...Welp. What a shame. But maybe it was unavoidable, if even the first movie was a 50/50 split on reception... - Krátké a kreslené filmy
One thing I appreciate is that the designs are based on the original works. But somehow they made the “normal” people look even scarier than the adams family.
I know right?! These people look like characters from Big Mouth if the animators wanted to make them look more trippy.
TRUE
The normal people animations is a giant reason I don’t like this movie, they’re bizarrely hideous.
Lamo
Yeah I adore the actual family’s design, looks so spot on to the original works. But the background characters look SO bad. Why couldn’t they just use a design for background characters from the source material?
I’m still mad about how they did Morticia. She’d never bash on Wednesday like she did in the movie for wearing pink or smiling or deciding not to be as gothic.
When her kid came out “normal” in Values, she switched up his decorations in his room and started reading him cute stories instead of scary ones. Literally the most un-judgemental mom character having her traits flipped on their head for the sake of conflict. Sad.
Yet one more sin the movie committed.
You made me remember how my mom hates me for liking vocaloid instead of classical music lmao
It's an annoying change, because the Addams Family has always been portrayed as unconditionally loving and accepting in prior media. People hold up Gomez and Morticia as the ideal couple, but less spoken about is how they're also ideal parents.
An episode I remember from the original show has Pugsly going through a phase of wanting to be a boy scout, which his parents are disturbed by, but they seek advice and then do their best to involve themselves in their son's new interest despite how uncomfortable it is for them.
Not to mention what they did to Gomez as well, he was a highly educated man that dressed to a T and absolutely worshiped his wife. Now he is a blithering idiot that eats coffee grounds and kisses dead fish mistaking that for his wife’s hand? And a cheap shot of the movie was making his fatherly rolls just so bad.
That's what I said, and was also around the time I really stopped caring about the movie. They would normally have been overjoyed about their kids finding new interests and hobbies no matter how big or small and even encourage them to go for it, to experience the wonders of the world to their hearts content. It was always everyone else, the "normal" people, who would get in the way of that. Not the Addams's.
The saddest thing about this movie is how the character designs for The Addams actually look pretty spectacular . . . For a Stop-Motion Animated Movie. Not a Computer-Animated film.
aw man your right your totally right
Boost🎃
You're making me realize how cool The Addams family would have been as a stop motion...like live action, a stop motion film done right could get you into the space of their home and universe, the spooky atmosphere
I can't explain why but to me these character designs in computer animation seem more...annoying? I know in Coraline they had a ton of characters with crazy body proportions yet it doesn't come off as annoying or cheap (granted those character designs also went along with the character's personality) so perhaps they could have made the designs work in computer animation if it tied it more with their character (I have not seen the movie myself and this is just off of content covered in reviews, so I could also be completely wrong)
666th like 😏
stop motion animation can really deliver a good horror movie vibe. Just look at Coraline
The fact that Tim Burton could have made a stop motion film on the Adams family, but instead we got *this* is devastating
But at least Tim Burton got the chance to make an Addams Family project with the Wednesday series for Netflix, where he's going to be the director for each episode of the show.
@@santiago.j.mancilla.perez1022 really? Well, that's awesome then!
I'm really looking forward to Netflix's Wednesday. It already looks darker and riskier than these animated movies ever were. Now I get that a lot of people felt that Tim Burton lost his touch, but I have my fingers crossed that this show will be his return to form. 🤞
My thoughts exactly this was right up Tim Burtons alley but at least we are getting Wednesday on Netflix.
But its not like Tim Burton actually makes the stop motion stuff. He 'produces' it. Another, much better production company does the actual stop motion work, and someone else directs it as well.
