Animation. Fantasy. Comedy. Adventure When, by executive decree, all the canine pets of Megasaki City are exiled to a vast garbage-dump called Trash Island, 12-year-old Atari sets off alone in a miniature Junior-Turbo Prop and flies across the river in search of his bodyguard-dog, Spots. There, with the assistance of a pack of newly-found mongrel friends, he begins an epic journey that will decide the fate and future of the entire Prefecture.

	Author	Review
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"Perhaps not an entire meal, but rewarding nonetheless (...) Any time spent away from the eponymous isle passes rather too slowly (...) Lovably mad"	NEU
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"[A] thoroughly captivating tale (...) The unique charm of 'Isle of Dogs' is its bottomless vault of curios, its sly humor, playful graphic inserts and dexterous narrative detours."	POS
United States	Scott Mendelson Forbes	"A visual and narrative delight (...) It is a charming and funny story that doubles as a grim parable for our current grim times."	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"The staggeringly well-crafted 'Isle of Dogs' is nothing if not Anderson’s most imaginative film to date (...) The animation in this film is a truly stunning achievement"	POS
United States	Jessica Kiang The Playlist	"As far as representation goes, the stunning, brimful, extraordinary 'Isle of Dogs' can’t really be said to do anyone’s culture a disservice"	POS
United Kingdom	Jonathan Romney The Guardian	"The character design is brilliant (...) The production design is consistently inspired and often quite beautiful (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"So lush with gorgeous detail it’s like a piece of highly-textured haute couture, there’s also a sharp social message behind the elaborate seams"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Robey Telegraph	"Anderson’s weirdest concoction ever, in all sorts of good ways (...) The film’s graphic detailing, even by Anderson’s standards, is an ever-replenishing smorgasbord (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
