About
Rango

Rango was a peculiar experience. It is odd animation at its wit, juxtaposing the European style of Spaghetti Westerns with surreal based humor and dialogue, which I think in fairness, it is a film that needs to be viewed more than once. It centers a trapped/domesticated chameleon (Johnny Depp) as he wishes for a difference instead of a life around a glass cage. What follows is the misadventures and mythology of the desert life. The animation was done by ILM (Industrial, Light, and Magic), it is a truly a unique, scrutinizing detailed setting and has a blend of Sergio Leone matched a homage to the late Chuck Jones' work. It brings new appeal to neo-western stamina.
