Isle of Dogs was shot in the UK but the film is set in Japan. The viewer follows Atari Kobayashi, the 12-year-old boy who goes in search of his pet, Spots, after the city exiles all dogs to a garbage dump to mitigate an outbreak of dog flu. An all-star voice cast was assembled to take part in the film that includes Bryan Cranston, Edward Norton, Bob Balaban, Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson, Jeff Goldblum, Frances McDormand, F. Murray Abraham, Yoko Ono and Tilda Swinton.
