The Addams Family is something that most of us grew up watching. Therefore, we have a good idea of what we envision the Addams family looks like and acts like. I was excited to see this new version to see how they would change the story or how the family acted or looked. Here are my thoughts on this new movie.
I really liked how you could easily tell which animated character went with the live version that many of us have seen. Morticia was tall and slender. Gomez had the iconic black hair and mustache. Wednesday had her dark hair in the familiar pigtails. Pugsley was the only one with light-colored hair. I will say that I did not like how Gomez was larger in size than what I am use to seeing. Wednesday’s head was also a strange shape, but I believe that it went with the idea of the family being strange. I am glad that they also kept familiar characters like Uncle Fester, Cousin It and Lurch. Cousin Itt was voiced by Snoop Dogg and was portrayed exactly as you would expect a character voiced by Snoop Dogg would be. Cousin Itt has always been my favorite because of his humor. Therefore, the character was great in my eyes. Lurch and Fester were also exactly as you would expect them to be in any movie. The townspeople in the movie were animated very well to look like everyday people, which is important to the plot of the movie.
My favorite part about this movie was the story line. The audience was able to see the life of the family as well as learn a valuable lesson-the lesson was one that everyone could apply to their lives, so I believe that it is important to recognize the lesson and take action. I believe that we could take the story and change a few things to make it exactly like something that would happen today. I like when movies do that, because you can see your life in it or at least see the possibility of a real story.
I would highly recommend going to see this movie before it goes out of theaters. It was worth going to see.
