Rango (2011)
Rango is an animated comedy that stars Johnny Depp as a pampered pet chameleon named Rango, who finds himself lost in the desert when he falls out of his family's truck. Rango accidentally stumbles into the role of a sheriff for a town under control by a greedy baron who limits access to water for his citizens to make more money. When Rango meets a young woman that catches his fancy, he'll utilize his acquired knowledge of Hollywood westerns to assume the role of a Sheriff to win her heart and save the town - if he isn't found out first.
