A twist on the classic monster movie, “Igor,” set in a land of mad scientists and diabolical inventions, tells the story of an unusual figure, Igor, born with a hunch on his back. Sick of being a lowly lab assistant with a Yes Master’s degree, and dreaming of becoming a scientist, he decides to take matter in his hands.
Opportunity knocks, and Igor finally gets his chance, when his cruel master kicks the bucket a week before the annual Evil Science Fair. With the help of two of his experimental creations, Brain, a brain in a jar who’s a little light on brains, and Scamper, a cynical bunny brought back from being road kill, Igor embarks on building the most evil invention of all time, a huge, ferocious monster.
Unfortunately, instead of turning out evil, the monster turns out as Eva, a giant aspiring actress who wouldn’t hurt a fly.
Just when things can’t get any worse or heavier, Igor and his band of monstrous misfits uncover an evil plot that threatens their world. Now, they must fight to save it and prove that heroes come in all shapes and sizes.
Featuring the voices of John Cusack, Steve Buscemi, John Cleese, Jennifer Coolidge, Arsenio Hall, Sean Hayes, Eddie Izzard, Jay Leno, James Lipton, Molly Shannon and Christian Slater, “Igor” is an old-fashioned comedy made for the entire family.
“Igor” is directed by award-winning animation veteran Tony Leondis (“Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch”) and written by Chris McKenna (“American Dad!”). Exodus Film Group CEO John D. Eraklis produces along with seasoned animation executive and Exodus president Max Howard who has collaborated on such animated blockbusters as Disney’s “Lion King” and “Aladdin,” and Warner’s “Space Jam” and “The Iron Giant.”
