Although recorder a few years after completion of the film, director Wes Anderson has no problem remembering even the smallest of details.
He has nothing but praise for all involved, shares good anecdotes, and makes a point of explaining the differing UK / US names for everyday items used in the animation - towelling / terrycloth, cling film / saran wrap etc Which may sound uninteresting, but once you realise the waterfall in one scene is actually just moving sections of cling film... it's pretty fascinating stuff.
Anderson could possibly have done with some company on this track, but even on his own, there is a ton of fascinating information on this commentary and I can see myself returning to it multiple times.
This commentary is only available on the Criterion Collection edition DVD / Blu Ray
Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
