Star Performance

All the voice actors’ performed commendably. The Japanese voice actors performance makes it feel like the film is indeed set in the backdrop of Japan.

Analysis

The film beautifully portrays the story of the innocent dogs and of Atari, a boy who lost his parents and only finds solace in the company of his dog, Spots. The film showcases Japan the best an American director could have portrayed. It perfectly exhibits the lovely bond between people and their pets.

What’s There?

  • An emotional, touching story of the bond between people and their pets is beautifully portrayed in the film
  • Mesmerizing animations that keep the viewers hooked
  • The film is a comedy with a plotline that keeps the viewer engaged

What’s Not There?

  • As the film portrays Japan from a Western perspective, it might feel subpar to a viewer well-versed in Japan and its culture.

Verdict

This animation, directed by Wes Anderson, is a film that warms the soul by portraying the special bond between people and their pets. Even though it is a comedy, the film also deals with darker topics such as politics and mass-media manipulation. The plot of the movie keeps the viewers engaged and well-timed comedic reliefs keeps the viewers entertained. So, the Wes Anderson animation is a perfect example of a comedy with a meaningful plotline.
