Igor

What to Know

Critics Consensus

With an animation style that apes Tim Burton, and a slew of cultural references that aren't clear enough to reach the crowds, Igor's patched together antics make it hard to see who the film is trying to please.

Jim Schembri The Age (Australia) A fun time-killer for kids aged tween and up... Rated: 3/5 Jan 16, 2009 Full Review Eddie Cockrell Sydney Morning Herald Igor celebrates a defiantly adolescent and suitably caricatured vision of mortality with the potential to have adults and special young malcontents in stitches. Jan 15, 2009 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Like most acts of cruel mediocrity committed in the name of entertaining children, Igor presumably seemed like a good idea at the time. Rated: 1.5/5 Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens What is there not to love about IGOR? I can't think of a thing. IGOR is golden. Nov 8, 2019 Full Review Brian Orndorf BrianOrndorf.com Igor has charm but misses a grand opportunity to evoke the world of James Whale when it would rather crib blatantly from Tim Burton. Rated: C- Jun 2, 2010 Full Review James White SFX Magazine There's a lurking feeling that somewhere along the production line, nervous studio types ordered changes to make the movie more commercial. Rated: 2.5/5 May 12, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews
