Isle Of Dogs

In this stop-motion-animated film from writer/director Wes Anderson, an outbreak of canine flu in Japan leads all dogs to be quarantined on an island. A boy (voice of Koyu Rankin) journeys there to rescue his dog Spots (Liev Schreiber), and gets help from a pack of misfit canines who have also been exiled.

His quest inspires a group of dog lovers to expose a government conspiracy. The voice cast also includes Bryan Cranston, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson, Tilda Swinton, Bob Balaban, Greta Gerwig, and Yoko Ono.

Critic Reviews:

• " Just as the look of the film is breathtaking, the scripting is astounding. " – Mike Massie

• " Isle of Dogs will make the common adult feel like a kid inside, but make them laugh out loud and keep their brain wired to the modern dilemma at the same time. " – Dan Buffa

• " Wes Anderson just seems to get better the further his career has gone on. With Isle of Dogs, we see him operating at his most carefree. " – Allen Almachar
