RANGO wins Critics’ Choice Award for Best Animated Feature!

Rango won the Critics’ Choice Award for Best Animated Feature — congratulations to Gore Verbinski and all of the artists who worked on the film! In his acceptance speech, Verbinski said, “Thanks for this tonight. It’s a tremendous honor.” He paid tribute to artist Crash McCreery, responsible for the unique look of the inhabitants of Rango‘s desert town, and to the geniuses at ILM who brought the storyboards to life, and to the actor whose imitation of a lizard running on water inspired the idea for the film: Johnny Depp. Rango is Verbinski’s first animated feature; he seems to have gotten the hang of it in a hurry!

The Zone thanks Thespian at Heart for sharing the news, and Theresa for sharing a video clip of Verbinski’s acceptance speech. You can read more about Rango‘s Critics’ Choice win on the Zone’s News & Views forum.

The Zone congratulates the artists who made Rango such a unique delight — artists, animators, actors, and musicians — and salutes Gore Verbinski for keeping faith in his project from inception to completion to awards. Bravo!
