Looks like it could be an interesting film to me.

By the way, is it just me or does John Cusack sound a lot like Albert Brooks (Marlin in Finding Nemo), in the trailer?

I knew he sounded familiar. I checked IMDB and the only other animated voice John Cusack has done is Anastasia. So I was confused. Then I saw your post and yeah, he sounds a LOT like Albert Brooks.

another celebrity stuffed kiddie movie...following the dreamworks tradition...

why not make animated movies that all ages can enjoy...

I agree with Josh and Mac about John Cusack sounding like Al Brooks...In fact I was watching a movie starring Cusack a while ago and kept wondering if he did the voice for Marlin.

Anyway, Igor looks like it could go either way to me.

*laughs* I was trying to figure out the voice the whole time, of course from Anastasia (I <3 that movie).

Movie has an interesting idea, I'm not sure how it will actually fare.

I'm really not sure what to think about this movie. It looks kinda like a Tim Burton wannabe.

Land of Malaria? Sounds like a disease!

I still have hopes for this, even if there's too much redundant hitting and it does look a bit Happily N'ightmare Before Christmas.

Um, yeah, kinda.

On the upside though, this not being a Dreamworks CGI (and just a rag-and-bones Weinsteins scavenge, from an indie producer), it actualliy looks sorta go...like it might be kind of funn...well, it looks like it won't stink, anyway.

Which is the upper tier of compliments that you can give a non-Pixar CGI comedy, nowadays.

Thanks WJ. I was worrying that might have been waaaaay too far over people's heads to pick up!

It looks interesting, and as a Cusack fan I'd see it anyway. But after seeing this behind the scenes featurette, I'd love to see it as a traditionally animated film.

Thanks so much for the link - great featurette! And welcome, The Zany Bishojo Evalana.

I'm eager to see how Igor does this weekend. In my opinion, the trailer looked pretty good. However, I'm wondering if the distracting pink widescreen bars shown during Igor's commercials have turned some people off of the film.

EDIT: Oops! I just saw an ad for Igor, and the bars were purple, not pink.

I've noticed that myself. The pink bars just look stupid as far as I'm concerned.
