- Have westerns reached their creative potential or are we just repeatedly scratching the same surface of something with limitless creative possibilities? In this video essay, I take a look at the animated bizarre masterpiece "Rango" and how it brilliantly showed us that more can still be done with the tired genre.

Just wanted clarify since I've been getting a few comments saying that I copied Cosmodore's idea, that I had worked on this video for almost a month and released it just two days after Cosmodore uploaded his (which I loved by the way!). I honestly wish I could of written, recorded, and edited a video like this in less than two days but alas, it takes me forever to do anything. Its an honest and spooky case of parallel creation. With that out of the way, thanks for watching my video! I hope you enjoyed it. I figured I’d upload something more fun and light hearted for the beginning of summer. It took me longer to make than I originally intended and to make a long story short, that’s because I’m currently undergoing a major change in my lifestyle that is very intensive and time consuming which has and unfortunately will continue to add delays to the upload schedule but I promise it’s temporary and that uploads will be consistent and frequent once things are back on track. I can’t tell you how excited I am for the next video, it’ll be a great one. Anyway, have you seen Rango? If so, what did you think? If not, go watch it, it’s amazing!
When I first saw Rango, I was about 8 or 9, and it wasn't until just last year that I watched it again with my family and realized, "Holy cow this is an awesome movie." Thanks for making such a great video about it.
By the way, love your playlists on Spotify. I've found so many amazing Christian and secular songs through you, it's led me to discovering great music. Wish you well with your CZcams channel, I'm excited to see your next video.
I am wondering of what lifestyle change your are referring to and I would like to ask (but I believe because you did not go into detail about you want to keep personal
I thought it was well wrote and pretty funny, but man I love the animation.Other people need to make my movies using this style.
Thanks so much for taking in my suggestion!!
Good video but you should qualify what you say more. You say things without explaining thwm
“It only takes one bullet.”
“You ain’t got the nerve.”
“...Try me.”
The movie was already golden but those lines are legendary.
At that moment you could tell Jake was just "Holy fuck, this dude's serious!"
David Riggs the way his eyes go from narrowed to wide in disbelief, his pupils changing and the fact you can see his face droop in terror makes this scene a permanent and perfect winner in my book
They revisit the theme of the “one bullet” a dozen times throughout the movie and it wraps up so beautifully when Rattlesnake Jake sees the bullet floating in the water and realizes Rango truly is a legend.
Its like the fantastic mr fox of western
Earlier in the film when Rattlesnake Jake is calling out Rango as a wannabe and a phony, Jake puts his face right into Rango's gun and taunts him to shoot - Rango cant. Upon which, Jake exclaims, "You got killer in your eyes son? I don't see it." When Rango comes back after having his epiphany, Jake is once again staring into Rango's gun.
Rango states, "It only takes one bullet."
"You ain't got the nerve" replies Jake.
"Try me."
Jake saw killer in those eyes.
"GO TO HELL"
"Where do you think I come from?"
One of the best lines I've ever heard in a movie.
My favorite line in Rango is (you might find this weird):
Mayor: "We're civilized now"
Bad Bill: *"Yeah, civiloized"* in an Australian accent
Cracks me up every time.
General Grievous laughed reading it
i have made a short video on Rango

Where is this
That is a scary line but I guess you might be right maybe. :)
I remember being creeped out as a kid over the weirdness of this movie but only now do I truly understand what a unique masterpiece this was
I sure hope you weren’t weirded out by the suggestive innuendo in the film. LOL

Rango will always be a comfort film. As a person who is constantly struggling to find their own identity, Rango is such a relatable and fun character. "Who am I? I can be anyone." will always stick with me.
Coast Guard is for me
"Who are you? And what do you want?"
OFF pfp, oh my gosh! :D
realest thing i ever read. if u still haven’t found yourself you are RANGO
You have no idea what you're talking about. 🤓
Compared to animations these days Rango actually looked like next gen
Aw, man, Next Gen was badass too! Ca someone make a video on that, please?

