Monsters and Mantis style

It’s always good to see when a new CG animated film strikes a slightly different tone from the avalanche of animals and ogres – so Igor, from The Weinstein Company looks like a breath of fresh air and a lot of fun.

John Cusack voices an Igor, the standard servant to a mad genius who decides he’s sick of the switch-pulling game and wants to create his own invention. Of course, he’s not exactly great at it… Pull the switch to see the trailer at Yahoo .

Meanwhile, the team who, ahem, brought us the avalanche of animals and ogres (DreamWorks Animation) are back with… animals – but these animals know kung fu! Which automatically makes them cooler. Kung Fu Panda is their latest release and you can take a look at the trailer .
