Rango is a Peak Western

Thanks for getting another video to 1,000 views, everybody! I tip my hat to you all!

Someone said "Before there was Death from Puss in Boots, there was Rattlesnake jake" and I 100% agree

Rattle snake jake is a peak villian

I want to point out something about the last part of the movie that I noticed in my most recent watch. Right before Rattlesnake Jake shows up, Rango says something to the effect of: "As long as that sign still hangs there," referring to the sign outside the sheriff's office, "we still have hope." Not a few seconds later, Jake shoots the sign and breaks one of the chains holding it up. The sign still stands even though it has quite a few new holes blown through it, showing that there is still hope for the town and for Rango.

I figured out the weird ridges in Jake’s gun! HIS MINIGUN IS JUST STACKED REVOLVER DRUMS

I like the parallels between Rango. From how he looks in the climax to us not knowing his actual name and just calling him by a name he made up on the fly, he decided to pretend to be Rango, and in the climax he became rango

"Try me" still gives me goosebumps

This movie released when I was 14. It is the reason that TO THIS DAY the western is my favorite genre of story. It’s phenomenal.

I agree with you, but I think the most photorealistic character is the red tail hawk, not Jake. Which makes sense since it is the only thing that Jake's afraid of.

Rango is definitely on of my favorite animated films and definitely shows the Oscar’s that it is a medium for story telling not just for kids cuz rango straight try’s to kill himself in the scene before he meets the spirt of the west

"I tip my hat to you, one legend to another." That line still gets me, so many years later.

"No man can walk out of his own story." ABSOLUTE CINEMA 🙌

Jake with a scale-color version of Lee Van Cleef's moustache..... The movie is an absolute joy, and watching it with your children is a real opportunity to discuss society and our roles within it.

Such a genius idea to make him a chameleon, works on so many levels. Great vid again bro!

That “Try me” is so cold man he’s ready to throw down

A little similarity I noticed between Rango and Jake: after the "Try me" Jake is stunned by how much someone he considered insignificant changed in so short a time, and over the last few minutes of the movie he goes from thinking Rango is insignificant, to someone that got the jump on him with some friends, to a fellow legend in his own right. They both quickly respond to the big changes in the world around them caused by each other.

I too can simply agree that while this movie has it's own, unique style, it's also a solid western film with everything important included. But what I love most about it is the joy the actors had when filming.

The banjo coming in out of nowhere for Ride of the Valkyries always sends chills down my spine.

This masterpiece of film is a lot like an old movie from the 80's that was called "The Three Amigos". It is about three actors, who are played by Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, and Martin Short who get drafted out of Hollywood and disguise themselves as heroes of the west. I recommend watching it as it represents the message Rango tries to tell.

"It's not about YOU... It's about THEM..." It might sound funny, but this is the movie more than any other that drilled that sentiment into me, and it's why i rewatch it every so often.
