#149. Isle of Dogs
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/23/IsleOfDogsFirstLook.jpg
Dir: Wes Anderson
Genre: Animated, Adventure
Year: 2018

A stop-motion animated movie. Directed by Wes Anderson. Set in Japan. With anthropomorphic dogs. I read that description in late 2017 when I first heard about Isle of Dogs, and I already knew it would be in my top 3 movies of the next year. And it didn't disappoint.

I firmly believe that if Isle of Dogs wasn't incorrectly lambasted for "cultural appropriation," this would have been the critical darling of the year. It really has every element that makes for a timeless film--a universal theme, a solid adventure story with plenty of turns, and a ridiculously creative art style that is a tribute to the culture that helped inspire it. Had another certain immensely creative animated film not come out a few months after, it would have easily been my favorite animated film of the year...
