“What’s this?” “What’s what?” “This little scar here.” “That… that there is from skateboarding.” “No!” “No what?” “You never skateboarded!” “After cracking my head and getting 6 stiches, no.” “I still don’t believe you.” “I was 6 at the time.” “Oh… well, what’s this one?” “That one is from impaling myself on my bike when I was about 10.” “You don’t do things by halves, do you?” “Pure accident.

Igor: Not Pixar-quality animation, not Shrek quality jokes, but a little endearing no less - Igor is slightly dark, slightly edgy, slightly different - but the problem is that it’s all slightly so.
