Critics praised 'Forgotten Island' for its richly detailed animation and deep integration of Filipino folklore. The film blends anime, manga, 1990s street art, video games, and classical animation styles into what one reviewer called 'the richest, busiest and trippiest animated movie of the year,' grounded in Philippine mythology that serves as genuinely fertile creative soil.
