[@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

[@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. 🔥

[@squatchnasty234]

"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

[@DanGamingFan2846]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@15Candles]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@maty5510]

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

[@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)

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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?🐸

[@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!!!”

[@GrinchedUpTank]

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?😊

[@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.

[@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"

[@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.

[@twist58]

Interesting to note: The first and only Nickelodeon movie in history to win the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature!

[@saltymisfit6566]

I love the fear and loathing Easter egg because Johnny Depp played that character

[@kci517]

Rango is one of the most underrated films out there. Great story, great animation, and great voice acting. 🎥🤠 🦎🐍

[@MickeyMo600]

The GOAT of movies.

[@jgarnett616]

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

[@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".

[@saltymisfit6566]

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

[@theawesomeman9821]

I thought it was by Dream Works too!

[@monkeybrain0212]

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

[@alyssabullock6421]

There's a nice contrast/similarity with this movie and The Last Wish. Rango and Puss both had to face the "grim reaper" and put their pasts behind them, and become better people for the ones they love by throwing away their famous "legend" reputations. And in the end, their greatest enemies respect them for their growth and spare their lives. It's also neat to think about how Rango and Puss both throw the words of their enemies back at them in the climax! Rango: "It only takes one bullet." Puss: "Pick it up."

[@Claurquz]

Such a classic

[@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.

[@sosacooper6098]

Tara Erickson is my favorite character on reel rejects.. she’s like a favorite teacher or older sister that feels familiar 😂

[@crosssaved7545]

Tara, so good to have you back

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@billbill6094]

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

[@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!❤

[@mostrecenthero]

It's so good to see Tara again! I'm positive that when I have a family I'll def show this to my kids when they're older.

[@oneopinion6806]

I can remember seeing this when it came out and thinking the animation--especially textures, hair, scales, etc.--looked spectacular!

[@paul-juniorblack6151]

57:00 Is "No need to panic, I think you just swallowed plan B" after kissing an adult joke??😂😂😂

[@thomasgriffiths6758]

I love the reference to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, where Johnny Depp played Hunter S. Thompson.

[@nakumeakune1369]

" No man can walk out on his own story" ... The quotes in this movie are just 👌💯🔥

[@neilthollander8890]

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

[@jaykay3784]

There's a bonus scene with the whole town at the beach.

[@hollyxhawkes]

That Fear Of Loathing In Las Vegas part in the intro

[@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.

[@kevinmandevil9842]

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas reference at 7:44. 😂 Hunter S Thompson (Depp)

[@yevtushenka]

7:29 I don't understand whether you got it or overlooked but those guys are from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - another iconic movie with Johnny Depp playing the dude who's driving

[@Yeayeaman]

I really was not expecting the Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas reference, thats my favorite movie

[@raymundveroa.paloma672]

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

[@stevenolsen1868]

The Fear and Loathing part at thr beginning is an awsome cameo... of himself hehe

[@atbguy]

I love all the Pirates of the Caribbean references with the shots and voice actors, and it being directed by gore virbenski.

[@Divamarja_CA]

The “Chinatown” references are off the hook and I’m here for it!

[@NOxSPLOOSHxPLANE]

I'm surprised you guys didn't freak out over the fear and loathing Cameo that was absolutely brilliant the way they did that

[@mr.moviemafia]

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

[@MykFroopy88]

Did yall catch the “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” reference when Rango was thrown to the convertible at the beginning of the movie?

[@READY_OR_NOT]

That was Timothy Olyphant doing a Clint Eastwood impression lol

[@RealRecognizeReel]

Of course the Hunter S. Thompson reference goes unnoticed.

[@louiemartinez7684]

these are the types of animated movies I can’t wait to take my children to see, like I LOVE me some pixar, but the face on my kid when Im dying laughing and they have no clue as to why would be absolutely priceless 😂

[@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.

[@booth9666]

keep up the great reactions tara your spot on with this one ..have a great day guys blessed be stay safe and medicated....cheers

References that aren’t already super obvious: The mayor is directly modeled on the character from Chinatown, which has a similar plot device. The snake has the tiniest little Lee Van Cleef mustache.

"Dont panoc. I think you just swallowed Plan B" is wiiild 😅

[@saltymisfit6566]

I love that rattlesnake Jake is voiced by Bill Nighy. Not only is his voice iconic but he plays a great villain in fact I loved him as Davy Jones in the Pirates of the Caribbean series

[@Beesonal]

Watched this movie on acid in college. Might have been one of the best experiences of my life

[@thomasgriffiths6758]

I like and appreciate the Chinatown vibe also with the water controversy.

[@chaisaray]

Welcome back Tara!!!

[@Edmqueen]

so glad you're back!!!! hugs!!!!

[@muhammadfaisal5Y5]

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.

[@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.

[@JuanAlvarez-vd6yc]

7:38 was a reference to the movie fear and loathing in las Vegas with Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro.

[@Darkgod777]

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

[@imdiyu]

7:34 that was a homage to "Fear and loathing in Las Vegas"

[@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.

[@aubryellaotero1064]

Antonio Banderas voices the owl lol

I love director Gore Verbinski. He did the Pirate of Carribean trilogy and my guilty pleasure, Mouse Hunt and The Lone Ranger. Where is he anyway? Last movie he did is A Cure for Wellness in 2016. I love his physical comedic that he put in his movie. He is so underrated.

[@ethanmontgomery4744]

If you guys liked the general premise of this you guys should react to Flushed Away as well. Unrelated but, Meet the Robinsons would also be a great pick at some point!
