- DreamWorks released original animated feature 'Forgotten Island,' a rarity for a studio system that rewards familiarity, per review.
- Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado wrote and directed 'Forgotten Island' following their 2022 sequel 'Puss In Boots: The Last Wish'; H.E.R. and Dave Franco voice the leads in what the review calls a gorgeously animated, frenetic film.
Why it matters: DreamWorks greenlit an original animated IP rather than another sequel or franchise extension, entrusting it to the directors behind the critically praised 'Puss In Boots: The Last Wish' — a notable bet on originality inside a studio culture that typically rewards familiarity.
