Rango

Rango seemed to be more appreciated by the critics than it was cinema audiences which is a pity, since it's very enjoyable, the CGI animation is excellent and the story gives a unique twist on the western genre. Its only shortfall, is that it's an animated film which doesn't target children as its principal audience.

Johnny Depp voices the character of Rango, a pet chameleon who winds up in a small desert town called Dirt, where he finds himself becoming sheriff.

Clearly a homage to Western films of the 1950's and 1960's with a nod to a few classic film noirs.

Though it might not be aimed at kids, this is one for the big kid in all of us.
