Watched it in theaters, happy to say it more than fulfilled my stop motion fix. Didn't really notice anything political with my blockhead brain other than the dogs being a metaphor for immigration, Tracy's "reeeesist" schtick (if anything her conspiracy theory talk made her relatable in light of recent events), and the scientism being pushed with the "Scientist Party." Also, Atari's mouth added to the charm of the production, though that's just my taste.

As far as my amateur filmmaker opinion goes Anderson is an authority to consult on making live-action adaptations of animated material. I mean if you think about it his live-action movies all encapsulate the methodology of animation production in a real-world context.

Probably the faggy distribution cartels in Jewywoodoo not wanting to pick it up; people in the film industry REALLY seem to have it out for cartoons that are not made from the big studios. Unconventional and independent animation has a big distribution problem in the States. IIRC I wanted to watch Big Fish and Begonia in theaters but it literally had two screenings for two nights in March and that was it. Isle of Dogs is relatively lucky in that it got to ~2K screens, but it being distributed by Fox Searchlight probably handicapped its overall reach. Although I haven't done near enough research to know what goes on in distribution arms.
