The movie was made specifically for the kids that ask “what’s an aswang”. Holy fuck the movie opens up with Jo’s Lola going like “nung ka edad ko kayo, everyone knew these stories” THE POINT IS THEY’RE BEING FORGOTTEN FOR GOD’S SAKE
everyone doomposting about how the ph didnt show up for this movie completely forgot that it just wasnt the weekend yet + everyone is most definitely waiting for payday LOL
@mirarasol I can help but cry watching it . Not only the story aspect but as an artist too cause little me wouldve not believe that they'll see a story through a lense of being a Filipino along with its culture and spirit and seeing it in a big screen and it just gave me sm hope and pride
I'm trying so hard not to cry in public transpo just thinking about Forgotten Island. I'm just so moved by entire movie. 🥹🥹🥹 As an artist I'm in so much awe at the love poured in this movie. I love being Filipino.

Maybe it's bcs his with his mama po .Since tiyanaks are born when their mothers left them to die or be buried without getting blessed by the priest (from where I came from)
when i first learned one of the characters was gonna be a tiyanak i thought it’d be a surprise antagonist cause these creatures are meant to trick you. scarier than a manananggal imo cause you really wouldn’t know at first
@incoherentnk You might not be Filipino by blood but u are by heart I hope Forgotten Island reached the success it deserves so that it could pave way for more SEA rep cause we SEAblings have the rights to be heard and seen for the world to finally know our stories
Words could not even begin to describe how happy I was seeing Forgotten Islands. After d****y’s halfhearted representation of Southeast Asian culture with Raya — this was a breath of fresh, tropical, hot and humid air.
I’m not even filipino but I’m a proud SEAbling 🇵🇭💖
you guys, the art direction they did with Manang is so fucking crazy 😭 her animation was SO GOOD that i was just giddy every time she came on screen.
and the sound foley for her character ?? GIRL, MY EARS WERE BLESSED!!!! my favorite part about her was literally EVERYTHING she did, the little movements, the animation when her body was literally splitting in half, and especially yung parang may jitter siya when she was trying to detect her wings to find them??? 😭😭😭
lea salonga absolutely NAILED her character with MANANG !!! I LOVE HER SO MUCH 😭 #ForgottenIsland
