Igor

 (2008)

Animation | Comedy



This hilarious animated twist on the classic monster movie is must-see family fun! Determined to prove he can create his own diabolical invention, a mad scientist’s (John Cleese) nice-guy assistant, Igor (John Cusack), creates a female Franken-monster. But his creation, Eva (Molly Shannon), is sweet and sings show tunes! That is, until she falls into the clutches of Dr. Schadenfreude (Eddie Izzard) and his shape-shifting girlfriend (Jennifer Coolidge). Now it’s up to Igor and his sidekicks (Steve Buscemi and Sean Hayes) to save Eva – and their country – from real evildoers, including sneaky Prince Malpert (Jay Leno)!

Igor Blu-ray, Video Quality

  n/a


Igor arrives on Blu-ray featuring a 1080p high definition transfer, presented in its original 1.85:1 aspect ratio. The animation is mostly dark, but some of the lighter moments, such as a sequence in chapter three, look most impressive. Both the lighter and darker scenes manage to look nice in their own ways. Igor doesn't feature the best looking animation; it's certainly not of Pixar quality, but what the digital artists have created for this film translates into an overall attractive visual experience. What colors the artists offer, beyond the grim details that make up Malaria, appear vibrant on this Blu-ray disc. Green eye makeup adoring one character, red buttons on mad scientist equipment, or Eva's eyes, for example, all offer excellent color which stands out nicely in contrast to the generally dark locales. The animation doesn't offer much in the way of fine detail like Wall●E does, but the disc reproduces what there is to see nicely. There are plenty of scenes that feature thick fog and smoky interiors, and the disc never exhibits any banding or blocking in such scenes. The only thing holding back Igor, visually, is Igor. It looks very nice for what it is, but it just can't compete with material like Cars and Ratatouille.


Igor Blu-ray, Audio Quality

  Array of 5


Igor electrifies on Blu-ray with a quality DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack. This is a rather hefty soundtrack; it features plenty of bass, especially during the "mad scientists" moments where lighting strikes, thunder booms, and cackling scientists scream out for their latest inventions to rise. There are plenty of other sound effects that rumble and rattle and roll; a guest beating on a heavy wooden door and the resultant echoing throughout a cavernous mad scientist's lair, for example, sounds terrific, as do some scenes of mayhem (accompanied by a most unlikely tune) during the film's climax. There are some fine directional effects, too. Sound pans across the soundstage as characters move across the screen, and voices and effects are often heard distinctly from numerous corners of the soundstage. Dialogue reproduction is particularly strong; Eva's musical rehearsal at the end of chapter 10 is impressive, room filling, and offering pitch-perfect fidelity. Surround speakers enjoy plenty of action, too. Igor sports impressive sound design that translates very well to Blu-ray.