I think the reason the jokes don’t always hit is because the Addamses never struggled with the modern world in the TV show or in the movies. Gomez was an active business investor that stuck strictly to the schedules of a financial year but had so much money that he didn’t notice he was being taken advantage of. Morticia was an active member of several social clubs and the Ladies’ Auxiliary and the school PTA. Pugsley and Wednesday went to school with regular kids. The family just was just so cheerfully different while also being wealthy and confident enough to get away with their eccentricities even in the face of “Good Old Fashioned America.” They were weird and proud and it didn’t matter if people understood them. When carolers show up at the door, the traditional and proper Addams greeting is a pot of boiling something on the head. An engagement means a bridal shower same as any other family, but the Addamses just put a special twist on it just by being themselves! And they support one another no matter what. So long as they are happy and using the right tools for their experiments, have at it family! Having the Addamses be hermits with a “no outside world” policy just doesn’t feel right and it doesn’t fit with why the Addams Family was such a hit.
As someone who has watched Adam's family Values I completely agree that it was a much better dynamic having the family just be themselves in stereotypical America.
not to mention that gomez delighted in being taxed, and was furious to find that the taxes on the house had gone down. so much so that he ran for mayor, and promised to raise taxes. the addamses were normal, if very eccentric people. they weren’t literal monsters as this movie tried to imply
@@j-pastel-yellow Like their whole ordeal was they were the "opposite" of the "normal" surban family. It's strange how many people don't get the joke.
@@BrightWulph Considering they were the first family on TV where the parents shared a bed, they got away with it by claiming they were an atypical family of the time.
Apparently the TV censors didn't catch that.
@mohamed zayan they were a lot more monstrous in the original comic, before they even had the name addams, but even there they were just kinda evil and creepy, not exactly monsters or anything. and once the 60s show came around, they were just ordinary people. the thing that really set them apart was how eccentric they were, and the very physical relationship between gomez and morticia. wednesday liked to play with headless dolls, pugsly liked knives and explosives, and fester was just generally kinda crazy. but behind all the spooky appearances, they were just a normal, loving family. to be honest, i think that a lot of families could learn a thing or two from the addamses
I love designs for the Addams’s and fits the characters and tbh the voice cast did an incredible job.
My issue is the “We’re scared that no one will accept us and the world is a cruel and dangerous place. We want our family to be safe and accepted” thing that The Addams’s were scared of.
Um…last I checked, the Addams’s didn’t care what people thought of them. Any insult or ill will was taken as a gesture of affection and kindness for them. They welcomed it!
I think in one of The Addams Family animated shows, a neighbor, who really hates them, insulted them and/or tried to get rid of them. And the Addams’s? They were so touched and honored that the neighbor “cared so much about them”
You're thinking of the Normanmeyers from the 90s animated series, and you're correct. The only member of that family who didn't hate the Addamses was their only son NJ.
LMAO I miss that animated series. I watched that one as a kid. Only voice I didn't think matched the character here was Morticia really. But I have bias since I grew up with Angelica Huston Morticia, even the original Morticia couldn't live up to that.
Right?
They were iconic for having those characteristics, and they have NONE of them in this movie 😔
@@sarahsims6164 The 90's show was the bomb, hands down one of the best incarnations of the show and characters. The animated series also has the best incarnation of Wednesday IMHO, as it captures more of the original TV series spirit and wasn't just trying to make a clone of the Christina Ricci rendition of the character which seems to be set in stone as the default version.
I remember the old, sitcom-esc show they had, and this movie is like the exact opposite of that. The Addams did. Not. Care. About whoever came to visit.
You're not going to bring up how the villain basically was forgiven for everything she did to try to kill the Addams Family and force her daughter and the residents living in her town to be normal or perfect? Probably one of the worst conclusions to a villain’s arc and redemptions in fiction.
Now I could see the Addams semi forgiving her quick if it was the old live action movies versions of them. But this version of the Addams doesn't fully go into what made the family lovable and forgiving like the live action did. I feel like they would have forgave Debbie if Pubert didn't kill her since they buried her in the family graveyard. But the towns people should have definitely ran her out of town.
Yeah the ending of that villains arc was weak.
Made worse that the 90s movies handled villains perfectly by the Addams not even really seeing the crimes they tried to commit as bad, more the fact the villains tried to break up the family which is seen as a much worse crime because they tried to 'Subdue' a chunk of the addams family. Sic Gorgiamus Allos Subjectatos Nunc indeed
And with fester
Yeah it’s like shooting someone and then putting a bandage on the wound
You know, Grandma is actually supposed to be Morticia’s mother and Gomez’ parents are dead. So the movie didn’t even get that right.
