Just wanted clarify since I've been getting a few comments saying that I copied Cosmodore's idea, that I had worked on this video for almost a month and released it just two days after Cosmodore uploaded his (which I loved by the way!). I honestly wish I could of written, recorded, and edited a video like this in less than two days but alas, it takes me forever to do anything. Its an honest and spooky case of parallel creation. With that out of the way, thanks for watching my video! I hope you enjoyed it. I figured I’d upload something more fun and light hearted for the beginning of summer. It took me longer to make than I originally intended and to make a long story short, that’s because I’m currently undergoing a major change in my lifestyle that is very intensive and time consuming which has and unfortunately will continue to add delays to the upload schedule but I promise it’s temporary and that uploads will be consistent and frequent once things are back on track. I can’t tell you how excited I am for the next video, it’ll be a great one. Anyway, have you seen Rango? If so, what did you think? If not, go watch it, it’s amazing!
When I first saw Rango, I was about 8 or 9, and it wasn't until just last year that I watched it again with my family and realized, "Holy cow this is an awesome movie." Thanks for making such a great video about it. By the way, love your playlists on Spotify. I've found so many amazing Christian and secular songs through you, it's led me to discovering great music. Wish you well with your UA-cam channel, I'm excited to see your next video.
I am wondering of what lifestyle change your are referring to and I would like to ask (but I believe because you did not go into detail about you want to keep personal
The creature animation, the light and atmospheric effects, the physics, everything was superlative. The more you watch the movie the more you notice. Multiple viewings don't reveal flaws, they just make the movie more awesome.
That's what I find so incredible, the animation, 3d character creation, has aged very well. They took their time and put the money into it. It's too bad that this film will never get a sequel. Speaking of films that should get a sequel but never will, The Owls of Ga'Hool series should be re-explored.
I love the fear rattlesnake jake has towards eagles. It makes him feel more like a person or(snake) and gives him more personality rather than a stone cold, fearless villain.
Plus the fact that in addition to playing along Rango's fake identity at first to break it, he got caught off guard when he came back to the town a different man yet in a sense lived up to the very legend he lied himself as, and of course after that, humbly gave Rango his respects before leaving the town himself. "I tip my hat to you, one legend to another"
What I also love about specifically Rango’s character is that despite how strange and ridiculous he is, there are many moments before his encounter with the spirit of the west where he proves he is a hero already. He was putting pieces together of the water mystery as well as the idea of following the pipes or putting out the torches to find the exit. His own self doubt and fear held him back but when it came to it, he was smart and truly came to respect the townspeople and really want to help them. I think that’s part of what sells the final encounter with rattle snake jake; he already had it in him, he just had to realize it’s not about him or how people viewed him, it’s about what needed to be done like you said.
What if i told you his whole story was simply him coming to term with his longing for a more eventful life before he dies? This movie is soooo layered its insane, a superb allegory Crossing the road to get where life is sweet after a whole life of fights... ain't that paradise?
@@shlucky7851 tons of films win Oscar's and praise without the general public knowing or really caring about it. Look at Bladerunner. Hollywood thought that due to all praise it got over the years the general public would want to watch a long awaited sequel... it flopped almost as bad as the original.
@@lordcthulhu1609 Blade Runner 2049 actually tanked significantly worse than the original did; the original only just recouped its expenses upon its initial release, but 2049 lost the studio around 80 million.
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.
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
Something that always got me, even as a kid, was the differing scales of the characters. Some animals depicted would be way larger than the others, but in the story are actually very small. For example, the wild boar blacksmith is the same size as all the other townsfolk, including a spider and a tortoise. Boars get pretty friggin big! But then there are characters who are truly massive, and they all tend to play critical parts in the story. The Armadillo, the Hawk, and Rattlesnake Jake. I wonder if there’s some symbolism to that.
that and some props were small (like their guns) while others were human scale (like the town clock being a pocket watch). It was odd but honestly I think the film is begging to be watched on shrooms or something.
Perhaps its the impact they had on Rango's story? Rattlesnake Jake and the Hawk were his most influential obstacles, while the Armadillo and even the Spirit of the West were his most influential guides. This is only the first thing that comes to mind. It could also be that they wanted the Hawk and Jake to be frighteningly bigger than Rango.