What I also love about specifically Rango’s character is that despite how strange and ridiculous he is, there are many moments before his encounter with the spirit of the west where he proves he is a hero already. He was putting pieces together of the water mystery as well as the idea of following the pipes or putting out the torches to find the exit. His own self doubt and fear held him back but when it came to it, he was smart and truly came to respect the townspeople and really want to help them. I think that’s part of what sells the final encounter with rattle snake jake; he already had it in him, he just had to realize it’s not about him or how people viewed him, it’s about what needed to be done like you said.
So relatable i got a tear in my eye
What if i told you his whole story was simply him coming to term with his longing for a more eventful life before he dies?
This movie is soooo layered its insane, a superb allegory
Crossing the road to get where life is sweet after a whole life of fights... ain't that paradise?
I ain’t reading all that
@@Maria-zn5spbro spawned in a year later to say that
Cool fact: the entire movie was not motion capped it was animated using actual footage of the voice actors, they were told to act out the scenes.
I can only imagine when rattlesnake jakes performance looked like
yeah that's a common technique for animators to use. they look at footage of people acting out certain scenes or actions, and then animate based on that.

Something that always got me, even as a kid, was the differing scales of the characters. Some animals depicted would be way larger than the others, but in the story are actually very small. For example, the wild boar blacksmith is the same size as all the other townsfolk, including a spider and a tortoise. Boars get pretty friggin big! But then there are characters who are truly massive, and they all tend to play critical parts in the story. The Armadillo, the Hawk, and Rattlesnake Jake. I wonder if there’s some symbolism to that.
that and some props were small (like their guns) while others were human scale (like the town clock being a pocket watch). It was odd but honestly I think the film is begging to be watched on shrooms or something.
Perhaps its the impact they had on Rango's story? Rattlesnake Jake and the Hawk were his most influential obstacles, while the Armadillo and even the Spirit of the West were his most influential guides. This is only the first thing that comes to mind. It could also be that they wanted the Hawk and Jake to be frighteningly bigger than Rango.
This movie is meta af
Think about it, the premise is that of a lizard in an aquarium being transported trough life
Plastic wife, fake skies, mundane day to day so much so he invents himself a life
He is longing for something more to happen, for his glass bubbles to shatter (the truman show)
As he wished it, it happens
Is it in his mind or a true event?
And heres where it gets me hard:
Is it simply another one of his plays or did it really happens and it is about him coming to terms with all his fears, flaws, hopes and regrets?
So i'd say that some things are important like time, foes, the fact he said he killed them brothers with one bullet but yet he defeated Jake with one too, but without even firing it
There is so much
The paradise at the end when he finaly crossed that road
An allegory for paradise or finaly being free after having bountiful things kept away from him since birth?
He is the working class stuck in the american dream who got transformed from fighting for his ideals, finding a community and helping it in adversity, etc...
I have so many point of views on this movie and its why i find it fascinating
In the end i read it as a classic: just be yourself and live the life you aspire to
/don't lie to yourself and wait for the glass to break
@@enriquesaenz3574 I think the hawk represents something that Jake (symbolizing Death) even fears. Perhaps some kind of higher power akin to an angel or demigod.
Rango is without a doubt the best animated film ever created and in my opinion one of the best westerns I’ve ever seen to this day!
It’s animation, photography and just overall visual effects were way ahead of its time.
It's one of my favorite westerns for sure, and I love me some westerns.
Most surprising part about it is that it's a Nickelodeon movie
Knowing Nickelodeons pre-Spongebob
shows it makes a lot of sense.
Edit:
(With that I ment anything made by Klasky Csupo, Inc.)
The woman in the movie has facial similarities with the main girl in "Rocket power".

I think rango was one of the first western style movie I watched. I was weirded out by it as a kid because of how different it was but I still absolutely loved it. And as an artist I love how much personality the world has. The concept art must’ve been so fun to work on. If there is a “art of” book for rango I could look at it forever.
I'm so happy that this masterpiece won Best Animated Feature at the Oscars. One of the greatest decisions made by The Academy especially in the animation category

One of the best adult jokes ever.
This movie shows clearly that there's a big difference between a cartoon movie made simply to give family audiences some laughs on a Friday night at the cinema and an animated feature that is made with immense care and love and talent, a movie that you find yourself going back to again and again to enjoy with family members or friends because of its quality and timelessness.
The combination of Gore Verbinski, Billy Nighy, Johnny Depp, and Hans Zimmer is unbeatable.
Just ask the first three Pirates of the Carribean movies, directed by Gore Verbinski, scored by Hans Zimmer, and starring Johnny Depp and Bill Nighy.
I wonder how the Pirates crew got the idea of making an animated movie. Like one of them would say “hey I’m bored, let’s compete with Pixar and Dreamworks”, and made up straight masterpiece lol

