[@SilverScribe85]

To answer your question...I thought the Spirit of the West was Clint too. But as it turns out, that was Timothy Olyphant voicing him

[@gingerbaker_toad696]

Watch Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas (with Johnny Depp as well) and you will appreciate this even a little bit more ;D

[@gingerbaker_toad696]

And maybe look up the bts for this one, really funny how Johnny Depp actually "acted" most of it in mock up sets to get the voices more authentic to the situations 😅

[@davidcase8635]

@ReelRejects Mayor Tortoise is primarily based on the rich L.A. crime kingpin Noah Cross (played by the actor John Houston) from the 1974 movie Chinatown.

[@DanGamingFan2406]

Rattle Snake Jake is one of the best animated villains ever. His design is fantastic, he's super intimidating, and Bill Nighy does an amazing voice performance. Him facing Rango is basically a reunion of Davy Jones and Jack Sparrow.

[@watershipup7101]

He's so cool. A gatling gun tail? Come on.

[@genjis5155]

"Go to Hell!" "Where do you think I come from?"

[@thusnameddigital9397]

He and this whole movie are a hidden gem.

[@squatchnasty234]

​@genjis5155 one of my favorite lines in any film.

[@tommyllama4558]

From 1 legend to another hits different thinking this way haha

[@PlayerOne.StartGame]

Cool fact: The entire movie was not motion capped it was animated using actual footage of the voice actors, they were told to act out the scenes. I love how realistic the characters (especially The Spirit of the West) look, yet they look super uncanny.

[@iceman10129]

You're describing most animated movies.

[@mattdoesntknowwhattodowith5760]

@@iceman10129not the way they did rango. It wasn’t just them acting out the scenes in the booth or whatever it was actual character acting walking around and stuff

[@nonenone2173]

I love how the Spirit of The West was Clint Eastwood but was played by Timothy Olyphant (Justified).

[@SwiKeyMTC]

​@@mattdoesntknowwhattodowith5760it's called "motion capture" and it's how Video games are made at the time it likely wasn't common in animated movies but now its pretty much a norm.

[@Mosthero1]

@@SwiKeyMTCwhat they’re saying is that THIS wasn’t motion capture.

[@Jonathan_Collins]

"It only takes one bullet." "You ain’t got the nerve." "...Try me." The movie was already golden but those lines are legendary. 🔥

"Go to hell" "Where is it you think I came from" BAD ASS!

[@colt1903]

​@@squatchnasty234 Every line out of Jake's mouth is gold😊

[@DontObliteratetheCommenter]

My favorite is "Thirsty brother?:

[@AlqhemyA]

The way Jake goes from calling Rango's bluff to getting his bluff called by Rango is probably my favorite part about the movie

[@retromeister3709]

Rango is by far the most underrated and under-appreciated Johnny Depp film of all-time and deserves to be recognized.

[@lexielynn03]

Didn't it win an Oscar? That's pretty well appreciated

[@colt1903]

​@@lexielynn03 Oh, the lies we tell ourselves for comfort... 😂

[@Wearywastrel]

​@@lexielynn03it might have beaten kung fu panda 2, but it gets talked about way less for some reason.

[@Jonathan_Collins]

Rango will always be a comfort film. As a person who is constantly struggling to find their own identity, Rango is such a relatable and fun character. "Who am I? I can be anyone." will always stick with me.

[@drewo.127]

Same here! While I’m not quite in the same identity crisis mindset as Rango is, I definitely have moments of self doubt and occasionally have identity crises about what I want to be or do or what I’m supposed to do. This film, while not perfect, is still very helpful and very insightful when I’m having those momentary self doubt intrusive thoughts!

[@LueLucifer]

​@drewo.127 Nah, it's a masterpiece. A good story with some Imperfections make it real because that's how real life is.

[@Moonlight.Howlings.666]

"Go to hell!" "Oh Honey, where do you think I come from?" Rattlesnake Jake is one of the most badass villains..I always smile widely when I see the "Sheriff" get shot up

[@bad-girl-coventhe-owl-club1119]

Compared to animations these days Rango actually looked like next gen! I remember being creeped out as a kid over the weirdness of this movie but only now do I truly understand what a unique masterpiece this was.

[@iceman10129]

Thats what you get for ILM making an animated movie. Sadly they dont do more.

[@colt1903]

I mean... Define "next gen." Cuz if a movie looking "next gen" means the sort of hyper realism in this movie, then... I'd argue that outside of certain styles, like a dusty western such as Rango, it'd be kinda difficult to make a "next gen" movie, but keep the... Spirit? Heart? No matter. Point is, animation has something that live action doesn't, and making every movie "next gen" kinds of realistic, would run the risk of ruining that. Which is unacceptable.

[@Rembreiker_lychec9257]

When rango said "Believe in that sign, for as it hangs, there is hope..." the sign got shot down by rattlesnake jake and even after that, it was still hanging. Lots of hidden messages in this movie is what I enjoy the most.

[@tariqshort4025]

good catch.

