      If Mel Brooks were to team up with Tim Burton, the result might be something like the loony and colorfully tantalizing animated film Igor.

      Although the visuals tantalize and the actors providing the voices add a lot of sass, the result is only so-so.

      The visuals are a kick; the groan-inducing dialogue isn't.

      Though it has clever moments, it doesn't come close to the polished animation, wit and originality of the big green guy (Shrek).
