Synopsis
Island of Dogs is a stop-motion animation film set in a dystopian future in Japan in which dogs have been quarantined on a remote island due to a new virus called "canine flu." The film follows five local dogs—Chief, Rex, Boss, Duke, and King. They are fed up with their isolated existence until a boy named Atari Kobayashi ventures to the island to search for his dog, Spots. Atari receives their help, and they will protect him from the Japanese authorities who have come to retrieve him.

Isle of Dogs Review: Wes Anderson's Latest is A Heartwarming Tale
7/10
Isle of Dogs infuses writer-director Wes Anderson's signature humor in an offbeat, but still heartwarming story about a boy and his dog(s).

Wes Anderson tried to recapture the magic of The Fantastic Mr. Fox, and while this movie looks just as good, the story isn't there. The stop-motion really is beautiful, though, and I hope he takes another crack at it someday, maybe with another Roald Dahl adaptation (his live action shorts on Netflix were lovely).

This is underrated Wes Anderson! He really knows how to direct stop motion animation, and in this case Isle of Dogs is great, the characters are as compelling as if they were human.