[@videohistory722]

Fun fact: this movie was made with enhanced method acting. Essentially the VAs filmed the entire movie as themselves, and based the animation on their movements and facial expressions. They did the same thing in fantastic Mr fox.

[@rydergolde3169]

two things 1) they once referred to it as "not motion capture, but *emotion* capture" 2) I had no idea Fantastic Mr. Fox was made that way, I love the cuss out of that movie!

[@LivingFire_BurningFlame]

Rango is one of the ugliest talking animal movies I've ever seen, and that's part of what makes it so great. The designs really do feel dry, dusty, and gritty, just like the desert and westerns, and Rango clearly stands out from the others with his bright, clean design. As a kid this made the movie feel boring to me but now I see it as charming genius.

[@Wearywastrel]

It definitely grows on you.

[@MrJamaigar]

It takes twice the work not just to retain real animals' features, but to animate them just as you would other cartoonier characters'.

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

The scene where Rango stumbled upon Raoul Duke and Dr. Gonzo makes the cameo even funnier, not just because it's a nod to Johnny Depp's previous role, but it's because I forgot that _Rango_ is a Nickelodeon movie, meaning that the events of _Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas_ is canon to the Nickelodeon lore.

[@LinkIsAPothead]

I'm so glad I'm not the only Hunter S. Thompson fan that absolutely loves this little cameo

[@lbcstyle6659]

I personally think that this movie is Raoul Dukes adrenochrome trip. He wakes up with a lizard tail.

[@VelaNovaBlaze]

I was expecting a reaction to atleast the same voice of Johnny Depp

[@slayer45670]

I love that the Spirit of the west looks like Clint Eastwood but voiced by Timothy Olyphant (the modern go-to lawman in westerns)

[@DTreaN14]

Fun fact this scene was a cameo of a movie Johnny deep did called Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) 7:36

[@Cruzetti-xx3hg]

Was looking for this comment

[@Sgt-Gravy]

Thank you for pointing this out. I noticed they didn't say anything about fear & loathing so I figured they haven't seen it.

[@brianking581]

@@Cruzetti-xx3hg me too.

[@DeLion_1612]

“No man can walk out on his own story” - Spirit of the West (aka Timothy Olyphant) That quote still sticks with me to this day

[@maty5510]

"I think you just swallowed plan b" That double entendre was something I never noticed watching this way back 🤣

[@mscptizzy]

😂 like they said "this is not really a kids movie!"

[@Rev_KJ]

42:50, I actually thought Americans confusing English and Australian accents was a myth but here we are. Ray Winstone, a great Australian actor :D

[@MrJamaigar]

Scottish and Irish accents are just as hard for Americans to tell apart 😅

[@K7CG2004]

Not surprised this won for Animated Feature. The design for the reptiles and the town is really well made. Plus, I love the western theme for it.

[@K0m30ng]

The fact that Rango beat Kung Fu Panda 2 and Puss In Boots at the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature at that time was freaking awesome. I can't remember the last time I felt so thirsty while watching a movie than this, you can just feel the damn heat in the movie

[@seezar100]

Probably should have been Kung Fu Panda 2 tbh

[@billbill6094]

Puss in Boots 1 was not that good.

[@dylancooper4993]

I knew I had beef with this movie. Kung Fu Panda 2 is one of my favorite movies of all time

[@samcochran8203]

@USANATV2007 but certainly not as near good as Rango

[@Lord_SQUIDIOUS]

@@samcochran8203honestly I like Rango a little better, but kfp as a franchise is among the best animated films ever

57:00 “No need to panic but I think you just swallowed plan b” 😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[@timcarder2170]

Every time I see that scene, I wonder if the writers were being sneaky, and referencing the *"Plan-B"* morning after pill?😊

[@miguelgenovata6250]

i like how this movie subtly implies that anyone can become who they want to be just as long as they believe they can, and that's not through lies, though impersonation, but being true to yourself and by following a good cause.

[@MDelasEdits]

"Try me" the coldest line in the movie🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶

[@squatchnasty234]

For me it's the response to go to hell. "Where do you think I come from."

[@Juane9000]

For me, "Don't tango with the rango"

[@RockPowerUSA]

Johnny Depp and Rango. 2 unexpected winners against stiff competition that year raising eyebrows and making people search out Rango... Who is this disturbingly relatable frog?🐸

[@3r1kofficial]

Johnny Depp and Bill Nighy play wonderfully off each other both on screen, and the recording studio. It's like the rematch of Jack Sparrow and Davey Jones, in an animated western, and it's so good.

[@MrJamaigar]

As if Jack and Davey Jones had started out as enemies and finished as rivals, each having the other's respect.

[@monkeybrain0212]

Rattlesnake Jake is one of the coolest and most genius character designs I've ever seen 😍😎 Bill Nighy voicing him fits perfect too 👌🏻

[@jgarnett616]

The fear and loathing cameo with Raul duke and his lawyer. Chefs kiss.

