Rango
Director Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Carribbean) casts his leading pirate Johnny Depp in this stunningly animated spaghetti Western.
Depp provides the voice of Rango, a kooky pet chameleon who finds himself in the gritty, gun-slinging, lawless outpost of Dirt, where he's inadvertently appointed Sherriff and must uncover where the town's precious water supply has disappeared to.
Depp is joined by an impressive voice cast including Isla Fisher, Ned Beatty, Abigail Breslin, Alfred Molina, Bill Nighy, Ray Winstone and Timothy Olyphant.
"Rango is some kind of miracle. An animated comedy for smart moviegoers, wonderfully made, great to look at, wildly satirical and (gasp!) filmed in glorious 2D" - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Winner of Best Animated Film at this year's Academy Awards.
