Screening of the animated adventure 'Forgotten Island', about two friends who are pulled through a magical portal.
Forgotten Island is screening at Curzon Oxford on Wednesday 28 and Thursday 29 October, with sessions at 11.00am and 3.40pm both days. It's an animated adventure, rated PG, so it's one of those that works as a mid-week outing with kids or just a quiet trip to the cinema on your own.
The story follows two best friends who get sucked through a magical portal and end up in a place they weren't meant to be. Once they're through, they're menaced by a dangerous creature, and the stakes aren't just about getting home: they run the risk of losing the memories that bond them together. It's that particular thread — the friendship and the memories that hold it together — that gives the whole thing its heart, and it's what makes it more than just a portal fantasy.

Because it's animated, it's a visual thing as much as a story, and the PG rating keeps it accessible for younger audiences without losing the sense of adventure. If you're looking for something to do with the family during the school week, it's a straightforward choice. The two dates, Wednesday 28 and Thursday 29 October, give you a couple of options, and with the 11.00am and 3.40pm slots, you can either make it a morning thing or a late-afternoon one. Curzon Oxford is in the Westgate Centre, right in the middle of town, so it's easy to get to whether you're coming from the city centre or hopping off a bus nearby. If you're planning to go, just keep those times in mind: 11.00am and 3.40pm on Wednesday 28 and Thursday 29 October.