Actually in different incarnations of the Addams Family, the family relations change. In the original 1964 series, the 1998 - 1999 revival The New Addams Family, Grandmama is Gomez’s mother while in the films and the 1990s animated series she’s Morticia’s mom. They even lampoon this in the Broadway musical where Gomez is surprised she’s his mother and tells Morticia he thought she was *her* mother and Morticia states “She may not even be part of this family.”
that's been a matter of confusion since the tv series
Yeah, that kinda has a tendency to change with newer iterations, considering that not only was Grandmama Gomez’s mother in the original ‘60s show, but that Fester was originally Morticia’s uncle instead of Gomez’s brother. That family dynamic is somewhat malleable; what ISN’T malleable, however, is the family’s unconditional love and support for one another, even when faced with something that makes them uncomfortable, Gomez and Morticia being relationship goals (AND the implication that they’re kinky as all fuck, which tbf this movie sort of hints at, only as subtly as a modern PG rating will allow, possibly less), and the fact that the Addams give literally zero fucks about what anyone outside of the family thinks of them, their appearance, or their lifestyle choices. Wednesday having a non-goth phase could have made for a clever story arc, but this movie BUTCHERS every aspect of it! The family themselves are butting heads way more than they ever reasonably would be, and character traits and behaviours are ignored entirely for the sake of making a watered down, safe, bland mess of a movie that misses the entire point of the IP it wants to represent. Gomez wouldn’t give six fucks about tradition, just that his family is safe (for an Addams, at least) and happy (or the emotional equivalent of joyous for being an Addams).
Sorry this turned into a tangent, there is just so much this movie got wrong, my point being that who is related to whom is the least of the movie’s problems.
@@hunterolaughlin Which is like...the most Addams thing she could be. Just a crazy old witch who walked in one day and said she was their mother and everyone was like 'Oh ok! more family awesome!' which is hilariously how the Addams seem to treat most villains in the good movies.
@@therealCrazyJake Exactly. I would amend to say that Gomez does care about tradition, he loves the fuck out of their family traditions the same way some people love christmas. But he wouldn't care about messing them up. The joy of the tradition for him is just participating and getting to share it with those he loves, nothing to do with actually executing it perfectly. Accidentally getting impaled by a sword would probably be seen as a positive and failing to catch one or balance one would be funny as hell to him and everyone would have a good laugh and move on. I could see Gomez teaching his child how to do the dance but being upset that he gets it wrong? Never.
Probably the worst part of this film is what they did to Morticia. Having her have this stupid conflict with Wednesday is so incredibly against her character its jarring. And they could have had the conflict still revolve around that, but be because Morticia now feels like she doesn't know her own kids and is sad that she is possibly losing this connection to her daughter.
Like, that's what the Addams family does.
Personally I found it weirder that Wednesday was wanting to conform in the first place. Even with the Netflix show, despite her many issues with Morticia she still kept her basic personality and lashed out at anyone that tried to change her. Hell in Addams Family Values, those camp counselors tried to make her conform and she had them spit roasted over a fire.
There is a universe where this movie is well-written, faithful, stop-motion and has NO cheesy pop or rap music. It's the universe with bug ice cream and giant man-eating spiders, which makes the Addams Family there a bit more normal, but I'm angry I don't live there.
we need that into the spiderverse technology
@@rosalinamacarita01 Or filthy acts at a reasonable price.
To be far the live action movie had rap songs at the end credits so it doesn’t bother as much
Bug ice cream sounds dope, but I think I'll still stick to this universe, to dodge the spiders.
@@istvankarolyfarkas6125 eyy JoJo reference
You know they did something bad if the Adam family were considered the most normal people in the film
Isn’t this the same with the movies? I remember the camp scene, the “normal” people were unnatural. The Addams seemed more normal
2:05 - Okay, I'm barely familiar with The Adams Family (I think my only exposure to the franchise was seeing the live action movie once over 20 years ago and The Nostalgia Critic review of it a while back), but I feel like that's enough to tell me that this scene/joke feels wrong. Like, shouldn't her response to him comparing her hand to a dead fish while he kisses it be something more along the lines of "save the flattery for when we get home" or "You always know JUST what to say"? I feel like that would've been a more appropriate joke to make here rather than an unfunny sight gag. It's like they sacrificed character development for the sake of humor, and poor humor at that.
On the side of humor, I almost expected her response to be “Darling, that’s Thing” as opposed to just kissing a dead fish
@@nanamintown honestly, THAT would of been better than what they ended up doing here
@@nanamintown Honestly, if they felt like they needed a sight gag for this scene, I wish they had gone with your idea, it's much funnier and fits the characters better IMO. Maybe change the line to her saying something like "I wish you'd sweet talk ME like that" and then it pans down to reveal that he's been whispering sweet nothings to Thing instead of her.
Honestly, a Tim-Burton-helmed, stop-motion Addam’s Family movie probably could’ve been Illumination’s best work if they went through with it. It honestly would’ve fit with the theme of the Addam’s Family much better, sorta like what Burton did for The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Yes, but Tim is working on Wednesday, but i think Sam Ramai would work too
Harry selick directed nightmare before christmas
Animated movies get redone as live action: *Often terrible*
Live action classic get turned into animation: *Often terrible*
Ayo, uh, Hollywood? Other movie companies? Maybe slow down on the remake, eh?
how ironic
i love how ppl forgot what made the original of something good in the first fricking place, thanks to greed and apathy. truly, I do.. not lol. At all
The whole turning The Addams Family into an animated property has been done way better way earlier, especially when they brought back John Astin to voice Gomez.
"Was this movie written by three people and only one of them was good?"
I've never heard such a succinct and funny way to describe enjoying something you hate so much.
I actually think pinkafying the house near the end was a really neat reference to the colour of the house the series originally filmed at. But of course, being in black and white on film, it didn't really matter too much
IIRC the house and interior set was so luridly coloured was to have the colours "pop" onscreen in the old black and white TV show.
@@BrightWulph to furthet ellaborate: If it was red and black then their clothes would have blended in with the background making it impossible to see what was happening. They went with pink because it was easy to estimate the amount of "pinkness" to the amount of "darkness" it was supposed to represent on film and because it still had that "red fealing" to it
I don't like the fact that they made the Addams Family hate "normal" families. They never hated normal people. They found them weird, but never actually stopped their kids from investigating the regular world. And they loved their "normal" child when he was born.
Fun fact: at the end of the movie the house is painted pink as a reference to the fact that the house in the black and white house was painted pink to make it pop out more on screen
the annoying part about the movie, especially with Morticia is when they where made the Addams family was meant to be the opposite of most families, parents who loved each other, supported their kids. It's a great concept but they just BUTCHERED it here, TWICE, because there's a sequel that's a roadtrip movie
I didn't think body limbs on animated characters could get anymore skinny, but this year's "Marmaduke" proved me wrong, yeesh.
“oh no, she’s cringe” had me laughing way harder than it should have
The worst thing about this movie was the twist villain
Like the plot of the movie is trying to normalize things that seem weird to others (aka the Addams) the movie didn't need a villain at all, the movie could have just been the Addams trying to fit in with the other people
I agree, the whole thing ended up feeling like a set up for a TV spin-off that never got off the ground. What with all the different threads like Parker living with her mum and the whole bully BS that gets resolved far too quickly and Wendesday quickly becoming a "queen" at school etc. And that's not even touching Pugsly's plot or the teen growing pains between Wednesday and Morticia or Gomez and Pugsly.
Like it's a servicible plot, but it's just too much for a film.
*Addams
@@Ganonussyszestygorillagrip sorry lol
Absolutely! The movie would have been so much better if the plot was just Wednesday trying to be "normal" and at the end she realizes being different is a good thing or whatever, it didn't need the whole villain plot or even Parker in the movie at all
I think a problem with a lot of the jokes you’re describing is the delivery. For example: That “surfing the web” one had the potential to be funny had Morticia been self-aware of how dumb of a joke she was making. Like, halfway through of just silently walking across the bridge, she gives the other people a funny look and says “Hmphf. Surfing the web. Get it?- hahah, terrible.” Or something like that.
