5 minutes into Rango: haha funny lizard
The rest of Rango: oh my god this is the best movie I've ever seen in my life
#rango#rango (2011)#they really baited audiences in the marketing lmao they were like 'look another funny animal movie for the kids'#and then once you were in the theater they were like 'surprise! we're actually showing you the best damn western you'll ever see'#11 year old me was just dazzled by the use of desert fauna that i as an animal nerd knew everything there was to know about#but when i came back to it as an adult i was blown AWAY by how much effort they put into this thing and how well it still holds up#legitimately. this movie has some of my favorite 3d animation I've ever seen. it's up there with spider-verse for me#the little details! the character design going as hard as it can on even minor background folks with no lines!?#every character in a given shot reacting separately to what's going on?????#THE WATER. THE FUCKING WATER EFFECTS. these were 2011 effects and they look REAL#THE REFLECTION OF THE WATER ON JAKE'S SCALES IN THE FINAL SHOWDOWN GETS ME EVERY TIME#THAT SHIT LOOKS REAL#and don't even get me STARTED on the soundtrack. holy shit. the credits theme alone kicks so much ass#i desperately want other people to get why i love this movie so much. please 🙏#i also desperately wish there was more of this universe out there besides just the movie and a tie-in game#like. this universe would be PERFECT for a show. my idea was for a baddie-of-the-week episodic format#or an episodic format that tells various stories that *supposedly* happened in the universe#keeping with the theme of legends and myths of the west from the movie#and that could expand on the characters we met in the movie but also provide new faces and give names and stories to background ones
