Dog owners and their pooches stepped out for Ireland’s first ever doggie screening for the special preview of the new film Isle of Dogs.

The screening was held at The Lighthouse Cinema in Smithfield, which allowed dog lovers to watch Wes Anderson’s new stop-motion animated film with their own furry friends.

Set in Japan, Isle of Dogs tells the story of a dystopian future where dogs are quarantined to a remote island owing to a ‘canine flu’.

One brave boy, Atari, seeks his dog Spots and enlists the help of a muttly crew of dogs – Chief, Rex, Boss, Duke and King.

Every frame houses a staggering level of detail, which we are of course accustomed to from Mr Anderson’s vivid imagination.

Isle of Dogs opens in cinemas nationwide on March 30th.
