Wonderful style, soundtrack, storyline and script. The characters are gruesome and adorable all at once. Lots of dark, black humour, perfect for my kids! We had initially rented this film, but found ourselves singing the songs and quoting the lines to each other, so it had to be bought. It's refreshing to see that Disney and Pixar do not have the monopoly on animated classics.

I got this movie partly because of the competitive price for a comparatively recent movie and got only what I'd paid for. I would say that despite not being for stop motion animation, the character design is heavily influenced by Nightmare before Christmas, and to a lesser extent Corpse Bride... fair enough, most work is influenced by its predecessors, and in that respect it has a good foundation. But the story and scripting is pretty shallow even for a kid's film. And this is a kid's film (not always true in animation... try Watership Down!). The monsters aren't that scary, IGOR himself isn't that ugly and is actually quite engaging. Eva is a pleasant creation even when on the "other side" and the only comedy comes from Scamper and Brian/Brain (don't ask). But what there is, is good. But I do expect a little more complexity in a film that is intended to work for the adults as well as kids in the audience; the patent lack of that here is what brands IGOR as a kiddiflick plain and simple. Not that there's anything wrong in being that. But Nightmare before Christmas is a hard act to follow, and sets the standard for working on several levels, IGOR, ultimately, is Nightmare Lite.

Igor is about Igor who wants to be a evil scienist but he's a henchman to his master and can not be a scienist as he's a hunchback. But one shocking day, Igor is left alone with his friends and invents his greatest work ever: a evil girl monster only to his horror that she's called Eva and dosen't want to be evil only a actress! So Igor tricks Eva that she can be on stage when the scienist fair goes on but he soon falls for her and so does she but can he save her from the evil mad scienist and the deciteful king? It's a very iressiable, funny, clever and sweet movie full of romance and odd sorts of characters along the way. But there are some scenes that could frighen children and insults are pretty cruel to hear, other than that it's a kid friendly movie. Recomended if you loved Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride with some high-rated actors voices and excellent ending.

Couldn't fault it --

No subtitles? In this day and age?
I must say I was looking forwards to watching this, but as a deaf family, was very disappointed in the fact that there were no subtitles!
