# What this rollout covers DreamWorks Animation's Forgotten Island opens in U.S. theaters Sept. 25. Universal coordinated a product push to keep the film visible after people leave theaters. The rollout mixes apparel, accessories, children's books and a food tie-in: Magnolia Ice Cream's limited-edition ube flavor in film-branded packaging, sold at Seafood City locations in the U.S.
# Why the ube ice cream matters Magnolia has produced ube ice cream since 1972. For this release, Magnolia packaged its ube in Forgotten Island branding and distributed it through Seafood City stores in the U.S. Ube—purple yam used in Filipino desserts—connects to the film's Filipino setting. Magnolia indicated additional flavors (like Macapuno Coconut) are expected later, and availability is limited by Seafood City's store footprint, so check locations before planning a trip.

- Mabuhay T-Shirt ($29.90), using a tropical Jo-and-Raissa design and a Filipino greeting word.