This movie is meta af Think about it, the premise is that of a lizard in an aquarium being transported trough life Plastic wife, fake skies, mundane day to day so much so he invents himself a life He is longing for something more to happen, for his glass bubbles to shatter (the truman show) As he wished it, it happens Is it in his mind or a true event? And heres where it gets me hard: Is it simply another one of his plays or did it really happens and it is about him coming to terms with all his fears, flaws, hopes and regrets? So i'd say that some things are important like time, foes, the fact he said he killed them brothers with one bullet but yet he defeated Jake with one too, but without even firing it There is so much The paradise at the end when he finaly crossed that road An allegory for paradise or finaly being free after having bountiful things kept away from him since birth? He is the working class stuck in the american dream who got transformed from fighting for his ideals, finding a community and helping it in adversity, etc... I have so many point of views on this movie and its why i find it fascinating In the end i read it as a classic: just be yourself and live the life you aspire to /don't lie to yourself and wait for the glass to break
@@enriquesaenz3574 I think the hawk represents something that Jake (symbolizing Death) even fears. Perhaps some kind of higher power akin to an angel or demigod.
David Riggs the way his eyes go from narrowed to wide in disbelief, his pupils changing and the fact you can see his face droop in terror makes this scene a permanent and perfect winner in my book
They revisit the theme of the “one bullet” a dozen times throughout the movie and it wraps up so beautifully when Rattlesnake Jake sees the bullet floating in the water and realizes Rango truly is a legend.
Earlier in the film when Rattlesnake Jake is calling out Rango as a wannabe and a phony, Jake puts his face right into Rango's gun and taunts him to shoot - Rango cant. Upon which, Jake exclaims, "You got killer in your eyes son? I don't see it." When Rango comes back after having his epiphany, Jake is once again staring into Rango's gun. Rango states, "It only takes one bullet." "You ain't got the nerve" replies Jake. "Try me." Jake saw killer in those eyes.
Rango is without a doubt the best animated film ever created and in my opinion one of the best westerns I’ve ever seen to this day! It’s animation, photography and just overall visual effects were way ahead of its time.
My favorite line in Rango is (you might find this weird): Mayor: "We're civilized now" Bad Bill: *"Yeah, civiloized"* in an Australian accent Cracks me up every time.
"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

I enjoyed Cars 1 the most. Cars 2 was just alright but I feel like it was out of place like a spin off more than anything. Cars 3 just straight up sucked.
I think rango was one of the first western style movie I watched. I was weirded out by it as a kid because of how different it was but I still absolutely loved it. And as an artist I love how much personality the world has. The concept art must’ve been so fun to work on. If there is a “art of” book for rango I could look at it forever.
as a kid many out there ideas and movies like rango can seem odd but as an adult learning the backstory of the film like how it possibly is just a fantasy dream world rango has created to be his purgatory in the afterlife in his head that we see and he perceived is real as he is actually possibly most likely but not definitively dead in reality is brilliant ways to look at this as a 22 year old and realize I can only hope to create a medium this interesting and have its origins be that unique...like to me it makes the film twice as good knowing that was most likely the idea behind the film existing even if the studio wont actually allow them to come out and say it its nice to think about and see the movie originally was made with that context even if it was sold as a kids film for merch sales and commercial appeal thats way deeper then a western parody you know what I mean?..its deeper than that...thats why its so abstract and thus good cause the original idea wasn't just simple to make a kids movie and make money..that would of ruined the film if they just wanted a funny kids western....the amount of effort put into the movie overall proves there was more motivation behind the film then just lets make a kids film ...it has to be more than that which is why they handled it with such care...thats what art is about..thats how we get modern masterpieces like rango and not crap all the time like norm of the north...you get it?..theres effort put into the idea of the actual point of the film not just what message music and scenes and voices can we jam into the film..when its just a paycheck made by a studio with no soul who don't want to put effort into crafting its story you feel it..when its art you also feel it...rango was a legit idea and passion project with real love put into its creation because of what most likely it wanted to be about even if it didnt come out and say it is about this it has that as its backing for us to decide if its true or not and thats cool to leave us ambiguous as well ...thats the media at its best when it gives you 2 solutions and neither may be wrong or right...you decide...we wont be given the answers...I love that
@@lucidzed5608 same age but while I understood the story, the symbolism in the movie that I reencountered in this vid, I didn't understand at the time. On my second viewing at an older age I was able to spot. The idea is Rango isn't just a shitty dime a dozen animated movie, but stands out with deeper meanings and a different graphical style. A more mature animated movie that was sold for kids
I'm so happy that this masterpiece won Best Animated Feature at the Oscars. One of the greatest decisions made by The Academy especially in the animation category
When it came out I didn't watch it much because I thought it was meh but now I realize what a masterpiece it is and I watch it quite often. Edit also I love that they rename the town from dirt to mud also you con only see this scene if you watch the extended version on DVD

@@TheStitchwraith1970 But we can't argue the fact that some old school Nickelodeon cartoons were terrifyingly, asymmetrically and *UNIQUELY* designed (in a good way) .. like Rugrats, Ren and Stimpy, Rockos Modern Life, Invader Zim and a bunch of other cartoons I forgot the title of 😂
Knowing Nickelodeons pre-Spongebob shows it makes a lot of sense. Edit: (With that I ment anything made by Klasky Csupo, Inc.) The woman in the movie has facial similarities with the main girl in "Rocket power".
