So way back in 2011, when i was in my long lasting phase of not going to the cinema, Johnny Depp was in a animated film called Rango. Now those of you that are Johnny Depp fans will realise that Johnny Depp is in something like at least one film per year so at times it can be quite difficult to keep up with his films and watch them all. I think that this was made a year after Alice in Wonderland and Dark Shadows, so his slightly weird looking and general all-round weird performances were at their peak.
It's good to have children's films on the list for when Horror films and people dying all the time gets too much to bear. I have mostly grown accustom to hearing his Jack Sparrow voice, so this other accent was refreshing and ever reminding of his unquestionable acting talents.
At the start of his career he sorta landed some parts because he was good looking but now he has landed them on pure talent. The ability to change roles in every film is wonderful. Rango is no exception.
With this film i struggled at the start to work out the plot, I was very unsure of where they were going with it and who any of the characters were but after a while i kinda managed to work it out and really kick back and enjoy the film properly. The case presents it to be a really comical film but it wasn't. Yes, there were the odd moments of comedy but mostly it was just a wonderful child's film that was a pleasant way to spend the evening. Sometimes the greatest pleasure comes from watching children's films just because they have a great soundtrack and some kinda cheesy yet happy plots.
Although Depp is the star of the show and I have to admit that I really like him as a lizard, he is supported well by a whole bunch of people that we don't necessarily recognise the names of but we recognise the voice when we are watching it. People like Bill Nighy are wonderful in their role as Rattle Snakes. I was listening out for the Davy Jones accent and in the odd moments managed to find it but mostly I was really impressed by how well he managed to hold his accent without getting a part of any other notable previous accent in.
I guess the part that really sold me was the introduction by the singing animals with guitars and a very Mexican theme going on behind them. I love a great introduction to a film and as shown by films such as Hercules, sometimes it is all you need to get the audience to sit down and think positively about the film.
I wish that I had more children's films on this list because I love them!
