Review of Rango (2011) by Bill B — 27 Jan 2016

This is such a rare animated movie. it's so adult in its humorous tone and its references that it makes you wonder if it was made with children in mind at all. Think of it as a kids introduction to the Western genre (taking jaunts into the noir genre from time to time) It clearly has a great deal of love and respect for the Leone westerns as well as a hundred other movies represented within.

There is a lot to like in this film but it may not be quite as much fun for the whole family as others of its kind.
