  1. This could be one of the biggest flops in DreamWorks history. Personally, I didn’t like the animation style or the characters, and I also felt that Liza & HER wasn’t the right choice for the role. If they had cast a well-known Hollywood actress for the voice, it might have had a bigger chance of reaching a global audience and showcasing Filipino culture to the world. It’s just sad to see that this movie didn’t get the support it deserved.

    1. Eh di hindi na siya representation if you cast a non Filipino Hollywood actresses for the lead role. Nagawa naman ng KPop Demon hunters to be have a well told story which highlights Korean culture and at the while also casting Korean actors and actresses.

      Delete
    2. Nah. Kpop Demon Hunters has Kpop and Korean culture on its side (which is HUGE), catchy songs, and an easy to digest plot. It would have done decently in theaters, even if the choice to release it on streaming only helped boost its popularity, in hindsight.

    3. Ang panget ng title at yung bida hate ang Pinoy Culture kaya recipe for disaster talaga

    4. 12:34 Hate ang Pinoy culture? Porke may pinuna siyang ilan NA MALI NAMAN TALAGA sa kultura natin. Ang OA mo naman ata at nilahat mo na?

    5. I think another main issue with the film is that there's kind of a loss of translation between Filipinos who are culturally Filipino and overseas Filipinos who grew up in the United States and are more of a mix between the two cultures. I've seen the movie and I do really like it and think it's a nice little charming movie but, with that being said, it does not at all come off to me as a movie that was created with current Philippine culture or sensibilities in mind. This is very much a movie geared towards Filipino-Americans and that's fine but it does limit the potential audience.

    9. Hindi ko gets papano ng flop in my cinema here in CA whatever AMC theater i check, 80% full naman or
      More. Ang walang tao yung mga 3D cinema. Tapos over time mag sold out na din sa Pilipinas. Through word of mouth I feel this could get better tapos yung iba naghihintay pa ng salary sa 30th sa Pinas.

      Tbh though the trailers didn’t reel me in. But when I watched it sobrang aliw.

    10. At 12:28 you just hate your own. Filipinos were the biggest racist of their own. It’s hard for them to support their own. Totoo naman. Can’t believe this movie is being bashed just because they don’t like Liza.this is our own story. Our introduction to Hollywood even! Our own movie! Yet it’s hard for our own to support and promote it. Nakakahiya Tayo. The Mexican community showed up for us though. Salamat sa kanila. Buti pa sila they liked the movie.

      Delete
    11. 12:45 aminin mo na, nakabawas din kahit papano ng support si Liza dahil sa mga sinabi niya against Philippine culture. May mga kakilala ako na ayaw panoorin because of her.

    12. Parang yun frankenstein movie din ni liza soberano flop din di ba? Lugi ang producers. Yun followers niya kaya sa social media bots lang? Bakit di siya masuportahan?

      Delete
    13. They should've gotten Olivia Rodrigo to create more worldwide buzz for this movie and sya din mag compose at kumanta ng magandang OST. Madami syang international fans, nakatulong sana yun ng malaki sa box-office result. It's the Fil-Am movie makers who are so obsessed with liza. They're always casting her for PINOY culture hollywood movies when she doesn't even like the culture. Bakit sya pa?
      Also, Filipinos love inspiring or diva songs for OST. The song they gave to BINI is so "soft" or plain... If they only gave a diva song and utilized MALoi, Colet and Jhoanna's Filipino throat chakras, mabenta sana sa mga pinoy masses. YUng sa SB19 naman, revival OPM eh na tatak na tatak sa original artist.
      STop hiring liza for FILIPINO REPRESENTATION MOVIES.
      Mas galit nga sya sa pinoy showbiz na pinasikat sya kesa sa parents nya na mas nagkulang sa kanya.

