But or Rent - Rango - • Rango
A chameleon (Johnny Depp) who has lived as a sheltered family pet finds himself in the grip of an identity crisis. Rango wonders how to stand out when it is his nature to blend in. When he accidentally winds up in a frontier town called Dirt, he takes the first step on a transformational journey as the town's new sheriff. Though at first Rango only role-plays, a series of thrilling situations and outrageous encounters forces him to become a real hero.

2 great movies to do next would be Bebe's Kids and Who Framed Roger Rabbit😁!!!! They are great classic movies 😮!!! Please I beg you!!!!!

[@aquabutter7]

This movie's animation is in it's own league and serves as proof that 3D animated movies can look just as good as 2D animated movies. A lot of the character desings are not symmetrical, which gives them a greatly unique feel: Rango has his neck crooked to one side, there's a rabbit with a missing ear, another character has an arrow in their eye, etc. Everything is also insanely detailed and the quality of the animation stays consistent through the whole thing. It's just outstanding.

[@veronicawexel1291]

The lack of symmetry gave the modelers a fuck ton of trouble too because it was difficult to get them to look good from all sides. And such massive respect to them for that because they had every opportunity to go the easier, faster route by making every character symmetrical but they put in the effort to stay true to the vision. The behind the scenes stuff for this movie is just super interesting in general.

[@aquabutter7]

@@veronicawexel1291 I absolutely agree, totally recommend checking out behind the scenes stuff for this film. There are even videos here on KZbin that show the cast acting out the animated scenes on the set and it's incredibly entertaining and interesting.

[@Ani8900]

I have nothing against 3-D animation, it is a wonder to allow us to see things and a whole new perspective as well as certain limitations being eliminated to allow freedom to whatever animators can create. However what makes 2-D animation fascinating is that it's done by limited resources and for it to be done by hand with such skill it's hard to come by these days. Maybe not entirely hard to find but still back in the 90s and possibly the 80s as well as older animations it proves that such passion is alive be a two dimensional or third dimensional.

[@finalmountain]

@@aquabutter7 Excuse me, 2D is not really better than 3D, they both have their advantages and disadvantages.

[@derpy9800]

And the same director for POTC, Gore Verbinski So we basically got the trio back once again.

[@sarcasticat6979]

Rango is an underrated classic. The atmosphere, lighting, composition, character design, down to the textures on everything- absolutely still holds up to this day. The comedy is good, the villain is scary, the story is well told. It's one of those films that I remember seeing when I was younger and refused to watch because it looked gross, but as an adult (and someone who's SUPER into character design and animation, even if just as a fan and not a creator), it's probably in my top 5 favourite movies ever.

[@ronweber1402]

The Spirit of the West is voiced by Timothy Oliphant, not Clint Eastwood although it was intentional to look and sound like Clint without a doubt.

[@purpledragon1945]

if they could i beat they would have gotten him

[@williamivey5296]

Timothy Olyphant did a great Clint Eastwood impression as the "Spirit of the West". I think the metal beak on the hawk was a reference to Lee Marvin's hired gun character (not the drunk, the other one, with the silver nose) in Cat Ballou.

[@shismith8785]

"THESPIANS?! but that's illegal in 7 states " gets me, EVERY, DAMN, TIME 🤣🤣😭😭😭🤣

[@RB01.10]

I remember when I saw this film when it came out, there was a few gasps in the theatre followed by a good amount of laughter LOL Looking back that line, the “enlarged prostate” line, and the “are those real?” Lines made the adults in my theatre lose it when the kids just laughed at the antics and slapstick Yeah this film got away with a *LOT* of innuendo for a PG rated film

[@memyselfandi7782]

Rattlesnake Jake is still one of the coolest villians turned mutual I've ever seen

[@peternagy6847]

28:58 Fun fact: you don't have to be immune to venom to drink it and not die. Venom works different from poison in that it has to directly enter the bloodstream in order to take effect, hence why all venomous animals have fangs or stingers to inject it. So if you don't have any internal injuries, you could drink venom and be fine. I strongly advise against trying it however because it probably tastes awful.