[@MidnightDarkGem89mr4g]

I love how the Armadillo is the same actor as Doc Oc from Spider-Man

[@ariz347]

I grew up with this movie and I adore it so much. I’ve seen it so many times, I was anticipating the dialog 😂 “THAT’S WHAT I SAID!!!”

[@saltymisfit6566]

I keep forgetting this as a Nickelodeon movie because it feels like a DreamWorks

[@theawesomeman9821]

I thought it was by Dream Works too!

[@billbill6094]

Man, this is a NICKELODEON movie. Such a gem. "No man can walk out on his own story."

[@axr7149]

Having seen 21 of the 23 Best Animated Film Oscar winners to date (only missing the 2005 winner WALLACE & GROMIT and the 2002 winner SPIRITED AWAY), RANGO might be my personal favorite of the entire bunch. This hits the perfect sweet spot of wildly entertaining and insanely creative storytelling.

[@raymundveroa.paloma672]

35:50 i only now noticed the tie fighters on the drawing 🤣🤣🤣

[@Moompl]

The setting of this film is actually based off a real like place in California, I believe. Back in the day, Las Angeles was growing at a very quick rate, quicker than it could handle, and it started to run out of water. To solve this, a group of people went out trying to find a water source, and eventually they came across a lake. They then built the famous California Aqueduct that runs across the state. However, over the years, the lake began to run dry. The lake has returned if I am correct but the idea of a body of water going dry to support a city is one similarly shown in Rango.

[@diegosalcedo7741]

Hay reel rejects the moment when rango got hit by a red car and got spray by water, the guy that was driving that was played by Johnny Depp as well and its in the same universe as fear and loathing in los vegas 1998 movie starting Johnny Depp, Benicio del toro, and Tobey maguire, its in the same universe it's happening at the same time as rango as well

[@funny69man42]

The opening scene where rango crashes on the convertible windshield and they wipe him away, the man was another character johnny depp played in fear and loathing also a good movie

[@ACNelson-officialchannel]

"I think you just swallowed Plan B." was an abortion reference. The voice actors in this did a great job! Antonio Banderas, Isla Fischer, Bill Nighy, Timothy Olyphant, and of course, Johnny Depp. This is such a fun film. Awesome reaction!❤

[@caldrissian8178]

Actually, the plastic fish that he sees in a dream is not a reference from "Pirates of the Caribbean" but from the 1993 movie "Arizona Dream". Also on the highway in the beginning, there is a reference to the 1998 movie "Las Vegas Parano".

[@mr.moviemafia]

15:09 Same, Tara. Hans Zimmer’s score for this movie is super under appreciated

[@Claurquz]

Such a classic

Timothy Olyphant is the voice of the Spirit of the West.

[@rhonecherrington2131]

This was always one of the movies I turned on for my kids, since I knew I liked it😊

[@dssrkr]

Don't know why more people don't know or talk about this movie. I remember watching it as a kid and thought it was so creepy that I didn't want to finish it. But after watching it full I felt it's awesomeness. I wish recent animated movies were this cleanly animated.

The GOAT of movies.

[@colt1903]

"That's a lot of traffic for the middle of nowhere" All roads may lead to road, but every road goes through Nowhere to get there. ... Plus, yknow, there's apparently a massive city like... 30-40 miles away, or something like that. So we ain't quite nowhere. Unless, of course, you count nowhere as the precipice of somewhere's border. But that's a couple too many philosophical dingers in one comment, so I'mma leave it at that.😂

[@colt1903]

Rattle Snake Jake, much like The Big Bad Wolf in "Puss in Boots: the Last Wish," is one of the best antagonists in animation history. Interestingly enough, both are in the movie for what barely even amounts to a quarter of the total run time of their respective movies, if that. Really goes to show you that the quantity of given screen time doesn't necessarily mean much compared to the quality of the given screen time. At least, not when dealing with "Force of Nature" style villains.

[@joelespinoza8579]

I believe in the beginning of the movie where he's on the windshield of a red convertible is a reference to one of his movie's where his high on lsd

[@neilthollander8890]

Honestly, I will watch any reaction Tara does- she is fantastic

[@davidnoel2977]

You both missed the fear and loathing in Las Vegas reference when he was being catapulted from car to car in the beginning on the highway. Seeing as how Johnny Depp was in that movie.

[@Stogie2112]

I saw this in the theater. Most impressive! It was an excellent, off-the-wall story, with much originality. Well done! The ritualistic behavior surrounding the water was outstanding.

[@AxeWieldingOctopus]

What is interesting is that Rango does not know what he wants so he expresses his desires through characters. Hence, his comment about hero needing conflict and choosing Rango as his name.

[@andyreacts]

Great reaction! There is in fact another version of the ending, where its shown Rango and Beans are a couple now and Rango rides off to save another town (and to serve a ride into the sunset shot). Search for it, its short but worth watching. It was the ending we saw in europe.

[@Cybershroom]

I don't know if it just me, but has anyone considered that the film Rango closely resembles Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath? The style, weirdness and humor is almost one for one, and not just because it is a western. Anyways, Rango is a spectacular film, really well animated, voice acted and an awesome flick, just fantastic.
