Even more interesting though is that his name is not Rango. Rango himself upon first meet is absolutely NOT a hero. Which was a real bonus for me in terms of animated films as they do tend to get predictable, despite how well they are told. Not too dissimilar to the rooster in Disney's classic Robin Hood they help guide the story along and in doing so also keep you guessing. If you have seen the trailer you will have noticed the singing mariachi owls, who tunefully break down the forth wall to open the film. When he discovers the towns water supply is almost run dry he searches for answers along side the townsfolk, all of whom believe Rango to be their Saviour. His wishes are granted when he stumbles into the western town of 'Dirt' and takes over the vacant role of Sheriff. So, the story is that a chameleon, with acting ambitions, longs for social interaction outside of his lonely environment. The trailers had almost completely left out any kind of plot hint, which i now realise was a very good decision. Thats why its so interesting! I had eagerly awaited the arrival of Rango, not only as a western fan but also as an admirer of Gore Verbinski and the inclusion of Johnny Depp has yet to be a bad thing. yes it is a play on the classic Western Django.
