Isle of Dogs
Loyalty has a scent. And it smells like rebellion.
A visually sumptuous stop-motion adventure that balances whimsy and melancholy, celebrating loyalty and found family against a backdrop of authoritarian injustice.
In the future, an outbreak of canine flu leads the mayor of a Japanese city to banish all dogs to an island used as a garbage dump. The outcasts must soon embark on an epic journey when a 12-year-old boy arrives on the island to find his beloved pet.
