		<description><![CDATA[In order to avoid a snagging feeling of déjà vu during screenings of new animated flick IGOR keep repeating “its only a kids movie, its only a kids movie, its only a kids movie!”

Otherwise it would be wise to completely avoid this cliché ridden children’s tale that unimaginatively re-works the plot motivation of both FRANKENSTEIN and its sequel BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN to nauseating effect, whilst finding time to lift a story arc and a dance number from ANNIE and lace the entire piece with sub CORPSE BRIDE horror aesthetics that don’t go anywhere close to capturing the same bleakly comic charm that Tim Burton made his own.



The setting is the thunderous Kingdom of Malaria (fancy that), a bleak and brooding netherworld which reinforces the bleak preoccupation that encourages misery and destruction through twisted mechanical inventions. In this world we learn there are two dominate strands of people that make up the population divide: severely twisted evil mad inventors (predominately voiced by John Cleese) and ‘Igors’, a servile class of gloomy, oafish, slurring hunchbacks who look forward to an aimless existence helping their masters to ‘pull the switch’ in their sordid laboratories.

		<description><![CDATA[I'm not sold on the computer game like animation style and nor am I convinced that John Cusack is at all right for the voice of the lead but apart from that, Igor looks like fun.

I've always been fond of the plot - a new and knowing version of the classic Frankenstein fable whose twist of course is that it's from the point of view of the usual background character of Igor, the mad scientist's assistant.

This one comes from the Weinstein's company of animation but once again I might as well say it - Igor beats seeing another Shrek movie...

PULL THE SWITCH AND SEE IT IN HD!
Opening September 16th (UK) and October 17th (UK), Igor comes from director Anthony Leondis (STV Lilo &#38; Stitch 2) and has a voice cast that includes John Cusack, Steve Buscemi, Eddie Izzard, Jennifer Coolidge, Jay Leno, John Cleese, Sean Hayes and Molly Shannon. ]]></description>
