Positively charming

Rating: 8/10 (28 October 2019)

Jack Sparrow as a chameleon is a good way to describe the titular character. Naturally voiced by Johnny Depp, Rango is an endearing little lizard who shines in this terrific movie. This is a very adult animated film and is geared more towards older viewers, which I appreciated. There are loads of references to classic westerns and one Clint Eastwood tribute that is particularly great. Hans Zimmer conjures up a terrific score reminiscent of the legendary Ennio Morricone and the animation is visually appealing. Rango is a lot of fun and stands out as a unique entry in the animated genre.
