The Roku Channel is streaming one of my favorite kids’ movies for free

Looking for a movie to watch with the kids that won’t make you feel like your teeth are rotting from the sweetness? Want it to stray from the beaten path a bit? “Igor” might be just the hidden gem you need — and the best part is, it’s available now to stream for free on The Roku Channel.

This 2008 kids’ comedy quickly became one of my favorites after I gave it a chance outside of Halloween. Initially, a bargain bin Walmart find, its crisp animation lured me in and Louis Prima soundtrack hooked me.

Now I watch it once a year to put a big grin on my face, no matter the season. It’s the perfect gothic fairy tale for family movie night or anyone in the mood for something different. And it’s a little sassier than you might expect.
