IGOR (2008) ** (Voices of: John Cusack, Molly Shannon, Steve Buscemi, Sean Hayes, Eddie Izzard, Jennifer Coolidge, Jay Leno, John Cleese, Arsenio Hall, Christian Slater) Disappointing animated fare attempting to do what SHREK did for storybook characters this tries for classic horror characters ; to wit: the titular hunchbacked assistant to mad scientists (a game Cusack) decides to create his own 'evil' monstrosity and the end result is a gi-normous patchwork gentle giantess named Eva (Shannon also a good sport) who is far from being what he wanted her to be. The look of the film cribs liberally from Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and its awful puns fall like bricks thanks to a logy screenplay by Chris McKenna. Best suitable for the wee ones ; for everyone else rent "Mad Monster Party". (Dir: Anthony Leondis)
