But like Burtons work, its harmless grotesquerie, appealingly manic and cute as well as sick.

Screen Daily
1.5
Like most acts of cruel mediocrity committed in the name of entertaining children, Igor presumably seemed like a good idea at the time.
4.5
Its spirited and funny in its better moments, and gives a sly spin to the clichs rather than just parroting them wholesale.

Combust Ible Celluloid
2.0
It is merely a pleasant enough (for a film featuring body parts) good triumphing evil tale with nothing surprising about it.
3.1
While this is no WALLE, or Ratatouille, it does bring to mind Monsters, Inc. and some of the visual flair of Burtons The Corpse Bride.

Independent
3.0
Enjoyable animated comedy with likeable characters, impressive animation and some good gags, though it runs out of steam towards the end.

Most of the laughs belong to Steve Buscemi, a hoot as Igors rabbit sidekick.

Problem is Eva (who looks like a refugee from some best forgotten anime) isnt evil at all.
Mountain X
2.5
Igor, like the Frankensteins monster at the centre of its tired plot, looks like something cobbled together out of used, very used, parts.
Toronto Star
3.0
This film is outclassed by the Pixar stable, but its entertaining stuff for the children.
Guardian
1.0
Its fatally split between catering for children who wont understand most of the references, and adults who will find it garish and relentlessly noisy.
Daily Mail
2.5
The parts of the whole are far too mediocre to really soak in and laugh with, in the end...
Cinema Crazed

With a curly twist on the mad scientist concept, this subversively inventive animation bubbles over with originality and amusing dialogue.

A blind childrens chorus singing I Can See Clearly Now is among the highlights of this otherwise forgettable animated feature.

Production values are first rate considering the budget is much less than the kind Pixar or DreamWorks Animation routinely work with.
Boxoffice Magazine

This is where most lower quality animated films fail %u2013 not in the animation, but in the writing.
Film School Rejects
1.5
Igor sends up all sorts of cliches, but by degenerating into a mawkish romance and a boring race against time it also becomes one.
Film Ink
1.9
While this is a seemingly fun and clever turn on classic monster movie conventions, Igor doesnt go far beyond being only a promising premise.
