Forgotten Island opens, early viewers praise DreamWorks' original film
Saying that Forgotten Island deserves to flop at the box office just to spite those who makes clickbait “Disney bad, DreamWorks good” videos isn’t the win you think it is.
Kaleb Wilson 🔞68The filmmakers behind these mainstream Hollywood family animated films are very supportive of one another. It’s a shame that people on social media don’t understand that.
Justin Monti34Hey, remember when I said I hate when people use the other animated films to go and attack Disney? Well it’s bad when you do it the other way around too, seriously why can’t we just judge movies as just movies and not use them to prop up another movie?
LoudToon19Stooping to the same level as those arguments doesn’t really help.
EpicFrick18Why are people so allergic to enjoying a movie without comparing it to another?
Plushblue EP12Do these people not realize doing stunts like this could actually hurt the feelings of the people who made Forgotten Island and Hexed?
Media Droid11Why can’t people enjoy a movie without comparing it to another studio’s film?
Stephie 🏳️⚧️201I just want animated films in general to do well financially.
Mat Brunet (AniMat)154Just like using Forgotten Island to hate on Disney, using Hexed to attack Forgotten Island is equally as toxic and harmful to both sides. Again, this is why we need to be more aware of our behavior and not just focus on the targets because this is what makes animation discourses unbearable.
Studio Zolo70Animation "fans" don't deserve animation
The-Autistic-Artist 🥥 🍁🍉 🏳️🌈 Doomsday and Coyote vs. Acme Era49Toxic animation fans annoy me so much. Whether it is those who dump on Disney just to prop up another studio's film, or those who dump on another studio to prop up a Disney film. Me personally, I am eager to see Hexed and (hopefully) find the time to see Forgotten Island.
♥ Chaotic Brush ♥🔞39Once again, the animation community continues to prove itself to be one of the biggest jokes on the planet.
Christopher Richards32This is getting ridiculous. How about go support both Forgotten Island and Hexed and stop with the toxic competition and hate on these movies.
SJWJamesBond28Can we not hate both Hexed and Forgotten Island for no reason? Can we not root either to bomb? It is dumb doing this console war bullshit.
Lazy Girl23The animation community is now weirdos and bullies especially on YouTube and Twitter. It’s gotten worse. Wishing for creators and their teams to fail, hoping for box office fails-those aren’t “critiques.” That’s bullying.
Shana_Reviews20Broke: this movoe is superior, go watch this just to spite the other Woke: both movies deserve a chance to succeed and audiences should form their own opinion by watching, a true waste of time is not engaging with media at all
lambosaurs.bsky.social14Being in the animation community right now be like:
"Forgotten Island" is opening this weekend and unfortunately does not seem to be tracking very well financially, but going up against "Avengers Endgame: Encore" does feel a little like, "It's Malibu Stacey but she's got a new hat!"
Agustin Macias6It really sucks that people are falling for the new hat instead of watching something new and refreshing. I mean, how many times do we get people online crying about wanting new stuff but they failed to show up for them.
Edwin Kim6The marketing absolutely failed this movie. Not to mention this week has not just Avengers but also Primetime, Resident Evil, and that Brad Pitt dog movie. It is the ONLY animated family film this week & WOM/reviews is great thus far. But it'll need to be super leggy like "Elemental" to survive.
AM2I’m going to see it with my son tomorrow, we’ve been hyped since we saw the trailer a few months back 💙
Dear god Forgotten Island is fucking wild LOL Furries and kinky folk about to loose their MINDS watching this haha Super fun movie to see with your pals! Some unreal animation too!
Salamander Commander2Ohohohoh. Well that's good to know X3
Kame the Turtle🔜 Carolina Furfare1It's definitely one I want to watch
💚 Limey 🔜 Aquatifur (Friday) 💚1Sitting through the credits right now, yeah, the film was AWESOME 💚💚
Loc0 🐾1I mean, @doryuuz.bsky.social is practically on the poster art. <3
Richard K Niner1Probably gonna watch on Saturday
Masterofthemasks🔜ASC1Yeah it looks pretty good, so I'm going to watch it in theaters along with Wildwood and Clayface next month
‘FORGOTTEN ISLAND’ is now projected to open with just $15M-$17M domestically this weekend. The DreamWorks film is heading for one of the studio’s weakest opening weekends ever. #ForgottenIsland #DreamWorks
Taylor Ledbetter59"We want original animated movies!" (original movie flops) "No, I meant we want GOOD original animated movies!" (original movie with great reviews flops) "Uh... I didn't see enough marketing for this one." Keep on movin' them goalposts, animation community...
SoraPepperMint53Please go see this movie, we do NOT want another battle with an Animation Community over who's better. Just watch the damn movie.
EpicFrick40Remember, opening weekend numbers are not indicative of overall box office numbers.
Vic! Perfecto32This offends and upsets me as an animation fan AND as a Filipino
Charles Moss - Commissions are Open27If you want more original animated movies, go watch this and prove the forecast wrong.
MBThomas - Emergency Commissions Open22Hey guys, remember when we were breaking down doors and yelling at the top of our lungs about Coyote Vs. Acme. Well, we've got another assignment.
SJWJamesBond19Released one week after Resident Evil, Avengers Endgame re-release and Primetime being released this week as well, even a re-release of Transformers: The Movie being extended, no shit Forgotten Island is going to get lost and fed to the wolves.
Sean Aitchison19fuck man it had a big marketing push too
🍉 Video Girl Rally 🏳️⚧️ Laserdisc Lesbian 💿14I'm gonna be that snob here when I say it's sad to see animated films with so much heart, soul, and passion just utterly bomb like this because they're not based on a billion dollar franchise or become victim to some culture war bullshit. 1/2
ThomasBluWolf12I know this seems pretty low, but I do believe that word-of-mouth will help it push through, plus it has October all to itself in terms of family films.
