"Canis Island", a cartoon with dog elements.

The movie category is comedy adventures. It's easy to feel like a family-friendly movie with a cheerful atmosphere.

The story of the movie is not complicated either.

In the future Nagasaki, Japan, due to the outbreak of dog flu, the mayor ordered all dogs to be banished to a garbage island - "Canis Island".

The exiled dogs can only live in the air, cross-infection, scarce resources, and make a living by eating garbage.

The mayor's 12-year-old adopted son, Atali, hijacked a small plane in search of his pet dog, Dian Dian, and broke into Canis Island alone.

The adventure begins with a group of stray dogs.
