The animated film Rango has been praised for its level of detail and fun plot. In it, a chameleon stranded in the desert must investigate a mysterious drought affecting a town of reptiles. Johnny Depp voices the title character, teaming up again with director Gore Verbinski (the Pirates of the Caribbean series). The result is an ambitious project: large in scope, visually inventive and full of surprises for all, especially fans of Chinatown and Sergio Leone’s spaghetti westerns starring Clint Eastwood.

FUN FACT: Industrial Light and Magic’s animation division produced Rango.
