Rango

anime

CGI parody of American-style westerns...especially the spaghetti westerns of Sergio Leone.

At first this seemed pretty juvenile but once the story kicked in it continually tickled me with references no child would ever understand. The visuals were wonderfully imaginative, characters so silly the sight of them made me chuckle, the scenario simply a twisted version of all those cliches that eventually buried the genre.

This was like an up-to-date Lemonade Joe...done by world-class talent. For me...pure entertainment.
