Ride Valkyries, ride

Rating: 8/10 (10 March 2011)

When a mangy chameleon ends up in a desert town called Dirt by accident his dreams of becoming a hero may suddenly become true. The town is in dire need of a hero - the water supply has run dry and the last of the stock is nearly gone. But is he up to the task or is he about to bite off more than he can chew? Animation at its finest this film combines elements of classic Western films with modern day animation and plenty of elements to keep the children in the audience happy. Like most modern animation it combines elements for a more adult audience with elements for a younger audience and it does it very well.
The adventures of Rango and the other denizens of the town are a fun story and the way everything comes together is compelling enough to make for a fairly long film - and there's plenty of space to introduce events that mimic other classic films, paying tribute to the better things that film industry has to offer.
Very good stuff, 8 out of 10 roads crossed
