I spoke with the directors of DreamWorks’ Forgotten Island about why the film feels more mature than you might expect from an animated movie, and that was completely intentional.

The story isn’t afraid to explore growing up, change, relationships, and the reality that life can take people in different directions. The director shared how they wanted the film to connect with audiences on a deeper level while still keeping the fun and adventure you expect from DreamWorks.

Animation isn’t just for kids, and Forgotten Island is embracing that by telling a story that can grow alongside its audience.

Do you want to see more animated movies tackle mature themes like this?
