Positive early critic reactions and festival screenings are anchoring trader expectations for a strong Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer on DreamWorks Animation’s *Forgotten Island*. The film, directed by Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado from the *Puss in Boots: The Last Wish* team, has drawn praise in four published reviews for its emotional friendship story, vibrant Filipino mythology, humor, and animation quality. Screenings at CinemaCon and Annecy earned enthusiastic responses, including a five-minute standing ovation, while the voice cast led by H.E.R. and Liza Soberano adds cultural specificity and star power. With wide release set for September 25 and additional reviews incoming, momentum favors a Fresh or Certified Fresh outcome, though broader consensus after opening will determine the final score.
