Can't wait to rewatch. Wish it was a Criterion release though.

Unpopular opinion, I know, but I did not like this film. Like most of Anderson's films, it was unnecessarily pretentious and smug.
I absolutely ADORE this film! My favourite film of the year! Wish it was a Criterion release too but oh well. Day one purchase for sure!
Yeah this movie was pretty stinkin' adorable. Up there with Rushmore and Mr.Fox for me.

I agree. I loathed the end credits where the kid lead says "And here we present Mr. Desplat's musical suite..." and then proceeds to list off the different orchestra elements. Talk about smug.
The only Anderson film I've liked was "Bottle Rocket." Everything else is just... off-putting. And don't get me started on "Fantastic Mr. Fox", which took a delightful little Dahl book and screwed it up completely.

Best film of the year. This opinion has a 0.1% chance of changing.

Next month's "The Master" must represent that 0.1%.

"The Master" actually looks good, as opposed to the smug quirkiness of "Moonrise Kingdom." If I want an indie film, I'll pick something like "Before Sunrise" where the movie isn't quirky for its own sake.
I don't understand when it became cool to hate quirky movies
Around the same time it became cool to overuse/misuse the word pretentious.
Wes Anderson is a genius, James Cameron is pretentious.
Well, a pretentious, cock-sucking douchebag is more like it, but I digress.
