Johnny Depp as Rango will embark on a new adventure when the spaghetti western animated hit with new footage rides onto Blu-ray and DVD on July 15.
Rango re-teamed Pirates of the Caribbean vets Gore Verbinski and Johnny Depp, a winning combination that earned over $120 million at the domestic box office and over $230 million worldwide. The CGI-animated film co-stars the voices of Isla Fisher, Ned Beatty, Bill Nighy, Ray Winstone, Alfred Molina, Abigail Breslin, Harry Dean Stanton and Timothy Olyphant.
