"Igor" will evoke thoughts of "Monsters Inc." Everyone in the city of Malaria is led to believe that evil is their only viable means of economic stability. The rest of the world pays them to not release their evil creations. Igor (voiced by John Cusack) desires to be an evil scientist, but in Malaria all Igors are relegated to being evil scientist assistants. All of that changes when Igor's master, Dr. Glickenstein (voiced by John Cleese), is killed by his own hubris. Igor finally has the chance to show all of Malaria that Igors can be more than just assistants.
None of the themes of this movie are new, but the movie works. John Cusack's voice has always been somniferous to me and that doesn't change in this movie, but Cusack's monotone, emotionless voice doesn't significantly harm the production. "Igor" is pleasant, entertaining, and humorous. I wouldn't run out to buy the DVD, but I'd watch it if it were on.
