Igor

Ambition pointed at a monster, then corrected toward a person. Better than the poster.

Igors are supposed to be servants of evil scientists. This one wants the credit, which starts as vanity and turns into responsibility when his invention wakes up as a girl with a conscience. The evil science fair is a joke about a culture that rewards harm. The film picks the girl.

It is macabre in a cartoon way. Older children, not the nursery. The useful line is that a maker answers for what stands up and calls him by name.

The eight

  1. Industry

    7/10

    Invention is the plot. So is the credit, honestly wanted.

  2. Household

    5/10

    He becomes a guardian of what he made.

  3. Piety

    3/10

    A mockery of mad science, not a creed.

  4. Courage

    6/10

    He tells the truth in front of the fair.

  5. Republic

    5/10

    A kingdom that applauds the wrong experiment.

  6. Temperance

    6/10

    The will to be famous is checked by a person.

  7. Truth

    7/10

    The monster is a person. Pretending otherwise is the sin.

  8. Stewardship

    7/10

    He keeps her. That is the stewardship.
