RANGO

This movie was not on the list of movies for the class, but it should be... this movie while it is geared as a family movie has heavy environmental themes.

 

A family is crossing the desert by car with their lizard in an aquarium, when the driver is forced to preform an abrupt movement to avoid an accident and the aquarium falls off the car on the road. A female lizard Beans gives a ride to Rango up to an old western town called Dirt and he goes to the bar expecting to drink water. The braggart lizard tells the townspeople that he is a dangerous gunslinger called Rango and the impressed locals believe that Rango is a hero and invite him to be the sheriff. Sooner Rango finds that water is missing in town and the Major has a suspicious behavior. But when the evil Rattlesnake Jake arrives in town, Rango assumes that he is a coward and quits his position. He walks to the road but the Spirit of the West convinces him to return and fight for those that had believed in him.

Though the movie is set in the deserts of the west, it may as well be in Florida as many of the problems are similar to what our wildlife is subjected to. The missing water turns out to be caused by a new town being settled near by and it put a strain on the underground aquifer that the town of Dirt tapped into for their well, and the natural flow of water was disrupted because, of man something that is all to common in the state of Florida.
