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

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

Great, yet unfortunately, underrated film. Good laughs, voice talent, art, it was creative, and in all: Thoroughly enjoyable.

Really enjoyed this movie. It was a cute new look at the story of the Frankenstein Monster! Watch it online for free: ****/watch-25-Igor-online-free

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

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

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

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

Muy original poder hacer una historia con el eterno secundario del Dr. Frankenstein. Quién no ha visto siempre a Igor como un personaje divertido, que nos recuerda al Jorobado de Notre Damme. Muy divertidos los personajes secundarios, el gato immortal y sobretodo el cerebro.

It's normal for Igor to be this least favorable, but what Igor keeps trying is failing to improve itself in front of the audience. Fun, but quickly forgettable and leads to a mixed situation in the mixed bag.

A movie with slim to none comedy and a pathetic and much-spoofed storyline. The animation, writing, plot, voice acting. All of it was of either median or sub-par quality. I could not find one joke or reference funny. In fact, I could not remember one person in the theatre laughing and leaving the theatre everyone was silent and unaffected. Neither Pixar nor even Dreamworks could ever stoop this low.

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%.