Morticia has always kinda had “dad” humor, it’s always been a sort of minor trait of the whole family (in the original series’ anyway), I just think the DELIVERY and SETUP is more what is falling flat than the actual jokes themselves, if that makes any sense. Dad jokes can be really funny if you write them right.
Idk that would probably be less funny
She makes Gothic dad jokes sure but she's never all that concerned if people find them funny, she just makes the pun and moves on.
@@bigbearkat2010 Exactly. In this one it feels like she actually wants a response, which doesn’t really suit her. Morticia’s character is the definition of apathy.
Finally somebody that agrees. The Addams family 1991 cannot be beat.
I think everyone in the world agrees that OG Addams will remain the pinnacle.
@@irionuchiha3823 I mean if you wanna talk OG Addams you have to go much further back than the 90s but i get your meaning.
The one in the 60s was better
No one will ever top Raul Julia's Gomez.
@@SoggySlopster you are right i liked that version of the adams family
They legit made a Karen a villain for a Adams family movie
This just isn't the Addams Family. Despite being os gothic, they don't let any amount of negativity get them down: it's maybe their most important defining trait. I once saw a post that said if there was a revolution to kill the rich, the Addams would insist on being next, no no, it's an honor you see. They'll even provide the means to do it. Gomez was feeling awfully left out when he saw all the other billionaires get the axe. "Some people have all the fun," he said. That's the kind of people they are, and I agree fully with it.
They made Morticia judgmental when she's actually the most supportive mother ever.
Just rude
The designs for the “normal” characters are just… wrong. It may have worked if they went in the more traditional cutsie direction or if the studio actually went in the stop motion route while keeping this design. But it’s very much an “either or” situation
One thing I don't understand is why this big creepy house is even there in the first place. Shouldn't the villain character have decorated it or torn it down ages before the Addams family arrived, when she started decorating the town?
i don't think the town was even there at the time
Look at this show, that's mocking the toxic portrayals of TV families! It was so new and subversive by making the family love and support each other trough anything!
LET'S MAKE A MOVIE WHERE THE MAINS CONFLICTS ALL COME THE FAMILY MEMENRS NOT ACCEPTING OTHER FOR WHO THEY ARE!
The show literally did the whole plot - kids going to school and Pugsley wanting to be 'weird scout boy' and did it BETTER. Withing like first 5 episides I think.
It was literally the second episode.
This movie sucks.
@@therealCrazyJake Yeah... here's hope that the Wednesday show will be less terrible at least?
A shame as I got excited about this movie and saw it, then my mother mentioned the original show from the 60s and actually watched all 16 episodes, then I saw how bad of an effort this movie actually was. Gomez was a highly intelligent and very well put together man that dressed just so crisp, morticia was very well put together and was of equal intelligence to Gomez and both absolutely head over heals for each other. The kids have much more depth than the animated version and lurch was a charming though shy character in the story. And thing you can tell was a human hiding in a cabinet or piece of furniture but had its charm as well. The writing was also just really good and the Addams where definitely more morbid but in a wholesome way. Also, the animated feature kept the “French doing something to Gomez “ was hopefully subtle enough for kids but the nostalgia hit for the parents
ALL 16 episodes?
It has 64 of them!
That dead fish gag is actually a pretty standard Addams joke. 😂
The only character I liked in this film was Uncle Fester, from his singing to making his head go 360 degrees
He was not as funny in the sequel
uncle fester solos no matter what
Just got the most perfectly timed add brake of all time, after the line: and she's her daughter and gives the news that- and then it cuts to the "vaping can deliver toxic fumes into your lungs" commercial
LMAO
Omg same, but for me after “gives the news that-“ it cut to an ad where a woman says “if I don’t get dialysis twice a week, I’ll die.” So dark but so unintentionally hilarious
I had a scary realization at the "your parents will know that reference! Give us a good review" line. I got annoyed that Dazz would say that about Mr. Rodgers because that was something I- and probably he- grew up with. My mom would only know the song because of me watching it as a kid.
