Igor Reviews
Entertainment Insiders
It is a pale impostor lacking in the three dimensional feel of Burton's animated classics.

Top CriticThere's enough good stuff here that a better 'toon could have been stitched together from the many promising funny parts.

Production values are first rate considering the budget is much less than the kind Pixar or DreamWorks Animation routinely work with.

My kid went with it, and I had a fairly good time, as I waited for the reappearance of a marble-mouthed peasant tart, voiced by Jennifer Coolidge. Half the time her line readings are hilarious, and it's impossible to know why.

Screen International
Sweet-natured but saddled with strained wisecracking humor and over-busy plotting, Igor never quite manages to shake off a feeling of familiarity.

Director Anthony Leondis needs to go back to the lab.

Tim Burton, have you misplaced your sketchpad? Because I think Igor found it.

This animated underdog tale needs more time in the lab.

I just didn't think there were anywhere close to enough laughs in this movie and that ultimately, as a comedy, is what it's got to deliver.

I have been singing 'Tomorrow' from Annie for a few days now. Someone is going to murder me or I'm going to have to smack myself in the head and I blame it all on Igor.

Slant Magazine
Director Anthony Leondis peppers his tale with a host of leaden cinematic references children will almost surely miss, which is just as well since virtually every film-related gag directed at adults feels like a pitiful attempt at knowing cleverness.

Ultimately the film can only dream of having the magic, personality and charm of the Tim Burton efforts it so obviously plagiarises
FILMINK (Australia)
Igor sends up all sorts of cliches, but -- by degenerating into a mawkish romance and a boring race against time -- it also becomes one.

This is what happens when you combine THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS with SHREK. It should have been called DRECK!

I can't really recommend it, but Igor provides all the clever puns and non-sequiturs and hipness that you'd expect from a mid-range computer-animated movie.

Igor tries to spoof Mary Shelley just as Shrek did the Brothers Grimm, but something tells us this movie's charmless hero won't make an ogre-size impression on kid audiences. Call it a hunch.

Igor has charm but misses a grand opportunity to evoke the world of James Whale when it would rather crib blatantly from Tim Burton.

Some of the nasty jokes may seem shocking with young ones around, but they'll keep adults awake through the utterly, painfully familiar three-act snoozefest.
