Rango is a
pet chameleon always on the lookout for action and adventure, except the fake
kind, where he directs it and acts in it. After a car accident, he winds up in
an old western town called Dirt. What this town needs the most is water, but
they also need a hero and a sheriff. The thirsty Rango instantly takes on the
role of both and selfishly agrees to take on the case of their missing water.
You’ve got
to love London Tube’s ads of the movies. During the year, all the movies that
were advertised in the underground were great – think Drive, Tinker Tailor
Soldier Spy, Hugo, Artist. It may be that good movies have impressive budgets
and can afford buying the space underground, or it may be that the Tube workers
are actually critics who choose the film adverts on the merit of the film.
Whatever the reasoning, Rango was advertised quite a while ago, and yes, in my
opinion it is the best animation of 2011.
