A number of cinemas up and down the UK are hosting dog-friendly film screenings to mark the release of Wes Anderson’s new movie, Isle of Dogs.

Crouch End Picturehouse
Picturehouse Central
East Dulwich Picturehouse
Hackney Picturehouse

The cinemas will be supplying water bowls inside and outside of the screen, as well as blankets so your dog can sit on the seat next to you.

We will supply plenty of water bowls both inside and out the screen, and we will issue everything with blanket so your dog can sit on the seat next to you.

 

New trailer for Wes Anderson’s latest creation, Isle of Dogs

Not to be confused with the East London location – the trailer has been released for Wes Anderson’s new animation, Isle of Dogs.

The film is set in dystopian Japan where all dogs have been banished to an island of garbage following the outbreak of canine flu.

The film uses the same stop-motion animation as Anderson used in his 2009 adaptation of Roald Dahl’s Fantastic Mr Fox and his first feature movie since 2014’s The Grand Budapest Hotel.

Isle of Dogs features a plethora of big name actors voicing the characters including Scarlett Johansson, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Jeff Goldblum, Frances McDormand, Harvey Keitel, Tilda Swinton and Yoko Ono.

Isle of Dogs is released in the UK on March 30 2018
