I'd like to say Bradburyesque, but it isn't, (he's inimitable, & Moonrise Kingdom is a quite different feel to Dandelion Wine) & of course what it is is it's Wes-Anderson-esque. However, the maps are different, but the territory is the same.
But there is some relationship nevertheless. The dioramic, the poignancy of the iconic, is something that Bradbury dealt a lot with. The story "The Machineries of Joy" was a good example if I remember it correctly. But Anderson is a postmodernist, he delivers his images with a grain of salt that you can take them with if you become afraid of getting too corny -you can intellectualize them and feel witty about it. But Bradbury dealt masterfully with raw pathos, he was great at staying just on the right side but he did slip now and then in a way you couldn't help him as a reader. It is as you say, the maps are different.
