Go To: Rango

Gore Verbinski, the mind behind the OG Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, made headlines in 2026 with the release of his dark, anti-AI time travel comedy, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die. It received admirably decent reviews and can be called a wacky and enjoyable contribution to a timely discourse. But I promise you, it is not the weirdest thing the filmmaker has given us. That would be his only animated feature to date: Rango, a coarsely tongue-in-cheek cartoon western for which Verbinski brought along Pirates actors Johnny Depp and Bill Nighy.