      Delete
    14. 12:47 don't know lang ha, but since you mention Filipino sensibilities, di kaya Liza's opinion on 'utang na loob' which is very much a Filipino trait has something to do about it? Negative of positive man ang pagtanggap ng mga Pinoy sa opinion ni Liza but just the same marami ring tinamaan na mga Pinoy na nasaktan sa sinabi nya, 12:45 di kaya naging nega sa marami yong pananaw nya sa 'utang na loob'? kaya baka maraming na turn-off

      Delete
    15. 2:06 Panira rin sa marketing at promotion yang mga fans ni Liza na everytime may sinasabi si Liza dinadagdagan pa nila ng panlalait sa Pilipinas at sa mga Pinoy sa mga comments nila. So hayan Liza fans happy na ba kayo flop yung movie ng idol nyo 😆

    18. 12:47 Yep, that's one part of it. It's also a big reason why Jo Koy is such a huge hit with his usual Filipino-American audience but tends to flop whenever he performs for a Filipino audience in the Philippines.

      Delete
    19. 12:47 Yup, same reason why there is never really going to be any actual Philippine representation in Hollywood. All the current representation mostly represents Phillippine-American culture rather than Philippine culture.

      Delete
    20. 7:47 Agree ako sa lahat ng sinabi mo sana talaga si Olivia Rodrigo nalang na sikat talaga internationally di tulad nung Her at si Liza na waley. At kung bakit gusto ng mga Fil Am Film makers si Liza eh dahil pareho sila ng mga ugali na mababa ang tingin sa Pinoy Culture at mababa ang tingin sa mga Pinoy na nasa Pilipinas.

  2. Forgotten Island has surpassed $20.6M in the global box office against a budget of $80M.

    It's unfortunately so far one of the worst performing DreamWorks films despite its critical acclaim.

    2. Ito ang observation ko sa mga pinoy, kapag na recognize internationally sobrang proud na proud kuno pero kapag may movie or concert na gaganapin mismo dito di naman sinusuportahan. Yon ang nakakalungkot. Akala ko magbabago na ang ganyang pananaw nung si Liza na, ang problema naman naging nega itong si Liza, haaaist...

  8. Seriously, bago kumuda mga nega comments, pnoorin nyo muna. Ang ganda kaya sobra! As in nalulungkot ako sa mga flop news or something kasi why?? The storyline was sooo good at ang ganda ng representation ng bansa natin ❤️ sa mga di pa nakaka nood, go watch. The animation style caters sa mga gen z to gen alpha. Mix of a lot of style, kng di mo type, its a matter of preference sya coz my 14 and 16 yr old children loved it. Go watch now!

    1. The fact na kahit Pinoy e di nag enjoy ng Forgotten Island means na it's not even for Filipinos. Do you know how ironic is that? It also shows how they see our culture, like how they handle Alex Eala, and that is mob culture. I read a review na di daw alam who the movie is for, that only Asian women appreciated the movie and that's a startling minority. Aminin na natin na tayo nga pilit ang understanding ng culture natin aside from the memes to be marketed commercially on a global level kasi mejo European na di naman Europe, meron Asia na di naman Asia, Latino na di naman Latino at american na di naman America on top of a corrupt culture.

  19. Hindi kasi maganda yung character design. Okay pa ung Turning Red, Moana at Encanto kasi the world building was established and more importantly, the designs are attractive. It's animation so it will be the first thing to attract. Nalungkot ako kasi parang di pinag isipan pero yung Encanto kahit yung first drafts nila, magaganda and full of love and culture. I'll watch it on streaming. Everything in our minds famous kasi ang Pinoy dahil babad online. Dapat na magising tayo na out of all the SEA countries, tayo ang walang culture appreciation. Kung yung Raya nga hindi nag work at White Lotus 3 nag flop, what more yung Forgotten Island. Lesson learned na dapat hindi cash grab pag SEA ang setting.

  39. Here is my POV as someone nakanood ng movie. It depicts Filipino Values and Cultures. May pinoy humor. Para sa akin maganda ang animation though ung story fast pacing na incorporate nila ang 2d for flashback. Maganda naman ang story nya although parang may mga question ka s mga ibang characters, propabably may part 2 ung story kung napanood mo alam mo na ung tonutukoy q. In general i dont think pasok sya sa iba. hindi sya para sa lahat enjoy q naman ung movie which baligtad kami ng nephew q ng tinanong q kung nagustuhan niya sabi nya konti lng probably kasi 10 yes old na sya kaya iba ang trip niyang animation.
