Main discussion: RangoWhen was the last time there was a western animated film?
Is Rango just the "Johnny Depp show"?What classic Disney characters would you see Johnny Depp voicing?
What we like about the film: atmosphere, character appeal and country crittersDescribe this movie in one word: texture
Music: the mariachi owls = the Muses from Hercules + the mice from BabeThe big question: which animals in animated films are beast of burden and which wear clothes
What didn't we like: crude humor, should it have been rated PG-13, redundant plot (a la Aladdin)Is the film anti-religious and pro-spirituality? Or neutral religious-wise?
Condundrums: not following his shadow, why did Tortoise John need the water?, what was Rango's real nameOur rating: Four stars ★★★★ all around
