THEY SAY

Igor is a playfully irreverent comedy which brings a new twist to the classic monster genre. It tells the story of a mad scientist's hunchbacked lab assistant who has big dreams of becoming a scientist in his own right and winning the coveted first place award at the annual Evil Science Fair.

WE SAY

The idea sounds kinda cute.

However the art work we’ve seen isn’t particularly inspiring, nor is the fact that it is directed by a guy whose previous movie was one of those numerous direct-to-DVD Lilo & Stitch sequels. And wasn’t the last computer-animated movie by The Weinstein Company the disappointing TMNT?

Still, the voice cast is cool (Buscemi! Cusack! Cleese!) and who knows, with the right script Igor might turn out to be something to give Pixar a run for their money . . . (Er, just kidding.)
