Three New Clips From 'Igor'

Before "Igor" hits the theaters this coming Friday, September 19, three brand new clips from the comedy animation have come out. One of the clips displays Igor in what seems to be a jacuzzi with one of the scientists having a small chat and enjoying a cocktail. The second clip presents Igor being praised as nice guy by Eva, while the last one shows the time Igor tells Eva to be evil and kill a fly. Still, instead of following his instruction, Eva releases the insect.

In the fairytale land of Malaria, Igors have been known to be the foolish and stupid henchmen of scientists assisting the great minds to make their best inventions. But, one particular Igor has a mind of his own. Having a Yes Master's degree and dreaming to be a scientist himself, Igor get his chance when his master kick him out a week before the annual Evil Science Fair. Determined to prove himself, he creates a ferocious monster. Still, his attempt turns out to be something he least expects.

My kids enjoyed it. Were umping around in their seats to the Louis Prima music (who knew?). Couldn't stop talking about rabbit. These "professional" reviewers had better stick to Pacino or Brando. They don't seem to have a handle on what is an entertaining movie for KIDS!

Very cute movie! I watched it twice, and though it may not be the best movie, it still made me laugh out loud in many spots. I loved Eddie Izzard's character. Overall a good movie.

Being in the animation industry, I really must say this movie was great. In the beginning it made me a little skeptical since it started out with some corny puns and jokes, as though it was trying to force a laugh out of the audience, but the movie soon got on its feet and became VERY enjoyable. The animation was wonderful, the designs were SPECTACULAR and I will be buying the "Art of Igor" book as SOON as it comes out (fingers crossed that it DOES come out). Granted there WERE some parts of the movie that were a little weak, but overall it was a fantastic film, especially compared to the things they call movies coming out nowadays. Its more then refreshing to see GOOD animation for characters that arnt being forced to look realistic. I never did agree with 3D nowadays that tries to be as close to realism as it can. And this movie was a work of art, brought to life.

A good message to the evil 'scientists'. You don't have to be destructive to benefit yourselves.