I was surprised to see this is a Nickelodian movie. The designs have this interesting hyperrealistic animated style that I find incredibly impressive. It's like Happy Feet and Owls of Gatoohie levels of impressive. I think even more so actually

When rango said “Believe in that sign, for as it hangs, there is hope...” the sign got shot down by rattlesnake jake and even after that, it was still hanging. Lots of hidden messages in this movie is what I enjoy the most
Holy shit that's neat
I noticed that
I think that was pretty obvious.
@@ffffffff5500 Well, everyone has their own perspective. A fact that might be obvious as breathing to you could be a revelation to somebody else.

My dad has never been a fan of animated movies. However, he really loved Rango. The fact that there was an animated movie that my dad enjoyed intrigued me so much and made me appreciate how good it is.
"No man can walk out on his own story." That's the line that hit me the most. Doubly so because it came from clint eastwood. In his classic role as the iconic cowboy Outlaw hero The man with no name. Cause it's echoing how it was in the movies He did. The man with no name couldn't walk out on his own story as much as he wanted to.

Aww, you forgot the best line in the movie:
Beans- "Go to hell!"
Jake- "Where d'you think I come from?"
Blue Shard
agreed, such a cool fucking line. It could almost be interpreted as a hint to Jack’s upbringing. Perhaps he had an abusive childhood that had been a hell and he ended up turning to the life of an outlaw?
@@thegladiator6449 Rattlesnakes are born live cuz the eggs hatch inside the mother, and then most babies don't survive to adulthood cuz of starvation or being eaten by birds.. So yeah, Jake probably faced some form of hell by surviving all on his own without anyone helping him.
Or maybe it relates to him being symbolic of the grim reaper
It's incredible dialogue considering how it reflects what Rango says to the people when telling them who he is:
"You might say I'm everywhere there's trouble brewing and hell waiting to be raised. You might say I'm what hell's already raised up."
that sent a chill down my spine when i first watched it lol
I like how when trying to camouflage Rango couldnt and only made himself brighter. Chameleons can't blend in, they only use their ability to attract mates.
Not to mention, like you brought up with the owl turning his head around, or Rango not being able to camouflage, the film uses the fact that it's characters are animals in unique ways that add to who the characters are and what role they are able to play in the story. Sometimes in anthropomorphic animal films these days, the narrative forgets that it's dealing with animals and writes all the characters like they are humans. To the point where you could replace the animal cast with a human cast and still have the same story (case and point, "Sing").
Don't get me wrong, I love the movie Zootopia, and I found its narrative of using predator and prey to symbolize racial inequality, and foxes and rabbits to symbolize societal stereotypes, to be a really clever tactic for the film's thematic storytelling. I just wish that film gave us more scenes like the one where Judy is using her bunny athleticism to give out parking tickets. It's great when you can see the writers playing around with the idea of "how would this animal use their natural talents to solve this problem?"
That same question about animal characteristics being used to shape the characters, their actions, and how they go through situations, is a big part of the movie Rango. Which is another reason why that movie is so great.
I just wished more filmmakers utilized that same potention when writing for their "talking animal" movies.
Can we just agree how badass Rattlesnake Jake was?
You say badass I say terrifying 😱😱😱😱
@@elijahvargas6338 He's terrifying in a badass way. 😂😂😂😂😂
I tip my hat to you, one legend to another.
and of course, the voice actor is Davy Jones from Pirates of The Caribbean
Not as badass as the Toad who shoots his Shotgun with one Hand while hanging out of the Wagon.
Must've been pretty humilliating for Pixar to release Cars 2 in the same year as this gem, and lose the Oscar to it.
I think rio came out or kung fu panda 2
Cars 2 was a fucking embarrassment
Cars 2 was ight to me I hated the original
Moltenlava perfect explanation
I enjoyed Cars 1 the most. Cars 2 was just alright but I feel like it was out of place like a spin off more than anything. Cars 3 just straight up sucked.
My favourite film of all time - forever a masterpiece. You explained what I couldn’t put into words beautifully
Same 💕💕
I finally got around to watching it tonight and holy shit is it one of my favorite animated films. I love when filmmakers take FULL advantage of their setting like this
Rango is one of the ugliest talking animal movies I've ever seen, and that's part of what makes it so great. The designs really do feel dry, dusty, and gritty, just like the desert and westerns, and Rango clearly stands out from the others with his bright, clean design. As a kid this made the movie feel boring to me but now I see it as charming genius.
Couldn't have said it better myself!
IKR SAME when I was a kid I was used to the bright colored animal talking movies so I got bored of it but I realized how better it is in comparison now
Idk but should I feel weird that when I was a kid, I liked 'ugly' characters more than the attractive ones until now?
: )
It's not ugly moron
I love the fear rattlesnake jake has towards eagles. It makes him feel more like a person or(snake) and gives him more personality rather than a stone cold, fearless villain.
Your Next Door Neighbors it’s like he knows his limits
They were hawks and yeah I agree!
Plus the fact that in addition to playing along Rango's fake identity at first to break it, he got caught off guard when he came back to the town a different man yet in a sense lived up to the very legend he lied himself as, and of course after that, humbly gave Rango his respects before leaving the town himself.
"I tip my hat to you, one legend to another"
He is cool as heck, it's the imperfections that make a good character
A hawk is a predator to a rattlesnake
I will always love the part when Rango punches the lady as retaliation for slapping him. That shit was always funny AF
I noticed that you mentioned the unique look of the action scenes in this animated film. It's because it is unique. The reason the action looks so good is because industrial light and magic made this. It is their only feature length animation film. Normally they do special affects for major block busters.
We can’t deny that the animation of rango was way ahead of it’s time.
What are you saying?
I wouldn't say so, considering avatar released in 2009. The art direction, though, maybe could be considered ahead of its time
Dunno if it was, but the way they fucking animated that snake??? Genius
Spoons is the best animal character in any movie of its kind.
Still holds up today imo

