Wes Anderson conjures a dystopian future Japan in magical stop-motion. After a canine virus outbreak, the dogs of Megasaki are exiled to a vast island garbage dump. When Atari (the daring twelve-year-old ward of the city’s mayor) sets out to rescue his beloved Spots, he meets a pack of mongrel friends and is launched on an epic quest. Innovatively blending English and Japanese dialogue through a cross-cultural voice cast that includes Bryan Cranston, Greta Gerwig, Jeff Goldblum, Scarlett Johansson, Yoko Ono, and Koyu Rankin, this fable of loyalty and disobedience combines Anderson’s signature themes—friendship among outsiders, the adventure of rebellion—with a delight in the boundless possibilities of animated storytelling.

ORIGINAL THEATRICAL TRAILER:

Love the art and edition but I’m not sure why they decided to print the J card instead of an insert like the other Wes Digipaks and also why the poster is one sided and it’s got a fold out pamphlet instead of a booklet like French Dispatch with has both a booklet and double sided poster. Surely they had enough material and behind the scenes images to make an actual booklet. Still a fantastic set though and now completely up to date with the single Wes Criterion collection
