Instead of talking to the voice actors behind the dogs with a
cardboard cutout of the poster behind them, Wes Anderson had Bryan Cranston, Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Liev Schriber, F. Murray Abraham, Jeff Goldblum, Scarlett Johansson, Bob Balaban, and Tilda Swinton interviewed about the movie, and then
created animation as if their canine characters were doing the Isle of Dogs cast interviews themselves.
