I have seen all the Adams family movies. And this one is so good. It stays true to the series but with its own twist. I saw both, I’m hoping they make a third!!!

When I saw that this movie was on Amazon Prime, I immediately said, “There’s an animated Addams Family movie on Amazon Prime!”

My roommate replied, “I heard it got some bad reviews. Something about too much toilet humor.”

I’ll admit I’m not overly fond of toilet humor as it’s usually both badly done and overdone, but I figured I could stop if it became a problem. And off I went!... into the bedroom so I could leave everybody else alone, and they could stop asking me where the spare sword was.

So, the pluses, in no particular order:
+ The characters were all built quite well, very close to the original black and white cartoons from Mr. Addams. Gomez is less dashing than the original live-action origination by John Astin, but I rather like going back to the original source material for a refresh.
+ How the characters came together, including the vignette at the beginning so reminiscent of various misadventures mentioned in previous Addams productions.
+ The little nooses in Wednesday’s hair! So cute!... wait, Wednesday, stay back, I didn’t mean it like that...
+ The animated touches. The various portions of the house and assorted monsters that were hinted at in previous live-action productions were shown in full animation. Down kitty!
+ Storyline was good, if relatively standard for older fans. The Addams remain dangerous in self-defense, as always, yet it’s nice to see the old weird interact with modern weird.
+ Keeping up with the tropes. Some stayed reliable oldies but goodies, while others added zing for old-time fans like Morticia getting flushed, Fester staying the ladies’ man, and Lurch singing accompaniment once.
+ Uhh... Wednesday, please put that knife back...!
+ A full cast of remote Addamses come together for a party, even more gloriously than in the 1990s movie.
+ The initial introduction of Lurch. That was short, but it was excellent.
+ The shot-for-shot animated remake of the original TV show intro... yeah, if I’d gone to the theater that would have been worth the price of admission right there.

And the minuses:
- The family car sounds and fumes were reminiscent of bathroom humor. There, I spoiled that for you.

All told, I really liked this movie. Of course, my tastes are not the same as everyone else’s; but if you like the original cartoons, I suggest giving this movie a good look.

I was hesitatnt to watch this movie based on the reviews because some people really slammed this movie. and as someone who is an Addams afficionado, as well as a naturally dark and cynical person I was expecting to hate it. I took the risk, and I am glad I did. It's a pretty good movie.
Like many others say, this movie is more true to Charles Addams and his original 1938 New Yorker illustrations. Anyone who knows the original comics will see this. The opening sequence shows Lurch as the Christmas tree, and Wednesday is instructed to "kick her father goodnight". The characters are also quite similar to the original, with Wednesday being the older sibling (fun fact Wednesday WAS the older sibling originally, and the exception was the TV show, though the original girl cast was 13 years old).
Also, they gave Pugsley some character. In the early 1990s movies, he was overshadowed by a very dark and morbid Christiana Ricci as Wednesday, and he fell into a near secondary character next to her strong dark demeanor. In this movie he has his own personality and storyline.
Gomez and Morticia were pretty good, more gothic and dark than passinate as in the past renditions, and they kept up the morbidity and sadism with the medivieval torture instruments and swords they're known for, I liked that, and they looked more like the Chas Addams characters, he being short and kind of greasy while she tall and very pale. Morticia did have the Carolyn Jones' walk as well in the tight dress. Fester was the funniest character, in my opinion, with his nonchalant attitude towards injuries and explosions. The main characters were actually pretty good. Grandma was an crazy old hag, Lurch an asylum escapee turned butler.
My issue was the plot. It's always the same, with the Addams eventually alienating the neighbors for one reason or another, but in this case the new neighbor was so happy and suburban most people would throw up daily living there. They pitted an extremely white bread neighborhood run by a rich reality HGTV type star with a dark, misunderstood family to once again show prejudice and ignorace against those that are different. In the TV the visitors were funny when the encountered the Addams's. This just seemed recycled with people just running off scared at first sight opposed to actually visiting the home. then of course there's the popular girl vs. Wednesday (remember the summer camp in the sequel?) It gets old. At least Pugsley had a more original subplot.
I would have liked to have seen some of the other family members from the Tv show at the family reunion, such as Morticia's sister ophelia. They were kind of just goofy side characters but they could have had a lot of fun with the extended family, as they did in the 1991 film.
However, the one thing I really hated about this movie was the ending (spoiler alert). I simply hated the ending of this movie and how they pied up the whole plot with a goofy, unrealistic "feel good" kind of weird and pointless truce where everyone just seemed to have a collective epiphany and played nice. It was just...dumb. No one was scared anymore, no unesiness, just everyone coming together in some sort of peace love harmony dribble that was pointless.
Finally, my favorite part was the spirit of the house. He hated the Addams and was just dumbfounded by them but the interactions with the spirit and the family were great. I recommend the movie for the scenes, but knocked some stars off for the plot.

We first saw this in the theatre, my wife and I. I was really not expecting much at all. An animated version of the Addams Family? Do we really need yet another reboot of past shows to add to an oversaturated market? As you can see, I solely went out of a desire to accompany my wife. Happy life, and all.

Well, I found myself to be pleasantly surprised. It is a fun film the whole family can enjoy. They were faithful to the original characters but, since not bound by flesh, they possessed a more creative, physical freedom in the animated world.

While the plot, itself, was tepid, at best, it was the individual characters, especially from the family, Addams, that breathed life into the film.

Plenty of solid, breezy humor was peppered throughout. Especially compared to the awful sequel that we recently saw. Do not base your assumptions of the first film in accordance with the forced, juvenile attempt at humor that was the second.

I recommend this movie. It is fun to see the family return to its cartoon roots. The bond the family shares is heartwarming, and the careful attention to detail with each member is worth seeing.
