Do you miss the pep, colors, and unique animation of Puss in Boots 2? DreamWorks has some very good news to share with you. After a first teaser for Shrek 5 that certainly got people talking, the animation giant is revealing some information about the film that will precede the ogre's return to the cinema. On September 25, 2026, American cinemas will host a project called Forgotten Island, otherwise known as The Forgotten Island in French. In France, this film could therefore be screened from September 23, 2026.
Few details have been shared at the time of writing, but the first snippets already suggest that a nice surprise is in store. Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado, co-directors of Puss in Boots 2: The Last Quest, will return to write and direct Forgotten Island. It is widely believed that the film will borrow its artistic direction from the Shrek spin-off, which made a strong impression in theaters in 2022. The precise synopsis of this new adventure is still being kept secret, but the feature film is already in production. described as “a grand, festive adventure comedy that transports the protagonists to a long-forgotten, magical island steeped in Philippine mythology.”
DreamWorks has been on a roll with success, but...
After last year's success with The Wild Robot, DreamWorks is gaining popularity through its risk-taking. The studio isn't resting on its laurels and isn't afraid to innovate in both its stories and its animation. However, this positive momentum could well be disrupted by other, less relevant productions, starting with the live-action remake of How to Train Your Dragon, scheduled for June 11. While Disney is running into failure with its own attempts at the genre – the latest being Snow White – DreamWorks is heading headlong into an identical trap by trying to replicate its classic shot for shot.
The return to Shrek, 16 years after Forever After, looks just as risky, especially since the very internet humor borrowed from the first teaser is far from having been unanimously approved. Unlike Despite the laziness inherent in the Dragons project, this umpteenth risk-taking at least has the merit of piquing our curiosity. Will the parodic tone of the ogre in the TikTok and Generation Z era succeed in hitting the mark? See you in December 2026 to find out for sure. Until then, viewers will be able to discover The Bad Guys 2 on July 30, 2025, and Forgotten Island in September 2026.
