I have to admit, I really didn't want to see this movie, but some friends wanted to go, so I tagged along. It was either that or sit at home hitting the Stumble button a million times. Ultimately, it was worth the trip. While this film is obviously geared toward children with a typical "you are more than your peers make you out to be" moral, there is definitely some substance and a good number of bits that anyone can laugh to (there are a pretty good number of sophisticated jokes tucked away, I was surprised). I also admire the many, many homages put in to honor classic and modern horror and children's media. The animation was flawless, the voice acting was spot on, and the character design complimented everything perfectly. While I will say this is no Shrek, it's enjoyable, fun for kids and adults.

I screened this movie last night and I was not let down. Granted my reaction prior to seeing the movie was ohhh great another low budget animation movie with big name stars trying to make a mark. But thankfully I was way off. The animation actually was pretty good. They had all the bells and whistles expected nowadays and the voice acting was top notch, especially Steve Buscemi. Also, while I did not have a problem with it, some parents might find the innuendos and jokes and some language bad for youngers kids. The kids probably won't even get half the jokes as well. Glad they didn't go the dreamworks direction and try to add jokes about current news and celebrity media things. Go see this, you shouldn't be upset you did :-)

I was surprised sitting there with my 11 year old daughter at some of the content of this movie. Smaller children would for sure leave with nightmares in their future. I'd have to say part of it, like the immortal bunny gnawing off his own feet were a bit on the morbid side and the swearing was out of place and inappropriate. We are big movie goers but if I had younger children I would not have been happy. My daughter said to mention that it was overall an odd movie, sometimes funny but most of the time it was "not right". She didn't like the swearing or mention of body parts. Overall she wouldn't recommend it.

Super cute, along the highway of Nightmare Before Christmas. There were a few scenes where I cringed on behalf of my 6 year old twins. But they loved it and so far...no bad dreams

This full length animated film is every mad scientist movie turned inside out, told from the viewpoint of Igor, every mad scientist's hump-backed assistant. Of course, Igor didn't plan to be born with a hump on his back and get sent to "yes master" school. It just kind of happened. Igor has dreams, like everybody else and in this movie he gets to live them -- only to find out that you have to be careful what you dream for. The animation is fantastic in a dark, Transylvanian way. The score is straight from Dracula's castle. The cast is truly all-star with one outdoing the other for comic shtick. Take your kids. If you don't have kids, borrow some.