Yeah it's really nice there's no tedious scene where everyone is like 'you LIED to us!! Mean!" But instead it shows the people reject him but when he comes back and saves them it's forgiven for a good reason, unlike on other films where at the end it's like "yep it's the conclusion time for everyone to be friends!"
I watched this movie again recently best interaction in the whole movie "I think they thespians." "Thespians! That's illegal in seven states." The humour in this movie was something else
Basically, the blind mole thought he said "lesbian" which sounds like "thespian" and I'm not totally sure but I've seen other people say that homosexuality to some degree had not been legalized in seven states when the movie was released.
Blue Shard agreed, such a cool fucking line. It could almost be interpreted as a hint to Jack’s upbringing. Perhaps he had an abusive childhood that had been a hell and he ended up turning to the life of an outlaw?
@@thegladiator6449 Rattlesnakes are born live cuz the eggs hatch inside the mother, and then most babies don't survive to adulthood cuz of starvation or being eaten by birds.. So yeah, Jake probably faced some form of hell by surviving all on his own without anyone helping him.
It's incredible dialogue considering how it reflects what Rango says to the people when telling them who he is: "You might say I'm everywhere there's trouble brewing and hell waiting to be raised. You might say I'm what hell's already raised up."
This came out during Pixar's worst year and Dreamworks' best year, so it's even more amazing to see an underdog like this nab all the big awards, including the Oscar.
I say that 2010 is the best year for DreamWorks for they ended their most profitable and most popular franchise shrek with shrek forever after, started what's considered the best and most respected franchise by DreamWorks, how to train your dragon, i made a underrated classic that would go on to be a cult classic and one of DreamWorks best films, megamind
The combination of Gore Verbinski, Billy Nighy, Johnny Depp, and Hans Zimmer is unbeatable. Just ask the first three Pirates of the Carribean movies, directed by Gore Verbinski, scored by Hans Zimmer, and starring Johnny Depp and Bill Nighy.
I wonder how the Pirates crew got the idea of making an animated movie. Like one of them would say “hey I’m bored, let’s compete with Pixar and Dreamworks”, and made up straight masterpiece lol
I finally got around to watching it tonight and holy shit is it one of my favorite animated films. I love when filmmakers take FULL advantage of their setting like this
My dad has never been a fan of animated movies. However, he really loved Rango. The fact that there was an animated movie that my dad enjoyed intrigued me so much and made me appreciate how good it is.
I love how Rango and Jake both tipped their hats to eachother signifying “mutual respect.” Probably came to this party late, but I found this movie on Netflix just yesterday in 2021 and enjoyed it immensely. Edit: Wow, thank you for the likes! I tip my hat to all of you friends.
The Netflix Rango (as well as the one that channels like Fox present) is a version that actually misses some scenes that where originally included in the theater version of the movie, such as the final scene where everyone is swimming in a new lake created by the explosive water fountains in the town (where the cropped version of the movie ends) and later has rango riding a roadrunner in the sunset while "lecturing" the audience... that's why i love my Rango DVD which is the actual movie with all its scenes (extended version)🗿 (As you might have already noticed Rango is my favorite movie 😂)
"No man can walk out on his own story." This has got to be my favorite line in the whole movie. It's simple and yet conveys such a deeper meaning. God damn, I love this movie.
I've actually met, I think, the director of Rango! Rather interesting, he showed a bunch of slides of original sketches and shook my hand. Pretty cool!
