Rango [2011]
Rango has been tremendously mis-marketed. Not that I mind, but I really can’t see anyone under the age of 16 enjoying this. Its plot is much more intricate than the average animated movie and, I wish I was exaggerating, but nearly every character is so ugly that they’re nearly unwatchable. The animation department makes up for those eyesores with a beautiful desert landscape. Biggest achievement: the voice actors are excellent, especially Johnny Depp, Abigail Breslin and Bill Nighy. As a film buff, I found spotting the film references and nods to Chinatown fun but, in the end, I just wasn’t charmed by the film, nor did it resonate with me.
Awww. I liked it..a lot actually. I guess this is your “Illusionist”…LOL

Yeah, it kinda is. Now all I need is a crazy guy berating me for not liking it 🙂

Did you mean anyone under the age of 6 or did you really mean to say 16? 16 sounds like an old age to start enjoying an animated film. I’ll try watching this this weekend, hopefully. If not, next weekend or the one after.

Yes, I meant 16. Maybe that’s a little old but what I tried to put across is that the average child or preteen wouldn’t enjoy the film’s mature themes, ugly creatures, elaborate setups and writing.
