Be prepared to watch this more than once. The first time should be for the sheer whimsy of it. Rango is brilliantly detailed, imaginatively rendered animation that certainly ranks it high among the most beautiful mainstream efforts of the last few years. The second time will be to catch all the references. Here's some help; Man of La Mancha, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, the Civil War Westerns of John Ford, Jonah Hex (the comics), and of course Once Upon a Time in The Old West just to name a few. No silly pop songs and far fewer pop cultural catch phrases (that are of course dated by the time the film comes out) Rango is a veritable how-to for intelligent heartfelt animated storytelling. So weird to think of Gore Verbinski being behind this. Extras here include 10 deleted scenes, a pic in pic storyboard reel, behind the scenes featurettes and more. You also get a DVD and a digital copy.
