Rango (2011)
Trying to break into the animated film market is this offering from Nickelodeon, ILM and director Gore Verbinski which stars the voice talent of Johnny Deep. A pet chameleon ends up in a wild west town as the new law man on the block.
This film does lack the humour and emotional core that you would get from a Pixar film but is chock full of references to westerns and films in general. What we end up with is a bit of a paradox, a film for children that will probably be enjoyed more by film buff parents than their off spring. While the film does not really excel in any area the sum of the parts is a good film in the end even if it does fall short of that elusive Pixar standard we hold all such films to.
4/5
