A character is constricted in the coils of a large snake and can't breathe. All characters are animals with human intellect, so it is a willful, evil act by the snake, not something like an animal hunting in nature.
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.
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.
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.
A hopeless Rango attempts to commit suicide by walking across the highway, but he survives. The scene itself is very serious and solemn, so even though he doesn't die, it might help to prepare yourself.
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.
Rango technically becomes homeless when he goes from being a housepet to being lost in the desert, but it's not depicted as an allegory for human homelessness.
