  • Isle of Dogs

    DIRECTOR: Wes Anderson
    CAST: Bryan Cranston, Koyu Rankin, Edward Norton, Bob Balaban
    It's an absolute delight to see Wes Anderson return to stop-motion animation. 'Fantastic Mr. Fox' was easily our favorite stop-motion film of the decade so far. In 'Isle of Dogs', a Japanese boy goes looking for his dog after all dogs have been quarantined on a remote island. Doesn't sound like your average Anderson, which makes it all the more interesting.

Related: Best new Feel-Good movies in 2024 & 2023 (Netflix, Prime, Hulu & Cinema List) Studios like Disney, Pixar and Ghibli are taking the art of animated movies to a higher level every year. They continue to be among the highest grossing movies in the box office each year, and then we are not even counting the merchandise. At the time of writing Frozen was released years ago, but you can't walk into a store without seeing Frozen magazines, cups and cookies etc. It's a business, and it's big business. But fortunately it's a business that produces something that makes people happy, and the not so subtly hidden moral codes, are not too bad for our children either. These are the ones we think are the prettiest, smartest and most compelling.
