The Rotoscopers discuss the 2011 Oscar winner for Best Animated Feature, Rango. Highlights: Morgan and Chelsea watched the documentary "The Sweatbox" News: Glen Keane leaves Disney, The Art of the Secret World of Arrietty, and trailers for Secret of the Fairy Wings, Hotel Translyvania, and Rise of the Guardians Nerdy couch discussion: shift in character design and spinoffs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles design changes over the years X-Men then and now Sabertooth then and now Disturbing animation style in the motion comic Astonishing X-Men: Gifted  Main discussion: Rango When was the last time there was a western animated film?  Is Rango just the "Johnny Depp show"? What classic Disney characters would you see Johnny Depp voicing? What we like about the film: atmosphere, character appeal and country critters Describe this movie in one word: texture  Music: the mariachi owls = the Muses from Hercules + the mice from Babe The big question: which animals in animated films are beast of burden and which wear clothes What didn't we like: crude humor, should it have been rated PG-13, redundant plot (a la Aladdin) Is the film anti-religious and pro-spirituality? Or neutral religious-wise? Condundrums: not following his shadow, why did Tortoise John need the water?, what was Rango's real name Our rating: Four stars ★★★★ all around Our first mail bag segment! Bloopers: the time vortex returns from episode 1, Mason and Chelsea's southern accents Runtime: 1:17:55, 37.4 MB Where to Find Us: ■ Find us on the web: therotoscopers.com, twitter, facebook, YouTube, tumblr, hypable & Animated Views ■ Mason Smith: This Animated Life Blog, Twitter ■ Chelsea Robson: Facebook, Twitter ■ Morgan Stradling: Twitter, Instagram ■ Visit our sponsors: Netflix, Audible, Amazon ■ Questions, comments, suggestions?
