Triggers
- animals (besides dog/cat/horse) dying: The cast is mainly animals, and some deaths are seen.
- dead animals: Animals frequently get into battles. It is all anamorphic animals that act like humans.
A corpse of a the bankteller, which is a rabbit, is shown
a crow gets shot, but survives
a bird has an arrow through it's eye (played as a joke) but it doesn't seem to be in pain.
A hawk eats a toad.
The same hawk is crushed and killed by a falling water tower.
Some bats get shot and killed while flying.
A tortoise is implied to be killed by a snake off-screen.
- spiders: One of the characters briefly shown is a spider.
- snakes: One of the main antagonists is a huge talking snake named Rattlesnake Jake
- bugs: Roly-polies (pill bugs) are seen. Rango eats bugs.
- child abuse: A mole beats his sons up when he's upset with them.
- alcohol abuse: Characters are seen in a bar drinking cactus juice, the alcoholic equivalent in this movie.
- bones breaking
- shaving or cutting
- hangings: It doesn't actually happen, but gallows are shown onscreen and several characters are almost hanged.
- eye mutilation: One of the characters has an arrow through his eye. It doesn't seem to bother him, however.
- heads getting squashed: A hawk is seen squashed to death by a water tower. It is not graphic at all, but the body is shown.
- finger or toe mutilation
- choking: Two characters are submerged in water and almost drown, but they escape and survive.
- seizures: One of the main characters (beans) will periodically freeze up. It's framed as a faulty "defense mechanism," but they're very similar to absence seizures.
- teeth damage: Some characters have bad teeth.
- parents dying: Not on screen, but Beans talks about her dead father.
- kidnapping: A character is tied up and gagged by the villains before being pulled away.
- ghosts: A legendary figure called the Spirit of the West appears in a dream, but he is not really a ghost.
- jumpscares: There is sudden gunfire that interrupts a scene in the latter half of the movie, which can be startling.
- mannequins: There is a headless doll torso that has the smooth plastic look of a mannequin.
- farting or spitting: a bird farts during the water ceremony and they all spit in that scene as well. but there is a lot of spitting throughout the movie.
- copaganda: The main character is thrust into the role of sheriff and takes advantage of his social position over others, as well as upholding the ideals of what a sheriff should/shouldn't be.
- suicide attempts: There is a scene where the main character walks through a busy highway while thinking existential thoughts that could be interpreted as a suicide attempt. At least that is how I read it upon my first viewing.
- claustrophobic scenes: Two characters are trapped in a water tank and almost drown. This can be claustrophobic.
- misophonia
- minority misrepresentation: Rango perpetuates some very stereotypical things regarding Spanish people and Native Americans. When Rango is showing off his acting abilities, he plays a Spaniard who has a very stereotypical accent and who is an excellent lover who attracts all the "womens." When he is the sheriff, Rango asks a raven/crow who is a Native American stand-in if he can use "Injun-uity" or converse with a buffalo to track some bandits.
- hate speech: Multiple times a Native American character is referred to with derogatory language and treated as a 'mystical' know all.
- man in a dress jokes: A pivotal scene at the middle of the second act revolves around Rango wearing a dress and talking in a high pitched voice to fool antagonists.
- car crashes: A car crash occurs in the very beginning of the movie. No one is hurt, but Rango is flung out of the broken window.
- car honk / tire screech: There is a car accident in the opening scenes. A car swerves wildly and tires screech.
- people getting hit by cars: A car crash occurs in the beginning of the movie, but no one is hurt. An armadillo is seen having been run over by a car, but he lives.
- gun violence: Lots of gun violence.
- drownings: A character is found dead, and the cause is drowning. Two characters are trapped in a water tank and almost drown, but they escape and survive.