Of course, who din't watch, read and play everything relesead in the past 9 years? I do not understand this logic, spoiler is spoiler, no matter the time. And it costs nothing to put a spoiler warning.
Has to be one of my favorite movies ever made. And it couldn't be done in live action either, the way the movie takes advantage of the animation medium is insanely creative
My favorite thing is rangos speech about how as long as that sign is hanging there's hope and of course the sign never completely falls off
The cgi animation has aged so well it looks amazing. Also this film is very underrated.
It came out like eight years ago and it’s miles ahead of anything Illumination has produced. It’s such a treat to watch
The creature animation, the light and atmospheric effects, the physics, everything was superlative. The more you watch the movie the more you notice. Multiple viewings don't reveal flaws, they just make the movie more awesome.
I heard it won an oscar.
The animation was done by Industrial Light and Magic aka guys that made VFX for all the Star Wars movies, Jurrasic Park etc.
That's what I find so incredible, the animation, 3d character creation, has aged very well. They took their time and put the money into it.
It's too bad that this film will never get a sequel. Speaking of films that should get a sequel but never will, The Owls of Ga'Hool series should be re-explored.
The older we get, the more we appreciate works of art we neglected as children.

Hi there, come to appreciate this masterpiece with us?
When I saw this movie when I was younger I really enjoyed it actually. My friend did 2.
10 years later and that outro Rango song is still in my head.. "rangooooo Rangoo oh oh... RANGO"
I remember watching this movie in a completely empty cinema as a child. I was 7 or 8 and the journey of finding ones identity with all the fails along the way really influenced me. I love this movie and I'm very thankful for the memories that video gave me ❤
Finally, I thought it was so weird nobody praised Rango for the masterpiece it is.
It won an oscar???

Rango in 2011 being unique, funny and amazing:
2011 cinema: “Strangers don’t last long around here!”
a year earlier guardians of ga'hoole came out to the same reaction..amazing films no one talked about?..really?...their like epic kids films...I like kung fu panda and toy story 3 too but like while those films deserve praise a lot of shit films got way more attention at that time and it makes me sad cause when films have actual effort put into them I want them to make money...it shouldn't pay to be lazy and cost someone money to make the best product they can for real fans to enjoy even if a lot of people dont notice..i notice...

