    Hang on Was the title "Isle of Dogs" a phonetic pun? Did Wes Anderson make a dog movie with a title that sounds like "I love dogs?" Because if so that's kind of brilliant

    The Criterion Collection has announced that Isle of Dogs will be joining the collection as a standalone and will also be part of a box set with Wes Anderson's first ten films on September 30th. Very hyped to see this get a release cause I adore this film.

    Watched Isle of Dogs with my kids last night. Still a very good movie. Fun because my littlest (age 9) was only 3 when we watched it last so he didn’t remember it, but he really likes making stop motion animation now so the movie really hit.

    @tarable.bsky.social and I went to a special showing of Isle of Dogs shortly before it was properly released where people were encouraged to bring their dogs to the movie. When the lights went down, there was a brief smattering of surprised barking, and then they were all totally quiet.

    Isle of Dogs (2018) This movie was interesting. I don't know if "artsy" is the best descriptor, but I'll go with that. Didn't "wow!" me, but it was thoroughly enjoyable and I liked the stop-motion animation. Will be checking out Wes Anderson's other stop-motion film, Fantastic Mr. Fox, soon. 4/5

    My parents taught me that the point of a movie is to be ENTERTAINING. I can watch something artsy like Isle of Dogs, something serious like The Batman, and something dumb with no plot like Jackass. They’re all entertaining to me.

    Grand Budapest Hotel is a very good movie (and so is Isle of Dogs) but it’s around that time when Wes Anderson became too much style over substance imo and OP wanted to avoid „tacky” which I would say those are.

    because I always gotta be a weirdo I like his movies better the more stage-y and affected and non-realistic they are. My favorite movie of his might be (the highly problematic oh well) Isle of Dogs, and I kinda loved his Dahl adaptations. When he has more fully rounded human characters I hate them.

    What I like about Life Aquatic is that’s his last movie where things are allowed to get chaotic. There’s some hand held shots in that movie and some improvisation. My least favorite are probably Darjeeling and Isle of Dogs.
