In the 1990s Philippines, lifelong best friends Jo and Raissa celebrate their last night together before graduating and going their separate ways, only to stumble upon a mysterious portal that transports them to Nakali, a fantastical island populated by shapeshifters, demons and monsters drawn from Philippine mythology. Aided by well-meaning weredog Raww and a ragtag pack of new allies, the pair must outwit the feared Manananggal and find their way home, before discovering the devastating price of their return: the complete erasure of every memory of the friendship that shaped them both.
Review:
A visually inventive, culturally rich animated adventure that draws real emotional weight from its central friendship, marking a distinctive and heartfelt new original for DreamWorks beyond its usual sequels.
