A DreamWorks movie inspired by Filipino mythology is now showing in Philippine cinemas, and Jollibee has its own little way of joining the adventure.
Yes, there’s Chickenjoy involved.
Jollibee Philippines has teamed up with DreamWorks Animation for Forgotten Island, an animated film centered on friendship, memories, and a magical island filled with mythical creatures inspired by stories from Filipino families.
And here’s the fun part: the collaboration isn’t staying on the big screen.
Jollibee has brought the movie to its stores through a limited-time Forgotten Island Adventure Bundle, complete with food, dessert, and an exclusive Friendship Charm Bracelet.
A Jollibee meal with a little movie keepsake
The ₱389 Forgotten Island Adventure Bundle includes:
- 1-pc. Chickenjoy with rice
- Pineapple Quencher
- Peach Mango Pie à la Mode with Vanilla Soft Serve
- Peach Mango Pie with Chocolate Sauce
- Exclusive Forgotten Island Friendship Charm Bracelet
The bundle launched September 16 in Metro Manila and became available in other regions starting September 23. It is available at participating Jollibee stores nationwide until October 31, 2026, while supplies last.
You can get it through dine-in, takeout, or drive-thru.
And honestly, the bracelet is probably the detail that makes this collaboration a little more interesting than your usual movie tie-in.
It’s a small keepsake inspired by the film’s friendship theme, something fans can actually take home after the meal.
So, what is Forgotten Island about?
The movie follows Jo and Raissa, lifelong best friends who are about to take different paths after high school.
On their final night together, they discover a mysterious portal that transports them to Nakali, a magical island filled with creatures inspired by stories they grew up hearing from their Filipino families.
Sounds like a pretty exciting adventure.
Until they discover the catch.
Finding their way home could mean losing their memories of each other.
So instead of simply trying to escape Nakali, Jo and Raissa have to find a way to protect the friendship they’ve spent years building.
Jo is voiced by Grammy and Academy Award winner H.E.R., while Raissa is voiced by Liza Soberano. The cast also includes Dave Franco, Lea Salonga, Jenny Slate, Manny Jacinto, Dolly de Leon, Jo Koy, and Ronny Chieng.
Filipino mythology takes the spotlight
This is where Forgotten Island gets especially interesting for Filipino audiences.
The magical world of Nakali draws from Filipino mythology and stories passed down through families.
Among the creatures featured in the film is the Manananggal, voiced by Lea Salonga. There’s also Raww, a well-meaning but hapless weredog voiced by Dave Franco.
So you get DreamWorks animation, an international cast, and creatures that many Filipinos may recognize from stories they heard growing up.
The film is written and directed by Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado, with Mark Swift as producer. Crawford and Mercado previously worked together on Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.
Why Jollibee fits into the story
At first, Jollibee and a DreamWorks fantasy movie might seem like an unexpected combination.
But look at what the movie is really about: friendship, memories, and the people we grow up with.
Jollibee’s campaign brings that idea into something very familiar to Filipinos: sitting down for a meal with people you enjoy spending time with.
That’s also why the Friendship Charm Bracelet works nicely as part of the bundle. It’s not just another movie-themed item. It’s something fans can keep after the meal, just like the movie itself centers on memories worth holding on to.
And, of course, it wouldn’t be a Jollibee collaboration without Chickenjoy somewhere in the picture.
Forgotten Island is now showing
Forgotten Island, distributed by Universal Pictures, is now showing in Philippine cinemas. The film officially opened in the Philippines on September 23, 2026.
Meanwhile, the Jollibee Forgotten Island Adventure Bundle is available at participating stores nationwide until October 31, while supplies last.
So if you’re planning a movie date with your bestie, this collaboration gives you another little stop to add to the day.
Watch the movie, grab some Chickenjoy, and go home with a friendship bracelet to remember the day by.
