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.

This film hasn't had very much advertising which is a shame because it is actually very good. Would reccomend this film to anyone with children. My kids who are 16,12 and 6 all enjoyed it. brilliant funny family film

I love CGI animation and I love Tim Burton films (Coraline, Nightmare before Xmas, Time Bandits etc) so I was expecting to love this. But I really don't. Read more

Couldn't fault it --
-- except maybe choice of songs/music in one or two places. Otherwise the best horror-comedy animated there's been, Tim Burton not excepted. Read more
