Books like Isle of Dogs

I've still yet to see Isle of Dogs - over March Break my sister and I were at the movies and we ended up picking Death Wish instead, which was so cheesy it was funny, and it had the most polite criminal scumbags I've ever seen oddly enough. But Isle of Dogs still looked interesting if not a bit bizarre. This screenplay version of the film captures the whole story as well as the mannerisms of the quirky characters, including Atari (a young boy whose beloved dog has been cast away), Tracy Walker (who seems to have been modeled after Sailor Moon with a bad home perm) and Chief, a mysterious and scruffy dog living on a polluted Japanese island.This weird story can be very pretentious sometimes, but overall it's a unique and unusual adventure exploring the dangers of compliance without knowledge and the value of friendship and sacrifice. Even Atari's corrupt uncle gets a shot at redemption in the end, making for a more complex antagonist. As a screenplay format it's awkward to read but I think it would also do really well as a film novelization or art book.