I remember Guardians of Ga'hoole.
That was a good movie.
I still think that Gylfie is the cutest thing I've ever seen on screen. xD
I was already a big fan of Wolves of the Beyond when that movie came out, at that point I didn't even know about the series before Faolan. Loved that movie when I watched it, though I think it got a lot of just criticism about trying to cram a bunch of books into one. If Marvel and Harry Potter taught us anything, ridiculously long series of movies are seriously profitable.
Also WTF I CLICK ON A VIDEO ABOUT MY FAVORITE KIDS MOVIE AND I'M RANTING ABOUT MY FAVORITE BOOK SERIES WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!
@@razkable gahoole was ok but the character designs sucked, didn't stand out enough, it was owl #1, owl #2 and so on
@@razkable For a kids film it is pretty good. However, the writing, character designs and world-building seems way too cliche and generic for teens and adults to enjoy. Love the animation tho.
Why is Rango coming back so much in 2019? I don't care, but I approve!
Someone did a video on it, then someone else saw it and remembered how amazing the film is, and then said someone made a video on it and so on...
@@VladDascaliuc i thought it was because of the " I tip my hat to you one legend to another" meme or something
@@VladDascaliuc I know MovieClips uploaded a whole bunch of clips from the movie a few months ago and also Cosmodore did a vid on it, but I just noticed how it's been coming back.
@@UnorthodoxIndividual I mean, that's how the internet works. If you look at the actual origin of most memes you will see that they gain popularity long after they're made. "Oh shit, here we go again" for example is from GTA San Andreas, a 2004 game.
This is pretty much the same.
@@VladDascaliuc yeah, people love finding weird old stuff and making it topical, hey have you heard of this thing called *b e a n s*
This is one of (if not my favorite) animated movies. I've never been able to understand and express why I liked it so much before watching this, but you word it perfectly. It's a shame that I never hear anyone talk about this underrated and amazing movie.
The level of detail put into even the smallest characters that are on screen for just a few frames is astounding.
Child me: This movie is weird and bad
Teenage me: I should have slapped myself when I was a child
I watched this when I was around 10 and stupid little me thought it was boring as hell
I hate my young self
Dude me too. Me and my parents watched this movie and i said that we wasted money. Man i suck when i was a kid
Was I the only person who loved this movie as a 5 year old?
@@SH-pi9rv ikr I used to binge watch this as a little kid every day until they removed it from Netflix in my country......my parents were very relieved.
Psychotic_ husky4 haha, I had it on disk and my mom’s car had a movie player. They could never get rid of it, only to have it gone when my older brothers decided to like something else
Animation studios: *creates cute animals*
Nickelodeon: *_ahem_*
Nickelodeon had no influence on the movie except funding
@@TheStitchwraith1970 Still fun to believe they made it lol
I was the real monster all along he means that’s that animals aren’t cute and fluffy like most movies nowadays it was a “teen” movie so a bit gritty with the cartoons is what they went for I’m aure
@@TheStitchwraith1970
But we can't argue the fact that some old school Nickelodeon cartoons were terrifyingly, asymmetrically and *UNIQUELY* designed (in a good way) .. like Rugrats, Ren and Stimpy, Rockos Modern Life, Invader Zim and a bunch of other cartoons I forgot the title of 😂
eug. / Deafgate ain’t saying that Nickelodeon can’t make scary/weird stuff I’m saying that shouldn’t be put under Nickelodeon’s name.🧽
Rango is my favorite 3D animated movie. My Army friends at the time said I had a smile from ear to ear in the theater. Very good analytic video you've made here.

