If you\u2019ve never seen a Wes Anderson flick then you\u2019re missing out. Anderson has been making feature films since 1996, and found serious mainstream success with ‘<\/span>The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou’ in 2004. Since then his all-stars cast, zany characters, penchant for experimentation and his love for a seriously symmetrical scene have delighted both audience and critics. If you haven\u2019t seen any of his movies before it\u2019s time to grab the dog, cuddle up on the sofa and settle in for a night of delightful film watching.<\/span><\/p>\n

What’s Isle of Dogs About?<\/h3>\n

But if you\u2019re already familiar with Wes Anderson\u2019s oeuvre, you\u2019re no doubt just as excited as we are for his new film ‘<\/span>Isle of Dogs’<\/span>,<\/span><\/i> as it\u2019s all about \u2013 you guessed it \u2013 pooches! His second foray into stop-motion animation after ‘<\/span>Fantastic Mr Fox’<\/span>, the film<\/span>\u00a0focuses on the fictional Japanese city of Megasaki, where after an outburst of \u201cdog flu\u201d the Mayor exiles all canine pets to the vast garbage-dump known as Trash Island. <\/span><\/p>\n

Personally, we’d never think of sending our dogs off to an island all by themself \u2013 we’d much rather take them on a pet-friendly holiday right here in the UK<\/a>. The Mayor\u2019s 12-year-old nephew thinks the same, and sets off on an adventure to the island in search of his lost dog Spot, where he meets some new friends in the form of a pack of mongrels, and embarks on an epic journey that will change the fate and future of the entire city \u2013 for both humans and dogs alike.<\/span><\/p>\n
