In honour of _Isle of Dogs_, a haiku:

A film about dogs
Played and directed by gods
Don't eat yellow snow

Beauty, poetry, and charm. _Isle of Dogs_ is Wes Anderson at his best.

I prefer foxes.

While Isle of dogs is a beautiful film to look at I couldn't help but feel extremely uncomfortable with the depiction of the Japanese characters. The Japanese characters had a negative hue brushed on each character that felt explicit and alien, this wasn't helped by the fact most dialog spoken by Japanese characters wasn't translated (intentionally) and the presence of a literal white savior character. For me Isle of dogs (I Love dogs) doesn't have the charm or the whimsy of the superior film Fantastic Mr. Fox and while I don't hate this film I don't think it holds a candle to Wes Anderson's previous efforts.


*My opinion may change with subsequent rewatches.

A quirky animated adventure as epic as it is adorable.

It's a typical quirky Wes Anderson film. It looks great and has a good score. The story is heartwarming. I love the way all the dogs interacted with each other. The dialogue is fun and snappy. I thought it was interesting to have the humans speaking their native language. I'm not sure why Wes Anderson felt the need to make this set in Japan but I did enjoy the aesthetic he used for the culture.

Wow, just… wow. Wes Anderson is absolutely brilliant. This is a visual masterpiece, stunning from start to finish, with a great story to boot. Amazing voice acting cast as well. 10/10, A must watch in my opinion.

Dog lovers, unite!

Another brilliant stop-motion animated film by Wes Anderson.

i always love hearing and trying to identify the voices in animated shows. This one was full of great A actors. Fun movie, too - I would love to see a breakdown of a scene. To see the work that goes into ...

Wes Anderson goes back to stop-motion puppets, using the same team he last employed in The Fantastic Mr. Fox. As with any Anderson film, it's meticulously composed and ornately decorative, peppered with spots of dry humor and awkward bits of stumbling dialog. It treasures the in-between moments and personal spoils, often at the expense of greater rewards. Sufficiently quirky and offbeat, but I had trouble getting emotionally attached, which is odd as that's usually one of the director's greatest strengths. Everyone's just so damned somber and drawn all the time. Understandable, given they've been exiled to a landfill island and slated for extinction, but still. Give us a little flavor when you're fighting robot canines or riding a suspended mine car through a raging inferno.

A fun concept and another visual showpiece for the highlight reel, but in the end it's rather dull and monotonous.

Looks good. It can get a bit boring but it's OK

Delicious Wes Anderson movie, with great actors voicing the characters

Well, this is a Wes Anderson-Movie - through and through.

For example, in one scene there is a Sushi-Cook. You are watching him making a sushi. First he is filleting a fish, then he stappels the sushi-portions. And finally he puts everything in a box to be delivered.


It's so full of Details and i like that style.

Overall the movie is japnese. It is made by americans and german, but it pretends to be a japanese movie. It is a love declaration to Japan and the japanese style.

BUT.... the story itself and the overall drama seems messy. Not totally, but i was not confinced. Anyway. Nice movie, but not as good as "The Grand Budapest Hotel", my favorite Wes Anderson Movie.

I did not like it that much the first time I saw it. Now that I have revisited it, I love it. A breath of fresh air in animation.

I absolutely love every little detail to this film, the animations are very janky and at times cheesy stop-motion!! Which I love!!!
