Forgotten Island

Forgotten Island opens at The Dome Cinema in Worthing this weekend, with screenings on Saturday 7 November at 10:45 and Sunday 8 November at 10:15. It's a DreamWorks Animation original, written and directed by Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado, and produced by Mark Swift.

If those names ring a bell, it's because they're coming off Puss in Boots: The Last Wish—Swift produced that one, and Crawford and Mercado are both Academy Award nominees. The story follows high school best friends Jo and Raissa, who stumble upon a portal to the fantastical island of Nakali. It's a place filled with mythological creatures drawn from their Filipino families, and the two have to face the Dreaded Manananggal before they forget each other. It's billed as a comedy, adventure, and fantasy, and it runs 109 minutes.

The voice cast is a big part of the draw here. H.E.R. and Liza Soberano lead as Jo and Raissa, with Dave Franco, Lea Salonga, Jenny Slate, Manny Jacinto, Dolly de Leon, Jo Koy and Ronny Chieng filling out the rest. It's a PG, so it works as a family trip, and the early morning slots make it an easy one to fit in before the rest of your weekend gets away from you.

So, you've got Saturday at 10:45 and Sunday at 10:15 at The Dome Cinema—two morning screenings to choose from.
