A visual feast

Rating: 9/10 (15 March 2020)

A drifter lizard makes his way to Dirt Town, where he becomes sheriff as he discovers the town has problems, chief among them being that it has no water. Can he find within himself the heroism which he has only been pretending to?
This CGI feature from industrial Light and Magic on behalf of Nickelodean Films looks fabulous. Character and set design are remarkable, and animation is photorealistic. The story gaily lifts elements from here there and everywhere, and happily blends them together in a crackling script, delivered with gusto by Johnny Depp and a great supporting casr.
This is a treat.
