- Critics' reviews
-
-
"While the stitches holding together the plot are clearly visible, Igor breathes some enjoyable life into its stolen grab-bag of gimmicks."
-
"Although the visuals tantalize and the actors providing the voices add a lot of sass, the result is only so-so."
-
"Though it has clever moments, it doesn't come close to the polished animation, wit and originality of the big green guy (Shrek)."
-
"If Mel Brooks were to team up with Tim Burton, the result might be something like the loony and colorfully tantalizing animated film Igor."
-
"You can't blame John Cusack for jumping at the chance to play Igor."
-
"Sparky voice performances and heart make up for this family film's theft of Tim Burton's sensibility."
-
"An animated twist on the Frankenstein story that never sparks to life."