[@IamSoFluffeh]

I saw Rango in theaters. With the bassy surround sound and size of the screen, it made every scene with Rattlesnake Jake insanely intense and intimidating.

[@DanGamingFan2846]

The hawk is actually female. Also, the Spirit is Clint Eastwood's likeness, but they had to get a sound-alike for the voice.

[@DanGamingFan2846]

@@wolf_0398 It's in the wiki.

[@veronicawexel1291]

Rango is one of the most visually pleasing animated films out there in my opinion. I find it hard to watch because of the intense awkwardness but I still watch it every once in a while because it's just so, *so* nice to watch. And the story is super compelling. And Rattlesnake Jake is just one of the coolest villains/antagonists ever, dude has *such* vibes and is even quite respectable. This movie is just wild, I love it so much.

[@laei6391]

Because Rango is not labled as "kids only movie stereotype"

[@veronicawexel1291]

@@laei6391 The "kids only" thing for animation is probably one the single stupidest things out there. If a film for mature audiences is entirely CGI, it still gets classified as live action because for some reason a"realistic" visual thing does not count as animation. It's infuriating. At least Arcane is a thing now so I don't have to go looking for animated stuff that actually has something to get invested in (since basically any animated film with anything real going for it tends to be foreign films and they're so difficult to find that it's almost not worth it).

[@RB01.10]

Looking back, I was quite surprised at how much edge on the jokes they were allowed to put into this film to keep it PG (The “are those real” joke, the joke about the “thespians being illegal” and the “enlarged prostate”) got laughs out of me and the adults in the theatre when I first saw this while the kids just laughed at the slapstick

[@alseenei8072]

Nickelodeon also made "The Adventure's of Tintin" and it looks just as good as Rango! One of their best, and I'd love for you to check it out.

[@erikas8643]

I agree, Tin Tin and Rango are two of my favorite animated films specifically for the animation styles, even though the stories are great as well. I used to read Tin Tin comics when I was younger Andi literally feel like the characters stepped off the pages and it's fantastic. One specific thing about Tin Tin as well are the transitions between scenes and textures... So good.

[@RB01.10]

That’s where much of the controversy came from when this film got released It had Nickelodeon’s name on it but man did it have a lot of edgy adult humor LOL

[@finalmountain]

Paramount is the real people behind these two movies

[@steinaf]

A criminally underrated movie, I watched this with my brother and he loves it.

[@ronweber1402]

Toad, not frog. Toads live on land only going to water to mate, frogs live in and near water full time and tortoise, not turtle for the same reason. All of the animals depicted, except Rango, are indigenous to the American southwest.

[@PhoenixPrime]

Not to burst your bubble or anything, but the Spirit of the West was actually played by Timothy Olyphant (Cobb Vanth)!

[@M0nit0r_2]

The animation "studio" for Rango is actually Industrial Light & Magic (ILM). They're one of the biggest VFX production companies in the world and this was their first full-length animated film. Of course it looks amazing 👏 I hate when people attribute the animation of this to Nickelodeon and Paramount. But I wouldn't put this even in the same league as Disney/Pixar/DreamWorks/other "family"-oriented animation studios. ILM is waaaayyyyy better than that and would blow them out of the water if they did an animated feature today. The proof shows in how Rango won best animated feature the year it released

[@pee-buddy]

Those big-name companies are the ones that (unfortunately) pay the bills and greenlight projects that we all ultimately get to see. Unfortunately almost every animation of this quality (I can only remember Surfs Up right now) bombed at the box office. That is why these truly high quality animations no longer get done.

[@laei6391]

Nickelodeon becomes a cash cow company

[@teddobomb9037]

Fun fact, chameleons don't change colors to blend into their surroundings. If I'm remembering it right, it's typically a sign of their combined mood and health

[@benoitcecyre7081]

Underappreciated is a better descriptor. Underrated doesn't work as well considering this movie is one of the very few to take the Oscar award for best animated feature film away from Disney/Pixar.

[@TheRaven384]

I had low expectations when I first watch this movie, but was completely blown away at how good it is. I think it’s underrated because it’s a little dark and not quite for young audiences. P.S, those birds they're riding are roadrunners.

[@juanguillen9409]

I loved this movie as a kid, it always inspired me when Rango was humiliated, but then came back to save the town. Everyone at school hated it, called it ugly and boring, but I’m so happy that I loved it. Especially now since I’m familiar with who Clint Eastwood is, just make 100 times more inspiring and heroic, love for Rango 🫶🏽💪🏽

[@Chadolotl]

[@ninabina616]

I'm obsessed with this movie😳 It has the perfect amount of comedy, suspense and wisdom all in one!!

[@mwroach1251]

The "komodo dragon" is actually a lizard called a Gila Monster, one of only two venomous lizard species. Beans is a desert species called a Chuckwalla. The birds they ride as horses are road runners. The Mariachi are burrowing owls. The character design is nightmarish in my opinion lol the only characters I can stand to look at are the hawk and rattlesnake Jake. The animation itself is stunning though.

[@spiderfingers86]

Directed by Gore Verbinski starring Johnny Depp as a Chameleon who gets stuck in the middle of the dessert in which he comes across a town with a massive water drought

[@RB01.10]

I just found out he’s the same one who directed the first three POTC films and the underrated 1997 “Mouse Hunt” But looking back, it makes sense it’s the same guy as all those films have such wacky zany humor

[@zoeysavino709]

Also featuring Isla Fisher as Beans, Abigail Breslin as Priscilla, Ned Beatty as Tortoise John, Timothy Olyphant as the Spirit of the West, Ray Winstone as Bad Bill, Alfred Molina as Roadkill, and starring as Rattlesnake Jake, Bill Nighy

[@botondnyitrai3128]

One of my all time favourites, definetly a true classic. A real masterpiece.

[@mistingwolf]

It's such a refreshing change from Disney/Pixar schmaltzy movies (don't get me wrong, I love those too). The extended version is certainly worth the watch because it adds some extra context and some great scenes. The graphics in this movie were stunning then, and they're still amazing now; it'll hold up for a long time, I think! edit: Bad Bill is not a komodo dragon; he's a gila monster, a desert-specialist lizard with a venomous bite. The "horse" birds are roadrunners.

[@mindlessscarecrow4886]

Oh freaking yes, one of my fav animated movies of all time

[@DanGamingFan2846]

The best, most gorgeous western I've ever seen! There's a reason it won Best Animated Feature.

[@mogwiawolf4354]

Also the name of the person they wrote as horses are called roadrunners

[@calistodorren]

I'm so glad people are finally reacting to this movie; I really enjoyed it in the theater, and I'm happy that you feel the same even though you have to see it via disk/streaming service.

[@MrDanteMason]

For what it’s worth, Timothy Oliphant is basically a modern Clint Eastwood.

I am sooooo glad you watched this, more people need to react to Rango!! 😆 Oh and forgot to mention in case anyone didn’t, that Sing 2 is a great animated movie that came out recently *not* made by Pixar. If you ever get around to it I think you’ll enjoy it!

[@Colin-bowser]

This movie was shot live action and the animation was built around it. Very creative and innovating idea

[@calliea735]

I hope someone mentioned it by now, but just in case, the birds they ride as horses are road runners :)

[@idkaboutthisfuckoffyoutube1041]

It’s a Clint Eastwood sound alike but it is a nod to his character

This movie is so good. I have always loved it. I was surprised this randomly got recommended to me. I just happened to listen to some Rango music on KZbin yesterday and you apparently just happened to put out a video the same day! Cheers!

