Ready for a much-needed dose of adorable animals? Ahead of the release of Wes Anderson`s next movie, the stop-motion animated film Isle of Dogs, the star-studded cast is introducing their characters in the most entertaining way--as dogs.A new featurette from the movie takes audio of several of the cast and animates the dogs they play saying the words. That leads to moments that include Jeff Goldblum scatting like Duke Ellington while trying to explain his character Duke, Edward Norton`s Rex repeatedly bumping his muzzle into a microphone, and Bill Murray doing what he does best: talking around the subject without actually giving away any information.Also appearing in the video are the likes of Bryan Cranston, Scarlett Johansson, Bob Balaban, and several more actors--all of whom are able to describe their characters to varying levels of success. Honestly, though, it`s sort of the perfect way to encapsulate the dogs they`re playing. After all, dogs are notorious for being distracted by just about anything. Clearly, the same can be said for Goldblum.Isle of Dogs is set in a near-future Japan during a time when all dogs have been banished to an island made of garbage, due to overpopulation and a flu outbreak. It`s then that a 12-year-old boy voyages to the island in an attempt to rescue his own dog. The movie is in theaters on March 23.
