“ It’s better to be a good nobody than and an evil somebody “ – Igor
“It’s better to be nobody than step on somebody “ – Eva
From Walt Disney, Igor is a really interesting piece of an animated feature. This film is taking the good-versus-the bad-type-of-film formula to new heights! A wickedly twisted but outrageously amusing story about how “normal” or “good” it is to be “evil”. What a paradox! It revolves around the adventure of a young man… er… a Mad Scientist’s Assistant to be exact, named Igor.
A very interesting character to begin with, Igor easily attracts empathy from most viewers if not all. Well at least I did. He may not look like your typically handsome or cute-faced hero like all the other protagonists out there, and that in itself makes him a refreshing icon. Other memorable characters were her royal cuteness Eva, who’s just plain adorable. His two companions, aside from owning some unique traits, were equally entertaining too. Igor’s certainly at home with this bunch of characters.
The over-all dark atmosphere was especially vital to the plot – great consistency right from the very beginning. It’s got superb sound effects and music, reminiscent of the “Dracula” and “Frankenstein” era. Because of the movie’s theme, you’ll also get to remember “the Corpse’s Bride”. With reference to its ability to stir curiosity and interest, I give it a little above-average rating. There were some scenes that were too-slow-paced but over-all the movie is worth the watch. From all the lines I have quoted from the movie, wouldn’t you think the message sounds clear and important?
“ We all have our own evil in our body but it is up to us to use it.” – Igor
You know what the weird part is, I first saw it via my little cousin’s DVD, which I figured later on was fake or pirated. Well, I never had a chance to see it in an actual theater. I was hoping it would be shown here locally. But ever since last summer, I never had any news if this feature was really distributed here in the Philippines. I really really hope you’d go watch it, just don’t know how though… well, if you just looked at the poster, it says there that it will be shown on September… let’s wait for it…
