I really appreciate that Anderson took on Dahl and hope he continues to produce shorts (Dahl or otherwise). Lots of potential.

Watched The Rat Catcher tonight on your recommendation. Quite delightful and a good length at 17 minutes (don’t think this style of storytelling with one actor doing the he-said-she-said parts of a story’s narration would work in a longer form).

Couldn’t find the other 3 and didn’t have their titles handy. Netflix’s discoverability is terrible.

Could have sworn I was a fan of Anderson’s first feature film, Bottle Rocket, with the fresh young Wilson brothers, but looking at the trailer today I’m no longer sure. Now looks like the work of a completely different director.

Not a fan (generally) of WA’s work but your analysis tempts me to see for myself:) As ever, your analysis is a pleasure to read and think about.
