Do you like quirky movies? Do you enjoy stop-motion animation?  Do you long for movies that are so original that you can’t quite guess where they are going?  Well, me too!  That is why I enjoy movies written and directed by Wes Anderson.  “Isle of Dogs” has a simple premise.  It is about 20 years in the future and an outbreak of canine flu has caused the Mayor (whose family has a long history of anti-dog activities!) to exile all of the dogs of  Megasaki to an island reserved for trash.  Atari, a young boy who is his ward, flies to the island to rescue his dog, Spots.  Once there, he is joined by a pack of abandoned dogs, who have interesting stories, and who decide to help him find his dog.  Unusual hijinks follow, which include uncovering a government conspiracy, robotic bloodhounds, cannibal dogs, and incredilble cricus-like tricks.  The dogs come across as very realistic, as if they are behaving just like you would expect them to if they could talk.  It doesn’t hurt that they are voiced by the likes of Bill Murray, Brian Cranston and Edward Norton, just to name a few.  Many people may be tempted to bring kids to see this. but I wouldn’t recomend it.  Not because it is scary or violent, but the themes may be difficult to understand. The action is slow, but there are plenty of visuals to delight and most of the dialogue is witty and droll.  If you enjoyed “The Fantastic Mr. Fox,” I think you will enjoy this cute, bizarre and creative little movie.
