A 2008 CGI animated film that [[Pastiche|parodies and homages]] various horror movies. Set in Malaria, a country that thrives on [[Mad Science]], and where all hunchbacks have no choice but to become [[The Igor|Igors]]. The main character, however, has plans to break free from his station and become a [[Mad Scientist]] himself. His attempt at creating an [[
Igor's quest for glory is hampered by [[Fake Ultimate Hero|Dr. Schadenfreude]], who has won the Evil Science Fair every year by stealing the winning invention from an actual [[Mad Scientist]], and who sees Eva as his ticket not just to winning, but to taking control of the kingdom from King Malbert, who has a secret or two of his own. On top of that, Igor starts to develop feelings for Eva and begins to question the way the kingdom is run. Is being evil really their only option? And can a giant actress in a red dress really win the Evil Science Fair with showtunes?