Also, do u know the director of Rango, Which is Gore Verbinski, also directed the masterpiece Pirates of The Caribbean franchise, At least the first 3 films of POTC
Me, who loves Rango, and loved it WAY before I watched the video: *SCRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
"Now... we ride!" *epic riding scene* "Where are we going?" "What?" "Where are we going?" "..." My favorite scene in this masterpiece. Gets me every single time xD
On the subject of brilliant cinematography: The lighting. The lighting was so good. Most CGI films glaze over lighting effects where, especially in the final scene, you can see the animators took their time ensuring that, with all the mist in the air, you could see the prismatic effects of the lighting. It is phenomenal.
I was around 10-12 yrs old when I saw this, and I swear I understood nothing. I was strong on English and it's my 2nd language, but I swear I understood nothing especially since there were no subtitles. Now I'm 20 and I perfectly understood everything. The lines, the references, the metaphors. It's amazing that Rango might be a kid's movie, but underneath the animation and cartoony appearance, I think that it's meant for young adults who search for their true identity.
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.
IKR SAME when I was a kid I was used to the bright colored animal talking movies so I got bored of it but I realized how better it is in comparison now
I remember watching this movie in a completely empty cinema as a child. I was 7 or 8 and the journey of finding ones identity with all the fails along the way really influenced me. I love this movie and I'm very thankful for the memories that video gave me ❤
@@SH-pi9rv ikr I used to binge watch this as a little kid every day until they removed it from Netflix in my country......my parents were very relieved.
Psychotic_ husky4 haha, I had it on disk and my mom’s car had a movie player. They could never get rid of it, only to have it gone when my older brothers decided to like something else
Not to mention, like you brought up with the owl turning his head around, or Rango not being able to camouflage, the film uses the fact that it's characters are animals in unique ways that add to who the characters are and what role they are able to play in the story. Sometimes in anthropomorphic animal films these days, the narrative forgets that it's dealing with animals and writes all the characters like they are humans. To the point where you could replace the animal cast with a human cast and still have the same story (case and point, "Sing"). Don't get me wrong, I love the movie Zootopia, and I found its narrative of using predator and prey to symbolize racial inequality, and foxes and rabbits to symbolize societal stereotypes, to be a really clever tactic for the film's thematic storytelling. I just wish that film gave us more scenes like the one where Judy is using her bunny athleticism to give out parking tickets. It's great when you can see the writers playing around with the idea of "how would this animal use their natural talents to solve this problem?" That same question about animal characteristics being used to shape the characters, their actions, and how they go through situations, is a big part of the movie Rango. Which is another reason why that movie is so great. I just wished more filmmakers utilized that same potention when writing for their "talking animal" movies.
a year earlier guardians of ga'hoole came out to the same reaction..amazing films no one talked about?..really?...their like epic kids films...I like kung fu panda and toy story 3 too but like while those films deserve praise a lot of shit films got way more attention at that time and it makes me sad cause when films have actual effort put into them I want them to make money...it shouldn't pay to be lazy and cost someone money to make the best product they can for real fans to enjoy even if a lot of people dont notice..i notice...
I was already a big fan of Wolves of the Beyond when that movie came out, at that point I didn't even know about the series before Faolan. Loved that movie when I watched it, though I think it got a lot of just criticism about trying to cram a bunch of books into one. If Marvel and Harry Potter taught us anything, ridiculously long series of movies are seriously profitable. Also WTF I CLICK ON A VIDEO ABOUT MY FAVORITE KIDS MOVIE AND I'M RANTING ABOUT MY FAVORITE BOOK SERIES WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!
@@razkable For a kids film it is pretty good. However, the writing, character designs and world-building seems way too cliche and generic for teens and adults to enjoy. Love the animation tho.
Has to be one of my favorite movies ever made. And it couldn't be done in live action either, the way the movie takes advantage of the animation medium is insanely creative
I’ve been saying for years that Rango is a cinematic masterpiece. It’s one of my favorite animated movies, and one of my favorite movies overall, and I always felt it was underappreciated.
I think most people are turned off at this because it's not really a film for kids. I watched this back when I'm still young and being stupid that I am I don't get what's happening most of the time. And the setting at first look is kinda bland, combined that with the dull look compared to other animated films which is full of color. But as I get older, I'm starting to appreciate it more. I won't go in detail on why because I'm not entirely sure but this film is getting good as the years passed. Maybe it's because we rarely see mature animated films anymore?
