The foundation for every great friendship is the memories that are shared, as Academy Award-winner H.E.R.<\/a> puts it. \u201c[Memories] are sort of a love language\u2026 Our memories make us who we are\u2026 It\u2019s why Jo is afraid to lose her best friend: \u2018How are we going to make more memories?\u2019\u201d\u00a0This risk of losing your cherished memories is at the core of the new DreamWorks film Forgotten Island<\/a>, which centers around best friends Jo and Raissa, voiced by H.E.R. and Liza Soberano<\/a>, who are transported to a magical paradise. But the longer they stay on the island, the longer they risk forgetting each other forever.<\/p>\n

H.E.R. and Soberano sat down with Seen on the Screen host Jacqueline Coley to talk about friendship and what they hope people take away from the film. \u201cI hope [audiences] remember to hug their friends and realize how important friendship is,\u201d H.E.R. explains. Soberano agrees, adding that she wants audiences to \u201creach out to their best friend and reconnect and cherish the art of memory making.\u201d<\/p>\n

Forgotten Island is also heavily inspired and steeped in Filipino culture, both in the creatures, design, and mythology of the movie, as well as in its themes of friendship, family, and connection. Soberano explains that \u201cin Filipino culture, we have such an innate and natural ability to build found families anywhere we go in the world. Part of our culture is just so hospitable and welcoming. We\u2019re really good at connecting with people.\u201d\u00a0H.E.R. shares the sentiment, adding, \u201cEverybody\u2019s your tita, everybody\u2019s your pinsan\u2026 Everybody\u2019s your family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Watch H.E.R. and Soberano\u2019s full interview on Seen on the Screen to hear them describe what it was like singing together for the first time, explain how different it is to make films in the United States versus the Philippines, and confess their love for other DreamWorks films, such as Madagascar<\/a> and Shrek<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
