I've Got a Hunch You Might Like These New 'Igor' Pictures

On September 19th, we'll get our next animated family movie when Igor hits theaters. It's been an up and down couple of months for animated film, with Wall-E and Kung Fu Panda soaring to great heights and Space Chimps and Fly Me to the Moon never exactly taking off (pun intended).

Igor (John Cusack) is an assistant to a mad scientist who has his own aspirations of winning the annual Evil Science Fair, only Igor's not really evil at all. These new computer animated spins on classic genres can work or they can backfire. For example, Hoodwinked was good fun, but Happily N'Ever After is one of the worst cartoons I've ever endured.

Based on the trailers, Igor looks fun, and it's written by Chris McKenna, who previously gained some experience writing for American Dad, so we'll continue to hold out hope for it. And based on a series of new images we just received in our e-mail, it looks like director Anthony Leondis has a pretty funky vision.

 

Look for Igor - and listen for The Cuse, Eddie Izzard, John Cleese, Steve Buscemi, and James Lipton as himself - on September 19th.

There is also a trailer out for this already, and it really does look like it will be funny - almost has a taste similar to "The Nightmare Before Christmas".

Here's the link to the trailer:

Enjoy!

I absolutely love cartoons and am counting the days till I can take a day off to see it! It looks like a funning and charming flick that kids and adults with both love!
