This is what "Nightmare" fans have been waiting fifteen years for. Read full review

The A.V. ClubTasha Robinson
While the stitches holding together the plot are clearly visible, Igor breathes some enjoyable life into its stolen grab-bag of gimmicks. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineKen Fox
Much of it will probably go right over the heads of kids who aren't familiar with classic movies or the naughtiness of Eddie Izzard. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMichael Phillips
With an uneven and overstuffed script you appreciate the corner-of-the-mouth comments as delivered by Steve Buscemi. Read full review

USA TodayClaudia Puig
If Mel Brooks were to team up with Tim Burton, the result might be something like the loony and colorfully tantalizing animated film Igor. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterStephen Farber
Although the visuals tantalize and the actors providing the voices add a lot of sass, the result is only so-so. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyAdam Markovitz
The visuals are a kick; the groan-inducing dialogue isn't. Read full review

Washington PostMike Mayo
Though it has clever moments, it doesn't come close to the polished animation, wit and originality of the big green guy (Shrek). Read full review

Molly Shannon is dementedly charming as Eva. Read full review

San Francisco ChroniclePeter Hartlaub
In style and tone, Igor seems more like a short from the adult-oriented "Spike & Mike's Festival of Animation." Read full review

VarietyJustin Chang
With its belabored gags, misfired pop-culture references and garish visuals crammed together like so many disjointed body parts, this manic kidpic cranks up the annoy-o-meter early on and rarely lets up. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert Abele
One of those fever-pitched computer-generated whizbangs in which every character spits out lines like a caffeinated Catskills comic. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarc Savlov
Pixar this isn't, but neither is it "Mary Shelley's Veggie Tales." If only. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam Lacey
One of those non-stop jabbering cartoons in which most of the lines sound like the spontaneous riffs from a couple of comics sitting around a diner. Read full review
