This story follows the tale of Rango/Lars, a lonely lizard traveling with his owners through the west. Through an accident he finds himself in a strange western town of Dirt. He is appointed as the town's sheriff during the time of a severe drought.

When I saw that this was produced by Nickeleodeon, I knew it was going to be unusual. I was right. It is a good family film to watch. It has moments of adult humour that would be lost on most young children, and has plenty of humour for young audiences. Gore Verbinski did a great job directing this animated film, and found a great cast for this film. I think he has a niche for these types of family friendly films. It is predictable, but what family film isn't anymore.

Johnny Depp does a great job in the role of Rango. He creates an usual character who is in desperate need of an adventure. Isla Fisher does great in the role of Beans. She creates a character that is easily likable, and fun to watch. Abigail Breslin is entertaining as Priscilla, the little girl who believes that he's going to die. Ned Beatty does great vocal work for animated villains-as he has shown before. His voice is slightly intimidating without being too frightening. Bill Nighy is great as the fearsome Rattlesnake Jake. The character might frighten some younger audiences, but he does great in the role.

The beginning is a bit random, but I enjoyed how they included humans as a factor for the conclusion. It brings into mind the old west versus the progress of time. The animation was well done, and the voice acting was well performed. The spirit of the West was funny-a hint: "Do you feel lucky. Well, do ya punk?"It's interesting watching old style western films making appearances in current Hollywood films. This film makes reference to those old western films-that some audience's can catch if they know their films.

I give this film a 10 out of 10 stars! Apart from those moments of random what-is-going-on, it's a great film. It's got family friendly humour without ignoring the adult audience's. It is predictable, but its fun to watch.
