The Addams Family faced mixed reviews, with some moviegoers and critics criticized the feature’s subpar animation and narrative elements, but praise the film for its character design and voiceover performances. Directed by Conrad Vernon and Greg Tierman, the film, which starred the voice talents Charlize Theron, Oscar Isaac, Chloe Grace Moretz, and Finn Wolfhard, tells the story of the Addams family, who move into an abandoned, derelict asylum in New Jersey, and make into their home struggling to maintain their strange and bizarre lifestyle when Wednesday ventures into the world outside and invites change into the Addams’s life. The second suggestion was accepted and there was usually a requirement for that dance, too.In 2019, MGM Studios released the animated film The Addams Family, a CGI cartoon film that was based on the iconic “creepy and kooky” macabre family from the classic TV show. Uncle Fester is usually the one to point out the reason the first suggestion should not be accepted, albeit sometimes Gomez and Uncle Fester found themselves in a role reversal (with Uncle Fester making the suggestion and Gomez pointing out the reason not to follow it).

is friends with Wednesday and Pugsley, inevitably leading to conflict between the families. Later episodes would introduce the series' most frequently recurring villains, an underwear-obsessed family named the Normanmeyers, who lived next door to the Addams and despised them for their lifestyle being an affront to typical suburban living (with the exception of their son, N.J.).Įpisodes dealing with the Normanmeyers usually involved Norman and Normina trying to rid Happydale Heights of the Addams Family or spying on the Addams N.J. The episode was aired out of production order, however, and relied on the viewers having seen previous episodes for context, thus leaving the audience in the dark as to why Uncle Fester had an arch nemesis. The first episode to air involved a plot against Uncle Fester by his "arch nemesis", a faceless gangster.

Two seasons were produced, and each half-hour episode comprised between one and three stories. This series differed from the previous Addams Family cartoon primarily in the character designs and voice acting.