I'm glad there are people who bring attention to Rango, it's genuinely just such a great movie, one of my favourites. The video said it all - the story, the animation, the action, the characters, the music... This movie is really outstanding, yet I very rarely see people talking about it. I feel it always was, and still is, very underrated. More people need to know about this movie.
I appreciate that there's someone else out there who also can't get over how badass that toad is in that 2 second clip
There's dozens of us! Dozens!!
It's the number one thing I remember about this movie. I'm glad I'm not alone with fondness of that clip.
@@Josh_Keefe Do you happened to be a Heavy main also?
*So true*
I have seen this movie 5 years ago, but the one thing I remember immediatly from it is bot the fucking gatling carrying snake, not the badass spirit of the west or the magnificently done tatoo shaman,
it's that toad that reload a shotgun, that right there is straightly fap material
Rango, like a chameleon, had to change his own self identity to survive in a world without law
And he IS a chameleon. Now THAT is some fridge brilliance I tell you!
In a world without law, he fills the vacuum and becomes the law. Giving people what they need.
@@darthlynx5792 Now that's a good way to sum up his character.
The best part is that this is a film about a chameleon having an identity crisis. What a genius idea.
@@darthlynx5792 nobody needs law. What they need is order.
I've watched this video like 7 times now, when ever it pops up on my feeds I have to give it a rewatch
The first time I ever watched Rango I was in high school, probably 10th or 11th. At the time I was already sort of into weird obscure films and forms of media, but I think I watched this movie 5 times in a row. There was just something about it that I loved. It was DEEPER than just an average childrens movie, and the animation is superb.
I was so sure I was the only one who thought that toad single-handedly reloading his rifle is one of the most epic things ever put to screen.
It was,he was single handle reloading a lever action shotgun
Rango had so many epic scenes its one of my all time greatest movies
It was a nice reference to The Rifleman, Lucas McCain. Its also a glorious sequence.
firing at mole people on bats while hanging off the side of a wagon!!!
It is. It is most likely an homage to True Grit (1969). Terminator 2 used it too. czcams.com/video/E8OsYE8kiqg/video.html
2011 me: Rango was a cool movie I guess
2019 me *Watches this*: F**k, I need to go watch Rango again.
You took the words right from my mouth here. I think the very same.
Same
May i hop in the bus too

Criminally underrated, I grew up watching this, and it remains as my favourite animated movie of all time!
We can all agree this though: playing ‘The Chain’ by Fleetwood Mac over the ‘try me’ scene is the most beautiful piece of animation I’ve ever seen
POV: ur a toad holding onto a wagon firing at moles and reloading single handedly
POV: the moles are flying and your also badass
POV: Ur the toad version of Arnold Schwarzenegger
POV: you say apple.
So rdr2
the fight scene is awesome
A nice bit of visual story telling is , while Rango can't change his colors well, his cloths slowly change to match the setting and role he's trying to play, the more he becomes the gun slinging hero the closer his outfit reflects that, even regressing at times before finally becoming the spitting image of the Sheriff the people needed inside and out. He now truely blended in with his new home and family.
I am surprised at the level of details you have focused on. A movie like Rango truly deserves this level of appreciation and ironically there are only few people in my circle who actually appreciate this movie. I thought I was weird because I love this movie so much that I can watch it hundreds of times and still enjoy it. The concept of this movie that I admire the most that a hero cannot exist without a conflict. To me it’s like the essence of life.
It’s been 8 YEARS!
Finally, Rango is getting the praise it deserves!
Edit: Holy crap, thanks for the likes!?
EXACTLY
Stop Motion Lego Creator I remember watching it in the theatres it was awesome
I thought I was the only one who still watched it
I had to write a 12 page paper on this and loved every second of it
At age 3 I watched this and I remember it to this day
Rango: “Only takes one bullet.”
Jake: “You ain’t got the nerve.”
Rango: “Try me.”
*Cue Jake realizing he would actually pull the trigger and having a minor heart attack*
@@iamacatperson7226 *(Chuckles)* “I’m in danger!”

*the chain by Fleetwood Mac starts playing*
I take it you never watched the movie if your quoting only the memes from the movie.
i recently watched this movie after years and omg it aged so beautifully. The storyline, the animation, the style, it was so ahead of its time
Roger Deakins was actually an associate to the production’s cinematography. He gave some advice on how to light certain scenes to make them look as real as possible
*Rango is not only a Bizarre Masterpiece*
but also an Underrated Masterpiece

Hope we get more movies like this. Such amazing cgi, character design, and story
the animation was amazing,during the mountain fighting scenes the details were absolutely incredible . The water looked so realistic and the animation of all the animals were stunning
