Wes Anderson is known for making charming, hyper aesthetic movies with a bit of an edge. In addition to creating films with flesh-and-blood actors, he’s also dabbled in animation and stop-motion with movies like “Fantastic Mr. Fox.” His newest movie, “Isle of Dogs,” will also be stop-motion, and a ton or work went into making the magical film.

Anderson’s new film is the longest stop-motion movie of all time. It took more than 30 animators almost a year and a half to create the film, which follows a boy trying to find his dog on an island of quarantined dogs with “canine flu.”

One animator could produce 7.5 seconds of footage per week and each animator specialized in a different form of animation. Some were better at action scenes while others had an eye for subtle nuance — meanwhile, some had great comedic timing. But it took more than just animators to bring “Isle of Dogs” to life. The film had more than 670 crew members who had to make everything you see from scratch, including the puppets, the sets, and even the handmade different mouths for each vowel sound a human character would make.

The movie stars Bryan Cranston, Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson.

“Isle of Dogs” comes out March 23.
