Igor Review
Igor is a nice little movie to take your kids too - as long as you don’t mind a discussion about death afterward. I took my oldest (8 years old) to see this PG movie and it was a little darker than I would like. Fortunately, he’s not suicidal. Unfortunately, an immortal cat in the movie is. He squashes himself, blows himself up and gnaws off his limbs all the while damning Igor who had made him immortal. My son wondered why the guy didn’t want to live.
How exactly do you explain suicide?
I said, I’ll tell you when you’re older.
Now there’s a great little line I like to use to sidestep any issue.
Anyway - the movie is dark but good. By the time we roll around to the end, the moral of the story become apparent and there is a storybook ending - even if it is a bit Frankensteinish.
