- 匚卂尺ㄥFebruary 11, 2025The classic characters from Charles Addams cartoons, who were on tv back in the 60's and then movies back in the 90's, return once again. This time in a cgi animated movie. This does what no Addams family version has done before, and fill in their backstory. We see how Gomez and Morticia first got together, then how they moved to their house. And then how their neighbours had to get used to them. One in particular really doesn't want them around the neighbourhood, and hatches up a scheme to get rid of them. In the meantime, others have things to get used to as well... This looked from the trailer as if it was going to be one of those 'accept yourself for who you are' movies, and it does go down that road. But the message doesn't overwhelm. Because it never forgets to be proper Addams family with it. It is absolutely creepy, cooky, and altogether ooky as it should be. Lots of visual and verbal humour results from this. The animation is stylised and excellent with it, really suiting the tone of the piece. The cast are great as well. The real standout is Oscar Isaac as Gomez, who gets into the part so much, putting so much effort into his performance, he really commands the attention and thoroughly entertains. But everyone else is great as well. One supporting character does get slightly lost towards the end of the film, as the narrative can't really fit them in, but that's only a minor complaint. This is a great new lease of life for these characters, and well worth watching. There's nothing extra during or after the end credits, but there is one delightful homage right before them. It's pretty much suitable for all ages, as there's nothing really scary in it. Although the very young aren't going be able to follow the story. So let's say six and up is probably best.
