Rated PG

For years, probably dating back at least as far as the first Toy Story, animated movies have reserved more than a few laughs for the adults forced to see them. Sometimes, the entertainment directed at parents in these cartoons is much better than anything aimed at the kids. Certainly, that’s been the case with three or the past four Pixar titles. But very few mainstream animated movies are as gleefully adult-oriented as Igor. In the country of Malaria, the King declared many years earlier that the only way for its citizens to maintain a good quality of life was to transform Malaria into the home of evil inventions - be they monsters, machines, or potions - that would frighten the rest of the world into paying the King into not unleashing these horrors on mankind. To keep the threat real, Malaria holds an annual Evil Science Fair, in which the new models are demonstrated. Evil scientists need lab assistants, and in Malaria, they’re all named Igor. One such Igor (John Cusack) has longed to be an evil scientist, but because he was born with a hunch, it was off to Igor School instead. This year is different, though, and he’ll get his chance to show the world what he can do. Following the accidental death of the mad scientist he assists (voiced, all too briefly, by John Cleese), Igor and two of his previous inventions get to work creating a giant female Frankenstein. There's Scamper (Steve Buscemi), whom Igor has treated with some chemical compound or other that has made the little ugly rabbit immortal, and there's Brain (Sean Hayes), who is little more than a brain in a jar that can talk. He shouldn't, because he's a moron, but he can. They have five days to build a weapon of mass destruction and get the right wig for her, too. While this Igor isn’t evil (he’s far from it), parents may have a different reaction to Igor the movie. Lines like "Who doesn’t like tortured kitties?" may not fly with them, at least not as far as their children are concerned. But despite a character that gnaws his feet off and an intention to shoot over a lot of heads by naming the villain Dr. Schadenfreude (Eddie Izzard), Igor is a very inventive and funny movie. The animation isn’t great but it’s devilishly good fun for kids of most ages.
