Igor
Director: Tony Leondis
Actors: John Cusack, Molly Shannon, Steve Buscemi
PlotIn the dark land of Malaria, where evil scientists are the elite and their creations are the stuff of nightmares, the story follows an unusual Igor. Unlike the typical hunchbacked assistants who labor under mad scientists, this Igor dreams of becoming an inventor himself. He's tired of living in the shadows, doing menial tasks, and wants to prove that he can be as innovative and diabolical as the best of them. However, in a society that judges individuals by their physical appearance and predetermined roles, Igor's aspirations are laughed at and dismissed by his peers.
Seizing an opportunity to change his fate, Igor secretly works on his own invention in the hopes of winning the annual Evil Science Fair, a prestigious event where the most wicked of scientists showcase their inventions. His creation, however, is far from the malevolent being he intended. Instead of a monstrous creature, Igor brings to life Eva, a giant but gentle being who possesses a passion for acting. Faced with the challenge of convincing Eva to be evil while keeping her true nature hidden from his malevolent peers, Igor embarks on a comedic and heartwarming journey of self-discovery, friendship, and the pursuit of one's true purpose beyond societal expectations.
