One of the tasks I worked on for Forgotten Island was establishing the tone and atmosphere of a script.
It was a lot of fun. To me, Raissa was clearly a clever character, but Joe was incredibly talented too. She had a creative mind and a unique ability to anticipate future trends. I wanted to incorporate those qualities throughout the concept in subtle ways. #forgottenIsland #DreamWorksAnimation #conceptart

a filipino kid not knowing what an "aswang" is is exactly why we need more "filipino-centered" movies like this. i don't want our future generation to know about cyclops, medusa, gumihos, yokai, etc. but not know aswangs and engkantos.
I watched Forgotten Island. It was good. I mean, the animation, the colors, the overall look of it were really nice.
But I also felt like it packed in so many Filipino cultural references that anyone unfamiliar with the culture could easily get lost or miss some of the meaning. Maybe that was partly the point of the movie - to introduce Filipino culture, but the runtime felt too short to properly explain some of those references or give them enough backstory.
I also felt like Manang's character was a bit forced into the story. The plot probably would've worked fine without her, but I guess she also served as another distinctly Filipino character.
Overall, it wasn't bad at all. It just felt more like a movie made for a Filipino audience, people who already understand the culture and references, than for a global audience.
I even heard Pinoy kids asking their moms things like, "What's an aswang?" So I can only imagine how much more unfamiliar some of the references might be for non-Filipino viewers.

TIL the actual 3d model for the iron giant is somehow just on archive.org
Ms. Rachel reveals she was warned she might lose partnerships and views for showing her support for Palestine:
“That doesn’t faze me because the kids gave me the platform. I’m going to stand with them no matter what. People on the ground in Gaza are risking their lives all the time to help kids. I can do it from Manhattan.”

A VHS tape I recently got from the thrift store was labeled "A View to a Kill." I expected a TV broadcast, but it turned out to be a retail dub when I put it in my VCR. I didn't think much of it until I fast-forwarded to the end of the movie and saw this...
