So bad you would have thought illumination made it

If Guillermo Del Toro saw this, he’d say “I don’t believe in cinema”.

One of the great tragedies of modern animation is that something like 65% of the animated movies released stateside feels more like a pitch for a cheaper-looking Netflix kids series than an actual movie with ideas, jokes, and something like a compelling emotional core. This is not the worst of that cadre by any means but it remains a prime example of that kind of marketing-forward thinking.

my heart: 🧡🍂🎃🌙🖤💀👻☠️🤡🧶

One of the most boring, unnecessary, bland, useless, and laziest movies I have ever seen. Who the fuck asked for this?!

Is it possible for a hand to have a foot fetish?

2019's The Addams Family is your typically generic and passable animated film with just enough solid messages and entertaining bits for us to enjoy. Easily forgettable tho.

The animation looks like it would perfectly suit a Nickelodeon show circa 2008 that only lasted one season.

"Do your worst." -Gomez Addams 

Dark yet colorful, The Addams Family is an animated version of the well-loved TV show. I'm surprised that it's targeted to children, however most of the morbidity will go over their heads, I'm sure. 

With top-notch vocal talent from Oscar Isaac, Charlize Theron, Chloë Grace Moretz, Snoop Dogg, Allison Janney, Bette Midler, Elsie Fisher, and others, it's thoroughly entertaining and not to be missed if you like your humor black as night.

Omg yes the gang is BACK y’all. We got Mr. and Mrs. Addams, Frankenstein’s monster(?), severed hand thing, Wednesday, Gramps, Bucksby (Bugsby? Puggy?), a walking wig man...

Okay fine I don’t know anything about The Addams Family, and after this I DEFINITELY don’t want to know more. This movie was a plague to my eyes, I can’t even express how much I disliked it. I honestly hated even looking at it.

If you’re someone who pays to go see this in theaters, I’m so sorry.

...

this should have been a live action. what a waste of oscar isaac’s pretty face :(

Not horrible.

Talk about an embarrassment to a legacy

they are my favorite family and I feel that this movie does so little honor to that, disappointed

i enjoyed this movie more than i thought i would. it was funny & heartwarming. the idea about being yourself is important & i am glad it was in there.

Why'd they make Gomez so thicc tho

How dare you stand where he stood.

I did it! I actually did it! I finished The Addams Family and it only took me three months of intense procrastination. I had initially planned an Addams marathon back in October, but it didn't take long for me to realise that this poor excuse of a comedy was less than deserving of its title. It's a shame really because animation should have been a perfect fit for this wacky world.

Where’s the flavor :(

one time watchable...

some girl in my class is watching this and it looks like shit

When I saw there was to be an animated re-make, I pictured it to be a mixture of the timelessness of their previous films and the entertainment of The Nightmare Before Christmas - fun for the whole family. I was not in the least bit entertained. The story line was definitely created for children, depicting the importance of inclusion/acceptance and family bond. Which I'm sure is very important for the younger generations. Yet I just was unable to connect with my long-standing enthusiasm for the Addams family during this movie.
