DreamWorks “Forgotten Island” 2026 screenings

Overview

In July 2026 DreamWorks Animation used the San Diego Comic‑Con platform to debut an advance screening of its upcoming animated adventure “Forgotten Island.” The free, all‑ages event at AMC Mission Valley was promoted alongside an adult‑animated sci‑fi comedy booth, highlighting the studio’s push to generate early buzz.

A few weeks later, the Manila International Film Festival announced its 2026 lineup, placing “Forgotten Island” as a centerpiece with an advance screening three weeks before the film’s U.S. theatrical release. The festival also honored Lea Salonga with its inaugural Icon Award, linking the film’s Philippine folklore inspiration to broader diaspora recognition.

Together, the events illustrate a coordinated promotional rollout that moves from a U.S. fan convention to an international festival, building anticipation ahead of the September release.
