many in-gags done very well: we see Hunter s. Thompson in a cadillac as he's thrown from windshield to windhsied
Clint Eastwood the name is not mentioned, but there he is in flesh and pixels, voiced by Timothy Olyphant as The Spirit of the West (what else?!)
rANGO "They used to call YOU the man with no name"... becuse Rango is searching for his identity - that's why he's a nakactor, inhabiting other peoples' moreinteresting lives, until he dfinds he has to make adecision and lead his own.

Olyphant is clint Eastwood - see/??!!! I've always said that guy was super cool!

spirit of the west -50 years ago it would lhave been John Wayne or Gene Autry. If there is any more prof we need that Eastwood has replaced all those other guys as THE Spirit of the west, this is it.

Rango goes back into town with a serape looking like Fistful. He crets s rise - sees Vegas (we shuld have guessed - that's where Hunter was going!)

the naticve ameircan is a big blas Crow - get it? As in geronimo - NMAE FAMOUS CROW GUY
wanders into wester county and finds opportunity to reinvent himself - thats what it's about - a beautifuly written self-realization tale


in mojave desert
crooked neck asymettrical head
he's a chameleon -
the creatures and surroundings and culture is wonderfully realized and visualzed
characterization - expressionsno their faces, amazing


theexican owls fulfil the role of the Greek Chorsu, standing outside the tale and narrating through song

try and imagine flight of the valkyries on banjo! - awesome well put together - redneck moles on bats chasing them. tiny firearms - they are tiny deset animals, yet they have tiny firearms


imdb plot:
Rango is an ordinary chameleon who accidentally winds up in the town of Dirt, a lawless outpost in the Wild West in desperate need of a new sheriff.
