Isle of Dogs: Bow Wow WOW!

In Wes Anderson's fictional city of Megasaki, evil, cat-fancying, dog-detesting Mayor Kobayashi  exiled all canines to a hellish heap known as Trash Island. Spots, his 12-year-old ward Atari's beloved pet and trusted guard dog, was the first to go.

And so our hero embarks on a Homeric odyssey to find the loyal Spots and save him from the horrors on Trash Island. Along the way he meets an army of scruffy pups, voiced by the likes of Liev Schreiber, Scarlett Johansson, Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, etc., etc., etc.

The manipulative mayor's political rivals are members of the Science Party, who've discovered that he brainwashed and fear-mongered the people into believing their dogs were sick and dangerous.

Full disclosure: The Movie Slut had an epically awesome pup named Spot, who was the love of her life when she was growing up. Could that be why she adored this film? Or was it the clever, fun dialogue, the beautiful painted scenery, or the message, which resonates given our real world dilemma:

"Who are we?" Atari's friend asks. "And what do we want to be?"
