And just like for Fantastic Mr. Fox, Anderson's style can be sensed throughout. Watch the first full trailer for Isle of Dogs after the break.

'Kubo and the Two Strings' Review: Don't Blink
It's been out for a while in the United States, but that's the chaotic worldwide release schedule for you: Kubo and the Two Strings is only being released in some European countries now, and as a result our review is pretty late, and everything (or close) has already been said on the film. Still, because we think Kubo is a terrific film we'll consider it's not too late, shall we? If you must blink, do it now; then consider reading our spoiler-free review below.