So uhm, random story, I used to have a Mcdonalds Rango toy and never knew the name of the movie, one day I found it again and would go to Google everyday for a month and search "chameleon with a shirt." I thought I would never find it, until now. It's been 13 years.
You have a Great eye for artful filmmaking. You are 100% correct about Rango being a masterpiece. I re-watch this Gem at least once a year and it is part of my all-time favourites since it was released. Thanks for this superb review Josh!
I think the problem with most "talking animal" movies is that they don't use the genre in any way. Most of these movies can have every character replaced with humans and it won't make much of a difference. Zootopia wouldn't really work in its story or spectacle with humans. Rango would probably be the same in its story, but the use of animals gives some really interesting imagery with things like the pipe that Rango first takes shelter in, everyone lining up in front of the water pump, or all of the water being stored in bottles.
While I do agree to some extend, Zootopias story does work without the animal part. Sure, it's a huge part of the aesthetic, but that's visual...the story itself is essentially a fish out of water, racism and prejudice story if tweaked, can and I think has been told with humans before. Just replace feralism with some sort of drug induced rage and predators with some sort of racial analog and you are golden. Sort of the same with Rango. What story doesn't work would be things like animals of farthing wood, Plague Dogs, secret of NIHM or Felidae, as the characters being animals is a huge point of the plot in the first place.
Rango is a well done satire of traditional west movies, so it works because they didnt want to use talking animals just to be cute, but to change the dynamics and show another side of both genres
“You, uh, got something in your eye there.” “Oh that? That there’s conjunctivitis sir. It’s hereditary.” “Oh, well I’m glad to hear it’s not contagious.”
I noticed that you mentioned the unique look of the action scenes in this animated film. It's because it is unique. The reason the action looks so good is because industrial light and magic made this. It is their only feature length animation film. Normally they do special affects for major block busters.

Gore Verbinski does not know how to make a bad looking film.
Cool profile pic
These days? Have you seen Toy Story 4 yet? In 2011 I think.
Still does
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.
Coast Guard is for me
"Who are you? And what do you want?"
OFF pfp, oh my gosh! :D
realest thing i ever read. if u still haven’t found yourself you are RANGO
You have no idea what you're talking about. 🤓
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
Holy shit that's neat
I noticed that
I think that was pretty obvious.
@@ffffffff5500 Well, everyone has their own perspective. A fact that might be obvious as breathing to you could be a revelation to somebody else.
yoo I had the exact same thought
We can’t deny that the animation of rango was way ahead of it’s time.
What are you saying?
I wouldn't say so, considering avatar released in 2009. The art direction, though, maybe could be considered ahead of its time
Dunno if it was, but the way they fucking animated that snake??? Genius
Spoons is the best animal character in any movie of its kind.
Still holds up today imo
“It only takes one bullet”
“You ain’t got the guts”
“Try me”
DUN DUN!

Something that always got me, even as a kid, was the differing scales of the characters. Some animals depicted would be way larger than the others, but in the story are actually very small. For example, the wild boar blacksmith is the same size as all the other townsfolk, including a spider and a tortoise. Boars get pretty friggin big! But then there are characters who are truly massive, and they all tend to play critical parts in the story. The Armadillo, the Hawk, and Rattlesnake Jake. I wonder if there’s some symbolism to that.
that and some props were small (like their guns) while others were human scale (like the town clock being a pocket watch). It was odd but honestly I think the film is begging to be watched on shrooms or something.
Perhaps its the impact they had on Rango's story? Rattlesnake Jake and the Hawk were his most influential obstacles, while the Armadillo and even the Spirit of the West were his most influential guides. This is only the first thing that comes to mind. It could also be that they wanted the Hawk and Jake to be frighteningly bigger than Rango.
This movie is meta af
Think about it, the premise is that of a lizard in an aquarium being transported trough life
Plastic wife, fake skies, mundane day to day so much so he invents himself a life
He is longing for something more to happen, for his glass bubbles to shatter (the truman show)
As he wished it, it happens
Is it in his mind or a true event?
And heres where it gets me hard:
Is it simply another one of his plays or did it really happens and it is about him coming to terms with all his fears, flaws, hopes and regrets?
So i'd say that some things are important like time, foes, the fact he said he killed them brothers with one bullet but yet he defeated Jake with one too, but without even firing it
There is so much
The paradise at the end when he finaly crossed that road
An allegory for paradise or finaly being free after having bountiful things kept away from him since birth?
