This is an animated movie based on the original TV series that debuted way back in 1964.
There have also been many different spin-offs of
“The Addams Family” over the years including two movies, TV movies and several cartoons.
This movie takes place during the current times with all of the bells and whistles of our technology and social media complete with all of the creepy, kooky, mysterious, spooky and all together ooky details that
 “The Addams Family” is famous for.
The original cast is back reprising their unique roles.
It begins with Gomez (Oscar Issac) and Morticia (Charlize Theron) at their wedding ceremony and suddenly things get strange and they are whisked off and end up at their amazing “Addams Family” mansion. Then the story begins 13 years later with both Pugsley (Finn Wolfhard) and Wednesday (Chloe Grace Moretz) as children trying to fit in and establish friendships with the neighborhood kids.
Pugsley is busy embarking on achieving his Barmitzvah-type initiation while he would rather be shooting off bombs. His parents have invited all of their unusual relatives to their home to witness Pugsley’s big event.
Also in the mix is a new character, Margaux Needler (Allison Janney) who is a busy body real estate developer who is suspicious of “The Addams Family”  and is not at all happy with their lifestyle.
It was fun to see all of the original details brought back to life including the characters, their lifestyle, music, and just the overall resurrection of the series that I loved so much as a child.
The animation and details were a lot of fun.
I think children and adults alike will enjoy this fun movie and just in time for Halloween.
Parents be advised: This movie is rated PG. I didn’t find anything objectionable it just has a more contemporary and modern feeling with dark overtones.
I am giving “The Addams Family” two bags of popcorn.
