Rango (2011) tells the tale of a chameleon named Rango, a lost pet who stumbles into the harsh, dusty desert town of Dirt. When Rango, a lost family pet, accidentally winds up in the gritty, gun-slinging town of Dirt, the less-than-courageous lizard suddenly finds he stands out. Welcomed as the last hope the town has been waiting for, new Sheriff Rango is forced to play his new role to the hilt, inventing a heroic persona to survive.
