Rango

A gem of animation that completely slipped under the radar for most people. If you like Johnny Depps wierd quirky sense of humor and enjoyed his performance in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas than this is the movie for you. Despite the movie being 9 years old it still looks stunning, it manages to have a sense of styling to the characters while still being somewhat realistic, something the new complete farce of the Lion King could learn from. It's bizarre, interesting, surreal, complex and filled with subtle adult humor and if you have any interest in animation in general it needs to be watched. I stll enjoy watching today's animated movies but Rango really puts to light as to how much this genre of films has devolved over the years.

"The future, Mr. Rango! The future!" Love all of the references in this film from the Chinatown references to A Fistful of Dollars/The good the bad and the ugly. One of my favourites has to be the scene where Rango lands on the windshield of The Great Red Shark convertible from one of my all time favourite films Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas!

we see what we need to see. beautiful. what a soundtrack.unexpected

This is a decent movie. There were a few times when this movie remembered me of some of the spagetti westerns that came out in the mid-1960s.

The Spirit of the West is off course without a doubt Clint Eastwood. Too bad he didn't also do the voice, that would have been nice.

I bet Daniel Bryan likes the 1:05 mark

Ended up liking this one a lot more than I remember. While I'm still very unsure how about exactly who this movie was made for since I think the tone is frankly a mess, I really can't deny how unbelievably refined and advanced the animation here is (even if it can be uncomfortable looking at the visual equivalent of roadkill for most of it). Kinda dull first half made up for by a really strong third act and one of my favorite villains of any animated movie from the 2010s.

I loved this. From the clever and creative concept art to the weirdness to the humor and to the crisp animation... this is a great western. Feels weird putting this on a list of my favorite westerns, but they earned it. Makes sense that it is one of two non Disney/Pixar films of the 2010s to win the Oscar for Best Animated Feature (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was the other one). We need more films like Rango.