[@jacobjimenez07]

The Clint Eastwood cameo is him but not voiced by Clint Eastwood it was voiced by someone else

[@matthewcline2728]

Yeah, I liked the design of Rattlesnake Jake as well. And I’m sure that once he dragged the mayor away, he probably killed him offscreen. But I could be wrong there. Anyway, this film apparently made $120 million of it’s $135 million budget as far the US, and Canada went. While I liked this film, I would have probably voted for Kung Fu Panda 2, or even Rio to win from that year. Still, I did enjoy Rango. Well, great reaction yet again!

[@claireteaspeaks461]

You should check out Kubo and the Two Strings! It’s not by Disney/Pixar and it’s really good

[@Lampey22]

31:00 i think you didn’t realise but in this scene, Rango is attemping to suicide by walking on the highway

[@royedmonson7033]

The birds ridden by the posse and later in the film are Geococcyx californianus, or the Greater Roadrunner.

[@tresheppard8942]

Tell me about it. I thought they were going to make a TV animated series of Rango for Nickelodeon, but it didn't. But I got over it. Because I just found out that it was never happened.

[@RB01.10]

Yeah I remember there was also a fair amount of controversy due to all the risqué adult innuendo in this film despite having Nickelodeon’s name on it. I think many didn’t think it was gonna be this edgy because Nick’s name was on it From what I remember the edgiest jokes that drew the most attention was the “thespian” line, “are those real?”, and the mention of the “enlarged prostate”

[@mogwiawolf4354]

Also you need to watch the movie called sleepy hollow that has Johnny depp it in it as well

[@XcaptainXobliviousX]

as a californian, its kinda crazy to me that people outside of the southwest dont know what gila monsters and beaded lizards are. super iconic creatures out here.

[@Armaldo468]

Wouldn’t surprise me if a ton of your fellow Californians don’t even know them. A lot of people out there don’t exactly live in the real world. (In fairness, there are unfortunately people like that everywhere. I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that most of Hollywood is completely oblivious to the existence of such things, though.) I’m pretty sure the regional factor has very little to do with who knows about what, though; I’m a proud Hoosier (in other words, I’m from Indiana, but Indianan sounds fucking weird) and have been familiar with a lot of those critters most of my life. Gila monsters are awesome and adorable, and I’d almost try to get something crazy like that as a pet if I didn’t have such bad luck with reptiles. (I’ve had two different Russian tortoises in the past who both passed away way too young. Supposedly they could live up to like 50 years. Raphael only lived to like 2 or 3 before succumbing to a bizarre respiratory infection out of nowhere, and Torkoal lasted somewhere between like 6-8 years before he inexplicably stopped eating. I’m having trouble remembering exactly how long he lived, oddly. However long Torkoal made it, even the vet couldn’t find anything notably wrong with him. All we can figure is that Russian tortoises either don’t do well in captivity or don’t do well *here.* Or perhaps all the care instructions were incorrect. As I’ve also had similar experiences with amphibians-namely aquatic frogs and newts-you can see why I’m rather pessimistic about my ability to take care of things with scales or slimy skin. Reptiles as a whole are arguably among the hardiest creatures this world has ever known, so it’s more than a little discouraging to lose two *tortoises* at such young ages. Man, even if I ignored the law and somehow got my hands on an alligator, it’d probably only last like a twelfth of its incredible lifespan; the mightiest of the mighty might still fall. So goddamn frustrating and painful.)

The birds that they used as horses are what REAL road runners look like.

Fun fact, some believe that old western films were inspired by the first african American sherrif, bass Reeves, in between the 1840s & the 1860s, he escaped slavery & settled into an old western town where both whites & blacks lived together without much laws, even though he didn't know how to read or write, he still became a sheriff, he took down more outlaws than any sherrif in history, few of his greatest tricks was playing possum, be in disguise at their home & distracting them by handing out a paper & asked to read for him, he than spent his final decades as a US marshal
