Obviously created by people with an affection for Westerns, this humorous film cleverly and good heartedly spoofs the genre, helped by a suitable twangy guitar/Mexican/spaghetti Western soundtrack and vivid background scenery. You know you gonna like it when our chameleon hero begins the film in a bright Hawaiian type shirt!

RangoContrary to other animated feature that goes deep in depicting fine detailed peculiar world that differentiates from the "human" world, the makers in here decided to instead resonate it as much as possible which is where it stands alone. Gore Verbinski's vision is projected clean and crystal clear that easily connects and communicates with the audience through excellent execution skills. Johnny Depp is perfectly fit for the role; as it resembles too much with Jack Sparrow and is supported with a great cast like Isla Fischer and Bill Nighty. Rango is a typical western feature that is seasoned by some new spices and flows with genuine emotion which keeps it upbeat despite of its predictable script and seen-this-seen-that conflicts.

Rango is a pet chameleon who finds himself lost in the searing heat of the Mojave Desert. Seeking water he heads to the town if Dirt, meeting an iguana named Beans on the way. Once there he is confronted by the locals and makes up some rather tall tales that lead them to believe he is a stone cold killer of a gunslinger. A lucky shot when he is confronts the hawk that was terrorising the town persuades them that what he said must be true. The mayor makes Rango the new sheriff and soon he is hunting down bank robbers who have stolen the town's limited water reserve. His posse catch the suspects but they claim to be innocent; Rango starts to suspect somebody else is behind the disappearance of the water.This animated western was a lot of fun with plenty of laughs to be had as well as a fun story. Most of the jokes can be enjoyed by all viewers but some are clearly aimed at older viewers… some may think these aren't suitable for younger viewers but I suspect most of these jokes would go over the heads of youngsters. There is plenty of action, including some which may be a little scary for very young viewers… namely any scene featuring 'Rattlesnake Jake'. The CGI animation is impressive and the voice cast do a fine job bringing their characters to life; most notably Johnny Depp and Isla Blair as Rango and Beans respectively. Overall I'd recommend this to all but the youngest of children, and especially anybody who enjoys westerns.

I always thought that only Pixar, was able to write a story which appeals to those efforts of parents to keep children in history and help them with their explanations to understand, the same task of every parent in life for your child. Rango, a story whose main message is the value of our most precious natural resource "Water" and motivation not to give up in the arduous task of fighting destiny in pursuit of our mission in this life. With this material, we add another one of the thus generating tool to change our world, consciousness. We encourage production to continue producing this kind of history that help parents to be parents and children to be the future we all want.