He is the working class stuck in the american dream who got transformed from fighting for his ideals, finding a community and helping it in adversity, etc...
I have so many point of views on this movie and its why i find it fascinating
In the end i read it as a classic: just be yourself and live the life you aspire to
/don't lie to yourself and wait for the glass to break
@@enriquesaenz3574 I think the hawk represents something that Jake (symbolizing Death) even fears. Perhaps some kind of higher power akin to an angel or demigod.
“It only takes one bullet.”
“You ain’t got the nerve.”
“...Try me.”
The movie was already golden but those lines are legendary.
At that moment you could tell Jake was just "Holy fuck, this dude's serious!"
David Riggs the way his eyes go from narrowed to wide in disbelief, his pupils changing and the fact you can see his face droop in terror makes this scene a permanent and perfect winner in my book
They revisit the theme of the “one bullet” a dozen times throughout the movie and it wraps up so beautifully when Rattlesnake Jake sees the bullet floating in the water and realizes Rango truly is a legend.
Its like the fantastic mr fox of western
Earlier in the film when Rattlesnake Jake is calling out Rango as a wannabe and a phony, Jake puts his face right into Rango's gun and taunts him to shoot - Rango cant. Upon which, Jake exclaims, "You got killer in your eyes son? I don't see it." When Rango comes back after having his epiphany, Jake is once again staring into Rango's gun.
Rango states, "It only takes one bullet."
"You ain't got the nerve" replies Jake.
"Try me."
Jake saw killer in those eyes.

Rango is without a doubt the best animated film ever created and in my opinion one of the best westerns I’ve ever seen to this day!
It’s animation, photography and just overall visual effects were way ahead of its time.
It's one of my favorite westerns for sure, and I love me some westerns.

That is a scary line but I guess you might be right maybe. :)
If this movie didn't win the Oscar that year I was gonna be pissed. So, so glad it did. A forgotten masterpiece.
I was so sure I was the only one who thought that toad single-handedly reloading his rifle is one of the most epic things ever put to screen.
It was,he was single handle reloading a lever action shotgun
Rango had so many epic scenes its one of my all time greatest movies
It was a nice reference to The Rifleman, Lucas McCain. Its also a glorious sequence.
firing at mole people on bats while hanging off the side of a wagon!!!
It is. It is most likely an homage to True Grit (1969). Terminator 2 used it too. ua-cam.com/video/E8OsYE8kiqg/v-deo.html
I also love how the gang of owls kept on saying throughout the movie that Rango was going to die, but he didn’t
_He did,_ but not on camera
Whatabout the other side of the highway?
@@themadkraken1912 He fainted, that's it.
He meant what he said at the end, everyone is going to die. Even rango

Must've been pretty humilliating for Pixar to release Cars 2 in the same year as this gem, and lose the Oscar to it.
I think rio came out or kung fu panda 2
Cars 2 was a fucking embarrassment
Cars 2 was ight to me I hated the original
Moltenlava perfect explanation
I enjoyed Cars 1 the most. Cars 2 was just alright but I feel like it was out of place like a spin off more than anything. Cars 3 just straight up sucked.
I think rango was one of the first western style movie I watched. I was weirded out by it as a kid because of how different it was but I still absolutely loved it. And as an artist I love how much personality the world has. The concept art must’ve been so fun to work on. If there is a “art of” book for rango I could look at it forever.
Ok, as a kid, Rango was just weird, but now I love it, lol.
