After "Fantastic Daddy Fox", OCD master Wes Anderson made another stop-motion animation and moved the stage to far-flung Japan.
One day in the next 20 years, dog flu is rampant, so Mayor Kobayashi banishes all his dogs to an island full of trash, including his adopted son's guard dog.
In order to retrieve the dog, Mayor Kobayashi's adopted son stole a plane and flew to Canis Island, and then became friends with other exiled dogs...
The most surprising thing about "Canis Island" is the setting of the way dogs communicate with people. In the film, the dog speaks English, the human speaks Japanese, and there is a communication barrier between the human and the dog.
At the beginning of the film, there is a big subtitle prompt: the dog's barking in this film is all translated into English (with subtitle translation), while the Japanese spoken by people either has no subtitles (can't understand it), or is translated by the translator in the film. Interpret directly.
Therefore, Japanese audiences watch this film from a human perspective; audiences from other countries watch this film from a dog's perspective.
Finally, there is a film that truly brings people's perspective into anthropomorphic animated characters, which is amazing.
Not much to say about the film's obsessive-compulsive symmetry, harmonious use of colors and Wechsler's humor, just go and see.
The other is the luxurious seiyuu cast, and I can say that I am satisfied with being in the European, American and Japanese circles at the same time. However, the original soundtrack seems to be very limited, and it is recommended that you buy the original soundtrack to watch.
This cartoon is the film with the deepest and most obvious director's political metaphor, just to give you a spoiler, that is the war between the cat party and the dog party!
