The dogs are wonderful. The animation keeps their fur blowing while giving them soulful eyes that convey the emotions a dog/human might have. The dialog is typical of Anderson with pointed irony. I wonder where did the idea for such a story comes from?
I probably recognized half the voice actors in the massive ensemble that contributed to this project. I presume being in a Wes Anderson film carries nearly the same weight as Woody's projects because of large number of actors involved.
I don't remember much about 'The Fantastic Mr. Fox' but I think this "boy-dog" story has more of an audience appeal, if you are a Wes Wnderson fan.

Popcorn, yes. Giggles and a few laughs, yes.
I watched Grand Budapest Hotel and thought it felt like a Wes Anderson film, not knowing he directed it.
He has a special touch that many appreciate. He seems to have created a loose cooperative of actors who enjoy working with him, however small the part.
and (as with his other films) enjoyed it MORE the second time.
He's one of those brilliant perfectionists that can create his own world,
invite you in, and make it work just right.
The Royal Tenenbaums remains a big favorite.

...I'd say his best are Moonrise Kingdom, Grand Budapest Hotel and Fantastic Mr. Fox.
Isle of Dogs I'd put in the middle somewhere.
The animation is amazing and always details to see in every frame.
But the story wore me down - those poor scraggly sick dogs seem to take forever to help the boy find his.
The biggest problem was there was no single dog's voice to identify with - like Clooney in Mr. Fox.
It was interesting and clever but emotionally lacking unlike Wes' best.
I was happy when it was over.
I thought Moonrise Kingdom was one of the best movies I had seen in years, and Grand Budapest Hotel was very enjoyable as well.
Big speakers and little amps blew my mind!
The previews were enough for me. Glad you found more there than the previews showed to me.
I guess I am an animation snob, I look first at the quality of the animation, and favor the freehand look of the hand drawn characters of my youth. The previews didn't seem to need animation for the story, so it created doubts about the entire artistic choice. The wooden animation style sealed the deal , unless someone with insight into qualities that I am missing can explain my mistake.
Better make it quick , because discount day is tomorrow, and I don't expect a long run before it gets blown off the screen.
If this movie becomes a beloved classic.. I can always tell my grandkids about how I skipped the film club screening with an interview about the film.
I thought it was clever, creative and very well done in a quirky sorta way. Simultaneously humorous and serious and portions of it may be beyond the youngest viewers. The stop-action animation was appropriate to the entire premise and also well done. A lot of things going on in the background and a curious juxtaposition of old and futuristic technology is portrayed. Interesting soundtrack too with lots of percussion. Overall, quite entertaining and recommended. If you choose to pass on your viewing let me know and I'll go see it again for you.
