Dork Wes Anderson possesses one of the
most unique visual styles of any
director working today

and miniatures into many of his projects
including The Life Aquatic with Steve
Zissou and the grand Budapest hotel
Anderson went all out in 2009 with the
oscar-nominated fantastic mr. Fox why
did you lie to me because I’m a wild
animal based on role tells beloved
children’s novel this was not only
Anderson’s first film adaptation but
also his first full-length stop-motion
animated feature Anderson returns to the
realm of stop-motion in I love dogs
while Anderson has acknowledged that CG
animated films tend to be more
successful at the box office the
handmade charm and texture of
stop-motion has always been magical to
him well I was always interested in
stop-motion I just like the kind of
handmade feeling or that’s actually is
handmade number 2 the film maybe
Anderson’s apology to dog lovers there
seems to be a running gag in Anderson’s
movies that if you’re an animal
specifically a dog you won’t live to see
the end credits in the Royal Tenenbaums
Buckley gets run over by a car in
moonrise kingdom Snoopy meets his end
via an arrow to the neck even in
fantastic mr. Fox man’s best friend
wasn’t safe gee good thing all dogs go
to heaven I love dogs which is notably
the first film Anderson solely directed
and wrote could be seen as an apology to
canine lovers everywhere perhaps that’s
why the film’s title can also be read as
I love dogs now ain’t that clever
wherever he is if he’s alive
who find your dog number one it was
inspired by Akira Kurosawa and
rankin/bass productions
when most people think of films like
Seven Samurai and Ren stop-motion
Christmas specials aren’t the next thing
that come to mind but Wes Anderson isn’t
like most people Anderson has cited
legendary filmmaker Akira Kurosawa as a
key inspiration for I love dogs this is
not only evident from the film’s
Japanese setting but also the poster
which simply screams Kurosawa’s
signature touch Anderson additionally
acknowledged stop-motion master Ray
Harryhausen and especially the works of
rankin/bass productions the titular Isle
of Dogs could actually be seen as a
modern island of misfit toys
the film’s unusual premise feels like
something that could have come from the
minds behind Rudolph and Frosty’s
Christmas in July believe it or not
Rudolph’s nose went out and all because
of something that started years and
years ago do you agree with our picks
