Unique animation

Overall: 5

Unique animation and great story plot. I LOVE this movie a lot, although the movie poster doesn’t really speak for itself, but seriously, go watch it if you haven’t

Loved it

Overall: 5

Although the dogs in this movie look very much less animated than the cartoons we would see, the story line is actually very good, well carried off with humorous stuff

Reminiscent of Fantastic Mr. Fox

Overall: 5

Wes Anderson is a very unique director in every sense of the word. This movie is as Wes Anderson as it could be, it is uniquely in his style, weird, off-beat but humorous and full of life. For me, Wes Anderson is one of those directors that if you told me that there’s a project coming up that he’s involved in, I’m all in! His style is completely unique and definitely a breathe of fresh air. I would highly recommend this movie and all of his other works!

Beautiful story and stop motion animation

Overall: 5

Isle of Dogs” is filled with exquisite illustrations, whimsical flourishes and nostalgic details — old-fashioned labels, computer punch cards — that thicken the texture of its imaginary world

Awesomely different!

Overall: 5

Great plot, great indirect humor. Awesome plot twist too! The animation style isn’t that of the run-of-mill anime or dreamworks — which is great. These factors set the movie apart, but at the same time might deter the regular movie-goer because “its doesn’t look cute” or “it looks usual”. The package of subtlety and nuances in the conversations might also be an acquired taste. So if you aren’t that big on language, then this might be a 4-Star for you.

You will appreciate the movie!

Overall: 5

I went to the cinema with high expectations for this movie. I was a little disappointed at the beginning, but as the story unfold, I was very much drawn into the touching storyline and the superb stop motion animation. I highly encourage you to watch this movie if you have not done so.

Another Wes Anderson Masterpiece

Overall: 5

Huge fan of Wes and of stopmotion too, and was not disappointed! Love how each character has the space and depth to be introduced and developed. Such a refreshing, heartwarming and amusing story, especially considering how much the director actually hates dogs!
