This Watchcat Wednesday, we review the new animated feature film by Wes Anderson called "Isle of Dogs". We will try not to give away any spoilers, and we recommend not  watching the film's trailer, since it gives a lot away. Instead, here's a trailer of the voice actors who explain the characters they play in the film.



This is the second stop motion feature from Anderson, the first film was "The Fantastic Mr. Fox" based on a story by Roald Dahl.


"Isle of Dogs" is about a dystopian Japan of the near future where dogs have been banished to live on "Trash Island". Atari, a 12-year old Japanese boy flies small plane over and searches for his bodyguard dog named Spots. He meets other dogs who help him on his epic journey.

The film was set in Japan a distant future, the dog characters talk to each other in English, where most of the human character don't. There are some clever scenes where a character is speaking in Japanese, but a news reporter is interpreting what is being said into English. Very clever ways to set up this kind of storytelling.

If you aren't familiar with Wes Anderson's work, here's a link  that will help,




Both cat and dogs lovers will enjoy this movie. A lot great animation in the dog's dialogue and how they interact with one another. Without giving too much away, if you don't Wes Anderson's live action films, you might like this one. Its quirky and fun to watch.
  
And now, something about cats...

Again, only $18.52 in ad clicks to go and Google will write us a check for $100, which will go to our local Animal Shelter. Please click on the ads to help us get to our goal.

Wet Watchcat Wednesday

Our blog posts are starting to get some real attention. We've also got a few viewers from France and the Bahamas who clicked on our blog ads to show their support. 
We are only $20.19 away from our $100 goal. Clicking on the ads won't cost you a thing, but each click gets us to our goal. Once we go over the $100 goal, Google will send us that first check so we can donate it to a good cause.
But back before there were animal shelters, cats were herded from the east to the west. Back then, mice and rodents were ruining the crops and farms in the West and so, Cat Herders were needed to bring the big city cats to help the western towns and farmers.

Here's a fun video you might not have seen...

And here's one for hot dog lovers everywhere...
 
Its a rainy Burbank day and we appreciate all the views and ad clicks. We are working on our next blogcast and will share it with you soon.

Watchcat: The Shape of Water

On Sunday, the 90th Academy Awards took place and we 
were happy to see some of the people whom we have met this year got Oscars for their hard work. This includes Kobe Bryant's film "Dear Basketball" winning for best short animated film and animation director, Glen Keane.
 
And "Coco" for best animated feature film, for writer and co-director Adrian Molina.

We are also blown away that our Black Panther review has reached over 1627 views as well as last week's post hitting 657 views. And we got more ad clicks this week too, bringing our total up to $75.32 or only $25 more clicks away from our $100 goal. The money will be given to an Animal Shelter, Thank you for your support and click the ads below or on right side of your screen. Every little click helps...


Warning!

Some spoilers coming up for "The Shape of Water".
 

On Saturday, we went to see "The Shape of Water" which I had heard good things about, but didn't know anything about the story. This is usually the best way to watch a movie and I ended up really enjoying it.

I was surprised how much it reminded me of the classic 1954 "The Creature from the Black Lagoon" in design. And I'm happy to say that I like this creature a lot better, since it could blink in a fishy way.

Here's a link to more about the film. Below is something you shouldn't watch unless you've seen the film. There are a lot of spoilers in it, especially in the effects.



And on Sunday, we all learned that "The Shape of Water" won the Best Picture and Guillermo Del Toro was named Best Director. Congrats to all the winners!
