Plot

Rango is an ordinary chameleon who accidentally winds up in the town of Dirt, a lawless outpost in the Wild West in desperate need of a new sheriff. This is one of the most eccentric animated films you'll ever see: an affectionate homage to westerns, with explosive action sequences and lashings of well-judged humour and tenderness. It even has room for a few nods to the psychadelic world of Hunter S. Thompson! Rango is a dark, witty, and entertaining ride that's also fairly mature for an animated film. Excellent stuff.