as a kid many out there ideas and movies like rango can seem odd but as an adult learning the backstory of the film like how it possibly is just a fantasy dream world rango has created to be his purgatory in the afterlife in his head that we see and he perceived is real as he is actually possibly most likely but not definitively dead in reality is brilliant ways to look at this as a 22 year old and realize I can only hope to create a medium this interesting and have its origins be that unique...like to me it makes the film twice as good knowing that was most likely the idea behind the film existing even if the studio wont actually allow them to come out and say it its nice to think about and see the movie originally was made with that context even if it was sold as a kids film for merch sales and commercial appeal thats way deeper then a western parody you know what I mean?..its deeper than that...thats why its so abstract and thus good cause the original idea wasn't just simple to make a kids movie and make money..that would of ruined the film if they just wanted a funny kids western....the amount of effort put into the movie overall proves there was more motivation behind the film then just lets make a kids film ...it has to be more than that which is why they handled it with such care...thats what art is about..thats how we get modern masterpieces like rango and not crap all the time like norm of the north...you get it?..theres effort put into the idea of the actual point of the film not just what message music and scenes and voices can we jam into the film..when its just a paycheck made by a studio with no soul who don't want to put effort into crafting its story you feel it..when its art you also feel it...rango was a legit idea and passion project with real love put into its creation because of what most likely it wanted to be about even if it didnt come out and say it is about this it has that as its backing for us to decide if its true or not and thats cool to leave us ambiguous as well ...thats the media at its best when it gives you 2 solutions and neither may be wrong or right...you decide...we wont be given the answers...I love that

The Netflix Rango (as well as the one that channels like Fox present) is a version that actually misses some scenes that where originally included in the theater version of the movie, such as the final scene where everyone is swimming in a new lake created by the explosive water fountains in the town (where the cropped version of the movie ends) and later has rango riding a roadrunner in the sunset while "lecturing" the audience... that's why i love my Rango DVD which is the actual movie with all its scenes (extended version)🗿 (As you might have already noticed Rango is my favorite movie 😂)

On the subject of brilliant cinematography:
The lighting. The lighting was so good. Most CGI films glaze over lighting effects where, especially in the final scene, you can see the animators took their time ensuring that, with all the mist in the air, you could see the prismatic effects of the lighting.
It is phenomenal.
I was around 10-12 yrs old when I saw this, and I swear I understood nothing. I was strong on English and it's my 2nd language, but I swear I understood nothing especially since there were no subtitles.
Now I'm 20 and I perfectly understood everything. The lines, the references, the metaphors. It's amazing that Rango might be a kid's movie, but underneath the animation and cartoony appearance, I think that it's meant for young adults who search for their true identity.
Lol its pg-13 now
yea this movie is enough to entertain kids but not enough for them to actually fully understand it.
Same happened to me, i understand nothing at the time, but i rewatched a couple of times years later and its really cool.
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.
Couldn't have said it better myself!
IKR SAME when I was a kid I was used to the bright colored animal talking movies so I got bored of it but I realized how better it is in comparison now
Idk but should I feel weird that when I was a kid, I liked 'ugly' characters more than the attractive ones until now?
: )
It's not ugly moron

Dude me too. Me and my parents watched this movie and i said that we wasted money. Man i suck when i was a kid
Was I the only person who loved this movie as a 5 year old?
@@SH-pi9rv ikr I used to binge watch this as a little kid every day until they removed it from Netflix in my country......my parents were very relieved.
Psychotic_ husky4 haha, I had it on disk and my mom’s car had a movie player. They could never get rid of it, only to have it gone when my older brothers decided to like something else
Not to mention, like you brought up with the owl turning his head around, or Rango not being able to camouflage, the film uses the fact that it's characters are animals in unique ways that add to who the characters are and what role they are able to play in the story. Sometimes in anthropomorphic animal films these days, the narrative forgets that it's dealing with animals and writes all the characters like they are humans. To the point where you could replace the animal cast with a human cast and still have the same story (case and point, "Sing").
Don't get me wrong, I love the movie Zootopia, and I found its narrative of using predator and prey to symbolize racial inequality, and foxes and rabbits to symbolize societal stereotypes, to be a really clever tactic for the film's thematic storytelling. I just wish that film gave us more scenes like the one where Judy is using her bunny athleticism to give out parking tickets. It's great when you can see the writers playing around with the idea of "how would this animal use their natural talents to solve this problem?"
That same question about animal characteristics being used to shape the characters, their actions, and how they go through situations, is a big part of the movie Rango. Which is another reason why that movie is so great.
I just wished more filmmakers utilized that same potention when writing for their "talking animal" movies.
Rango in 2011 being unique, funny and amazing:
2011 cinema: “Strangers don’t last long around here!”
a year earlier guardians of ga'hoole came out to the same reaction..amazing films no one talked about?..really?...their like epic kids films...I like kung fu panda and toy story 3 too but like while those films deserve praise a lot of shit films got way more attention at that time and it makes me sad cause when films have actual effort put into them I want them to make money...it shouldn't pay to be lazy and cost someone money to make the best product they can for real fans to enjoy even if a lot of people dont notice..i notice...
@@razkable
I remember Guardians of Ga'hoole.
That was a good movie.
