Wes Anderson’s “Isle of Dogs” takes place in a futuristic Japan, where the mayor has banned all dogs to an island of trash. We meet eccentric ex-house pets who are losing hope after months of eating trash. More than 1000 puppets were used to portray the dogs and human characters, along with hand-painted mini dioramas and countless miniature props.
