My Verdict:

Green Tea says:

Dark-themed cartoon are always been unique. Remember this as Tim Burton's cartoon but the thing to note is that it is not by him. It is kind of hard to look for a good non-0Pixar or non-Dreamworks cartoon to be enjoyed. This is a cheap animation but it works better than Madagascar in a surprising way.

Starpower are questionable with only notable names you can always see, probably heard but not the one you always want to care. How many of you know who is John Cusack or Steve Buscemi, no?

The plot is a bit unusual but nevertheless interesting. I don't have much to talk about but i do love the cynical bunny in the movie. In the conclusion, it is recommendable if you have time to kill. Not all the jokes work, but most do, and the overall tenor of Igor is goofily funny -- probably a bit sophisticated for kids but certainly good-natured, according to critics at Newsday.
