On paper, Rango sounds like a joke pitch: Johnny Depp voices a pet lizard who becomes sheriff in a Western town. However, it emerged as one of the best mainstream animated movies of the 2010s, blending family animation with old-school Western style. Directed by Gore Verbinski, Rango won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and is praised for its depth, exploring themes of identity and authenticity. The movie features a unique voice cast, including Depp as Rango and Isla Fisher as Beans. Rango will be available for free on Kanopy starting April 24.
