Director Wes Anderson's second stop-motion tale, like Fantastic Mr. Fox before it, is a hit with reviewers. Based on an original story by the director, Roman Coppola, Kunichi Nomura, and Jason Schwartzman, Dogs is set 20 years in the future, when 12-year-old Atari Kobayashi searches for his dog, Spots, on Trash Island, where dogs have been quarantined. The film features voice work from Anderson regulars Bill Murray, Ed Norton, Jeff Goldblum, Bob Balaban, and Tilda Swinton, as well as newcomers Bryan Cranston, Liev Schreiber, Greta Gerwig, and Scarlett Johansson.
“This one follows its own goofy rules, fills the screen with astonishing images, tells a touching tale of outcast dogs and a faithful boy, and does so with ultralively deadpan wit. My only regret after seeing it at a screening was that I couldn’t stay and see it again.” —Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal
