Let's clear something out of the way right now : Igor is an animation
movie, but mainly not for children. Kids will not understand most of
the jokes as the topic for most of them are intended for an older
audience. There is, however, a visual comedy that will apply to younger
viewers, but overall I think this movie targeted teenagers and adults.

People will like Igor based on what they expect from the movie. If they
expect it to be like Wall-E and other Pixar movies, you probably will
be disappointed. Igor has it's good sides and bad sides. The visual
side was breathtaking, the setting is beautiful, with unorthodox
character design. However in some cases, like the king of malaria, it
seemed like a copy of Nightmare Before Christmas' mayor, and that was
disappointing. The story is not too bad, but not the best. It lacked a
bit of depth at some times, but it is still amusing and entertaining.

Overall Igor is a good animation movie. It's not the best, definitely
not the worst. It's definitely worth seeing for animation fans, people
who like Tim Burton's work (as the design in the movie is similar to
his style), and anyone who wants to enjoy a light story with a happy
ending.