I still think that Gylfie is the cutest thing I've ever seen on screen. xD
I was already a big fan of Wolves of the Beyond when that movie came out, at that point I didn't even know about the series before Faolan. Loved that movie when I watched it, though I think it got a lot of just criticism about trying to cram a bunch of books into one. If Marvel and Harry Potter taught us anything, ridiculously long series of movies are seriously profitable.
Also WTF I CLICK ON A VIDEO ABOUT MY FAVORITE KIDS MOVIE AND I'M RANTING ABOUT MY FAVORITE BOOK SERIES WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!
@@razkable gahoole was ok but the character designs sucked, didn't stand out enough, it was owl #1, owl #2 and so on
@@razkable For a kids film it is pretty good. However, the writing, character designs and world-building seems way too cliche and generic for teens and adults to enjoy. Love the animation tho.

Lads, don't be so defensive.
Has to be one of my favorite movies ever made. And it couldn't be done in live action either, the way the movie takes advantage of the animation medium is insanely creative
I’ve been saying for years that Rango is a cinematic masterpiece. It’s one of my favorite animated movies, and one of my favorite movies overall, and I always felt it was underappreciated.
At least it won a well deserved Oscar...
Ain't the only one. I have been telling this to ppl I know personally too.
I've been saying this since day 1 to every person I know
I think most people are turned off at this because it's not really a film for kids. I watched this back when I'm still young and being stupid that I am I don't get what's happening most of the time. And the setting at first look is kinda bland, combined that with the dull look compared to other animated films which is full of color. But as I get older, I'm starting to appreciate it more. I won't go in detail on why because I'm not entirely sure but this film is getting good as the years passed. Maybe it's because we rarely see mature animated films anymore?
This movie is not underrated nor is it a hidden gem. It's always been popular and always been good. Hidden gems don't win Oscars.
So uhm, random story, I used to have a Mcdonalds Rango toy and never knew the name of the movie, one day I found it again and would go to Google everyday for a month and search "chameleon with a shirt." I thought I would never find it, until now. It's been 13 years.
Dang thats crazy. The dopamine when you found it
Make that 100 years, pal. 0_0

Cherry on top: the director of Rango is the director of the Pirates movies
I tip my hat for you one legend to another
You have a Great eye for artful filmmaking. You are 100% correct about Rango being a masterpiece. I re-watch this Gem at least once a year and it is part of my all-time favourites since it was released. Thanks for this superb review Josh!
I think the problem with most "talking animal" movies is that they don't use the genre in any way. Most of these movies can have every character replaced with humans and it won't make much of a difference. Zootopia wouldn't really work in its story or spectacle with humans. Rango would probably be the same in its story, but the use of animals gives some really interesting imagery with things like the pipe that Rango first takes shelter in, everyone lining up in front of the water pump, or all of the water being stored in bottles.
While I do agree to some extend, Zootopias story does work without the animal part. Sure, it's a huge part of the aesthetic, but that's visual...the story itself is essentially a fish out of water, racism and prejudice story if tweaked, can and I think has been told with humans before. Just replace feralism with some sort of drug induced rage and predators with some sort of racial analog and you are golden.
Sort of the same with Rango.
What story doesn't work would be things like animals of farthing wood, Plague Dogs, secret of NIHM or Felidae, as the characters being animals is a huge point of the plot in the first place.
zootopia would 100% work with humans, the main conflict is supposed to be a metaphor for racism, something that ain't difficult to achieve
Rango is a well done satire of traditional west movies, so it works because they didnt want to use talking animals just to be cute, but to change the dynamics and show another side of both genres
Beastars.
imagine humans in this movie uttering the line at 7:45
“You, uh, got something in your eye there.”
“Oh that? That there’s conjunctivitis sir. It’s hereditary.”
“Oh, well I’m glad to hear it’s not contagious.”
"Are those real?"
*rango smacks himself with the dolls hand*
That is actually pretty smooth, removes the awkwardness
The thing is, conjunctivitis is contagious

I noticed that you mentioned the unique look of the action scenes in this animated film. It's because it is unique. The reason the action looks so good is because industrial light and magic made this. It is their only feature length animation film. Normally they do special affects for major block busters.
My dad hates animated shows but he was amazed when he watched this, truly a masterpiece
Same. My dad grew up watching westerns, so when we watched this he was thrilled
He loves this and red dead redemption
Why did he hate animation may I ask?
So that explains why Sokka got all woozy when drinking cactus juice....
they are both made by Nickelodeon, soooooooo...
