Remember the stories our elders used to tell us when the lights went out? Those whispers about mysterious islands, hidden portals, and magical creatures that lived just beyond what we could see. For many of us, those tales shaped our childhoods, weaving a sense of wonder into our everyday lives. Now, that same magical spark is coming to the big screen in a historic way, thanks to an exciting new partnership between our beloved Jollibee and the creative minds at DreamWorks Animation.
The legendary animation studio behind classics like Shrek and How to Train Your Dragon has crafted a stunning new film called Forgotten Island. Deeply rooted in Filipino folklore and family stories, this beautiful adventure follows two lifelong best friends, Jo and Raissa. Voiced by the incredible Liza Soberano and Grammy-winning artist H.E.R., the duo finds themselves transported to a mystical island called Nakali. Here, the mythical creatures of our childhood stories are very real. But their journey home comes with a heartbreaking catch. To return, they might have to sacrifice their memories of each other.
It is a story about the strength of friendship and the fear of growing apart, themes that feel incredibly close to home. Supporting Liza and H.E.R. is an absolute dream team of global and local talent. Imagine hearing the iconic Lea Salonga voice the dreaded Manananggal, or listening to Manny Jacinto, Dolly de Leon, Jo Koy, Dave Franco, and Jenny Slate bring this vibrant world to life. It is a massive celebration of culture, and having a powerhouse like DreamWorks put our heritage in the global spotlight is something truly special.
Of course, no Filipino celebration of friendship is complete without sharing a good meal. That is where Jollibee comes in. To make the movie magic even sweeter, they are launching the limited-time Forgotten Island Adventure Bundle. Starting September 16 in Metro Manila and September 23 across other regions, you can grab a special feast designed for sharing with your own best friends.
For 389 pesos, the bundle serves up the classic crispy goodness of a one-piece Chickenjoy with rice, paired with a refreshing Pineapple Quencher. And because you cannot have a celebration without dessert, it includes the new Peach Mango Pie à la Mode topped with vanilla soft serve, plus another Peach Mango Pie drizzled with rich chocolate sauce. It is the ultimate comfort food lineup to enjoy before or after heading to the cinema.
But the best part of this adventure bundle might be the physical keepsake you get to take home. Each bundle comes with an exclusive Friendship Charm Bracelet inspired by the film. It is a simple, beautiful reminder of the people who stand by you, through thick and thin, just like Jo and Raissa. It is the perfect memento to wear with your best friend as you make new memories together.
Forgotten Island officially opens in Philippine cinemas on September 23, 2026, and the Jollibee adventure bundle will be waiting for you all the way until October 31, 2026. Gather your barkada, plan that long-awaited movie date, and celebrate the beautiful, unbreakable bonds of friendship over your favorite comfort food.
