Isle of Dogs

Absolute great story if you love dogs sad with a happy ending

A little gem, pretty, witty, beautiful and inspiring.

Subtle humour throughout. Characters were great.

I just love it, the story, the way it’s done, the actors including Yoko Ono, Bill Murray, Geoff Goldblum, Ed Norton. Well worth watching. *****

Great film by a great film maker. Was sceptical at first that it was going to be good (my children wanted to wathc it) but really engaged and charmed by this excellent film.

Loved this film, it was so clever and funny it had me glued until the end anothermagical evening with Wes Anderson.

I’ve often heard people criticizing the lack of depth and story compared to Wes Anderson’s earlier work, but I gotta say that the last film to touch my heart like this one that didn’t come from the east was “Les triplettes de belle ville”. Even though IOD takes place in a fictional Japanese city and incorporates loads of lovingly crafted references to Japanese culture, you can tell it’s a western piece of work and that is not a bad thing. The characters (voiced by the Creme de la Creme of Hollywood’s a list, even down the tiniest of roles likeTilda Swinton as Oracle and Anjelica Houston as a mute poodle) are all-together lovable and the animation style brings back fond memories of Augsburger Puppenkiste (I’m german, look it up, you won’t be disappointed!). All in all, if you love dogs, Japan or great animation you’ll have a wonderful time. If you love all three of them you’ll likely wanna watch Isle Of Dogs again right after your initial viewing. It is that good.

at first I found it a little too tense - I suppose because it's animation I thought it would be more innocent (it's certainly not innocent) but on the second watch I appreciated the excellent story telling. Very emotional, music is awesome and atmospheric and the animation is second to none!! It's very dear to my heart now....

Aparece en la foto con unas láminas que no existen en el DVD enviado. Publicidad engañosa.

La película llegó a tiempo y en buen estado. Hermosa película, su forma de narrativa es genial, entretiene mucho y sus personajes son formidables. Viene hablada al español.

La película es muy buena, el producto funciona perfectamente. Buen servicio.

"Isle of Dogs" is a masterpiece of modern stop-motion animation. It's not exactly kid-friendly but it does have a childlike air to it. much of the animation is reminiscent of classics like "Davey & Goliath" in some respects. However, it has more in common with Leika's modern classics such as "Coraline", "Para Norman" and "The Box Trolls". The plot centers around a boy looking for his lost dog. The fictional city of Megasaki is ruled by cat-lovers who have found a way to banish all dogs to the spoiled Trash Island. This is a story of rebellion against tyranny and inhumane practice. The story is mostly told through the eyes of five dogs who befriend the boy and help him in his search. I don't want to say more as that would spoil the fun. This film is edgy and might actually be a tear-jerker for dog-lovers - but not in a bad way. The story is gripping and can be enjoyed by anyone over the age of 12 (this is not a hard number by any means). I think if I had to pick a favorite dog from the film it would be Oracle. She's a pug who is revered because she has visions (which actually turns out to be that she watches television). Oracle is partnered with a Black Lab named Jupiter. I knew a real Black Lab named Jupiter from my childhood and I have fond memories of him. This is a film of our time and it's definitely worth seeing and owning.

A dog is an animal, often considered the best friend of a woman or man, according to some. However, in the dictionary, it also has a second meaning: a dog is a derogatory term used to refer to an unpleasant, contemptible, or wicked person. It's essentially an insult. In my opinion, Wes Anderson, who is establishing himself as one of the best living directors, played on this ambiguity when filming 'The Isle of Dogs.' The movie is animated and set in Japan. There are so many ingredients in the movie that a short review can't properly do justice to all of them. One of these ingredients is political propaganda, used by a government to ban all dogs from a city due to a supposedly contagious canine disease. The government does not want to cure the disease and hides or obstructs all attempts to do so. Another ingredient is generational change in response to injustice, where the mayor exhibits all the signs of a corrupt politician. However, his orphaned nephew, a main character with a good relationship with dogs, plays a key role in re-establishing justice. To be that nephew, one must question the propaganda of their "family" and the government, and it's important to highlight that. Old and young people have different incentives in politics, and Wes Anderson's way of showing this is intriguing. Another important theme is "checks and balances" from abroad, exemplified by the role of an American exchange student who helps to expose and dismantle the government's conspiracies against the dogs. External intervention can help avoid historical mistakes, acting as an alternative power. Collusion across nations in their mistakes, or closing the borders altogether and putting those checks and balances to zero, would be risky. The movie highlights that when discrimination is based on characteristics at birth, diversity is important, and we should all make sacrifices in the name of tolerance. However, within species, there are honest and dishonest individuals. Some humans and some dogs make mistakes, and viewing government retribution through this lens is likely the correct approach. By the way, this is a 2018 movie, so, it is pre, and not post, COVID. In short, 'The Isle of Dogs' is a great movie that I highly recommend.
