    This is what "Nightmare" fans have been waiting fifteen years for.

    Much of it will probably go right over the heads of kids who aren't familiar with classic movies or the naughtiness of Eddie Izzard.

    While the stitches holding together the plot are clearly visible, Igor breathes some enjoyable life into its stolen grab-bag of gimmicks.

    With an uneven and overstuffed script you appreciate the corner-of-the-mouth comments as delivered by Steve Buscemi.

    If Mel Brooks were to team up with Tim Burton, the result might be something like the loony and colorfully tantalizing animated film Igor.

    Although the visuals tantalize and the actors providing the voices add a lot of sass, the result is only so-so.

    Molly Shannon is dementedly charming as Eva.

    In style and tone, Igor seems more like a short from the adult-oriented "Spike & Mike's Festival of Animation."

    Sparky voice performances and heart make up for this family film's theft of Tim Burton's sensibility.

    The visuals are a kick; the groan-inducing dialogue isn't.

    Though it has clever moments, it doesn't come close to the polished animation, wit and originality of the big green guy (Shrek).

    Too bad Igor didn't jolt the film to life with his Frankenstein shenanigans.

    An animated twist on the Frankenstein story that never sparks to life.

    You can't blame John Cusack for jumping at the chance to play Igor.

    Pixar this isn't, but neither is it "Mary Shelley's Veggie Tales." If only.

    One of those fever-pitched computer-generated whizbangs in which every character spits out lines like a caffeinated Catskills comic.

    With its belabored gags, misfired pop-culture references and garish visuals crammed together like so many disjointed body parts, this manic kidpic cranks up the annoy-o-meter early on and rarely lets up.

    One of those non-stop jabbering cartoons in which most of the lines sound like the spontaneous riffs from a couple of comics sitting around a diner.

    I want to like it so much, but it wasn't funny and its computer animation let me down and it had a hit and miss premise that let me down and the voice performances were boring. I give this movie 27%.… Full Review »

    Worth to watch. But not smart enough to be an animated movie on this era.

    The animation is probably the worst you'll ever see. In contrast to similar films, this movie has a terrible plot, unengaging characters, and a theme so boring you'll want to throw the disc away.… Full Review »
