Quartile rating: 6/10 · 1 rating
A cliché hunchbacked evil scientist's assistant aspires to become a scientist himself, much to the displeasure of the rest of the evil science community.
Igor has a genuinely quirky premise that subverts the mad-scientist trope by centering on the overlooked henchman, giving it some distinctive personality. The voice cast (John Cusack, Steve Buscemi, Sean Hayes, John Cleese) delivers solid work that elevates the material. However, the plot execution is formulaic and meandering, failing to fully capitalize on its clever concept, with predictable beats and a weak payoff ending. The animation is competent but unremarkable, lacking the visual flair to distinguish it from mid-tier studio output of the era.
