The quirky and humorous film style of Wes Anderson is seen in all of the director’s films. His works are primarily similar in their motifs, directing style, cinematography and uses many of the same crew and talents throughout all his films. His 2001 film The Royal Tenenbaums was Anderson’s third full-length feature and his highest grossing film , continues the unique narrative style to an accumulation of his previous works and leaves room for continued experimentation in future works.
