Rango (Johnny Depp) is a The lizard, dreaming of a hero all day long, accidentally got lost and came to the town of Dete in the west.

Catch the "hero" on the shelves
Nowadays, cartoons with "weird tastes" such as [Despicable Me] and [Super Villain] have a strong momentum, and the distinction between heroes and villains in movies is becoming more and more blurred. Lango is also such a "weird" element, who was originally unknown but was labelled a hero, and he was making a Western legend. But this time, it was not Disney or Pixar that dominated the special effects of the film, and DreamWorks was unfortunately abandoned by its old owner, Paramount, and was replaced by "Industrial Light and Magic" founded by George Lucas for [Star Wars]. The special effects company with 35 years has never been involved in animation before, and it is very powerful for the first time. In order to better capture the details of the actors' performances and transform them into animated characters, "Industrial Light and Magic" specially uses the top "cutting edge". Technology (Cutting-Edge) to provide outstanding visual effects. Not only that, director Wobinski's production company Blind Wink and Hollywood famous producer Graham King's GK Films also helped, eight Oscar-nominated The soundtrack master Hans Zimmer even provided the original sound of the movie for [Rango], which shows the true enthusiasm of everyone to gather firewood. Gore Wobinski, who

invited the "Captain" to
applaud [Rango], was born in the advertising industry. , The success of directing the first three [Pirates of the Caribbean] made him famous. Now Wobinski is trying to emulate the transformation of Wes Anderson, the director of [The Extraordinary Fox Dad], and he was close to the water during the filming of [Plus II]. Inviting Johnny Depp to dub Rango, the director himself felt that Depp looked and felt like a lizard, so the "captain" who could not refuse had to take 20 days out of his intensive work. In fact [Rango ]'s dubbing method is also different, Wobinski uniquely requires actors to use "natural performance" to interpret the role. So I saw Depp wearing a Hawaiian shirt dancing in the real scene built, dubbing the mother who was silenced. Isla Fisher actually had a pink scarf tied around her mouth when she was a lizard. This way of recording while performing undoubtedly enhanced the realism of the dubbing. No wonder Bill Nighy praised this method more than shutting it down. The recording studio is much more interesting. The superposition of many novel elements made the film popular before it was released. EA developed an online game based on the film at the right time, and [Rango] lived up to its expectations and won the North American box office in its first week of release. champion.
