Igor (2008)

From scene one, the visual tone was set. I found myself thinking that this would be what might happen if Tim Burton and Dr. Seuss built a world together (that’s the dark Seuss, not the light-hearted Seuss of Horton Hears a Who). I happen to adore animation that mixes very shiny, illustrative characters with soft, painterly sets and backgrounds. I like that kind of contrast – when it works. In this case, it works.
