 The main character is a lonely chameleon which lives in captivity. It seems unhappy and it dreams of being a hero or the main character of a story. Throughout the movie, an extraordinary event happens that gets Rango (the main character) in trouble. Rango gets stuck in a desert and has to confront multiple dangers until he gets into a village in which the population is living through a water crisis. So, when the chameleon arrives at the village, he adopts the name “Rango” and, because of his actions, gains the respect and the trust of the village. Therefore, he decides to solve the crisis. Will Rango be capable of solving the water crisis?

 In our opinion, the movie is really good and the plot of the movie is really interesting because it touches profound topics and it gets to criticize the present society, so even though the movie is for children, it is really enjoyable for adults too. We believe that the soundtrack of the movie is really proper, the development of the characters is great, and the rhythm in which the plot came forward was also great.

 We deeply recommend this movie because it leaves us plenty of lessons which we can apply in our daily life. It also leaves us with phrases and characters which are just memorable. Even though “Rango” is an animated movie, it’s an amazing exponent to western-style movies and it archives to represent the wild West. Finally, this movie also makes us feel the hotness of the desert and the thirst the characters are experiencing.
