The wise children and immature adults of the Wes Anderson universe
Wes Anderson recently announced that his new stop-motion animation project Isle Of Dogs will be released April 20, 2018. It’s his second such stop-motion film, but it’d be incorrect to label his previous effort, Fantastic Mr. Fox, as a children’s film, just as it would be to call his child-focused romance Moonrise Kingdom a movie for kids. They are, like all of Anderson’s films, set in a twilight place between childhood and adulthood, where the kids are more wise than the adults and the adults look admiringly toward the children.