And then I realized that *I'm* the one who they're making that reference for. *I'm* the parent who was dragged to the theater by my kid that doesn't exist because I'm infertile. I'm a thirty year old aunt with a seven year old niece. There are people who I went to high school with who has 15-17 year old children today.
This fucking review gave me an existential crisis.
Just don't have a crisis.
Oh God no, this can't be your first Addams Family experience! Watch some episodes of the 1960s TV show, STAT!
Only thing I like about this movie is that when it came out you could get a giant 'limited edition' cookie for like $1 ($0.5 U.K / U.S I think) but dang those cookies were the best cookies I ever had.
The characters in the town look like those characters in the terrible Marmaduke movie.
oh my god they do wtf
True
Based on the dangerously thin bodies
I went to an outdoor viewing of this, thinking it was the 90s film. One of the kids tripped and pulled the screen down, and that was our chance of escape!
The person who made The Nightmare before Christmas could have made the Addams family, why has God forsaken us.
Honestly I literally cannot think of a better director to be at the helm of an Addams Family than Tim Burton. Maybe that’s why I’m optimistic about the upcoming Wednesday series made by him for Metflix.
that was henry selick
This movie is iffy, but I will argue to my grave that the New Jersey joke is hilarious lol
It was hilarious
Could have been Ohio 💀
Honestly I really liked the designs for the Addams themselves, but the "normal" people designs in the movie are either boring or ugly or both, with no inbetween
I do get why certain staples get animated, there is only so many times you can recast someone as a character before it gets weird or meaningless. So animating the characters makes a ton of sense. Mr. Bean has remained ageless because of the animated show.
The biggest difference being that the animated Mr. Bean is at least mostly true to the original humor and intention(especially since Rowan himself was voicing the character as long as possible).
Do we still need movies about accepting people? Have people really not gotten it so hard that we need to make every other movie about it? It feels so dirty to be using the Adam's family like this. Arent they like a celebration of the weird and macabre? Do we really need to put THEM in this kinda situation? To the point that we have someone ATTACK THEIR HOUSE WITH BOULDERS JUST FOR BEING DIFFERENT?!?!?! That feels like spitting on their legacy
Somebody on Twitter asked people to list abusive relationships that people love, and after I said "basically any couples from the silent or boomer generation on TV" I made a realization.
Morticia and Gomez being millennial parents just wouldn't work. Part of what made them stand out for their time (both the comic and the 60's live action sitcom) is that they are absolutely in love with each other. It was made in an era where one of the most quoted lines from television was from Ralph threatening to beat his wife every time she was sarcastic and that was treated as being a beloved, classic joke. "I hate my wife" was relatable to the silent and boomer generations. Divorce was practically unheard of to them.
These days it's taboo *not* to get a divorce if you hate your spouse. Why the fuck would you subject yourself to living with somebody who you hate?
We live in a generation where living with your significant other before getting married is encouraged. Millennial divorce rates are some of the lowest in generations- not because it's seen as taboo to leave, but because you had time to experience that generations before you (besides maybe gen x) did not.
I don't want to toot my generation's own horns, but Gomez and Morticia's relationship is normal these days. And in a way that's kind of beautiful- the fact that loving your spouse was seen as "weird" is finally normalized. But that's why Gomez and Morticia being millennials wouldn't work- because their love for each other is normal.
But it'd just be really fucking miserable watching the main couple hate each other so I'm glad that they seemed to have kept that part in.
I wouldn't say their relationship is normal. It's still incredibly difficult to find that endless love and undying unconditional support, the romance, and that deep understanding of one another that they have.
"millennial divorce rates are some of the lowest in generations" yeah, that's because millennials are just starting to marry. Did you forget to turn on your brain this morning?
To quote Nick from 24 Frames of Nick:
"I have no idea why every human in this movie is so insanely skinny or so *fat!"*
Your sass and absolute hatred of these terrible movies are the only things that make them interesting. Thank you so much ❤please carry on!!!
I was dragged to watch this with my mum in the cinema. One of the worst things I've seen
Im so sorry
its cool man, I've recovered from the trauma
@@critical_hit_0050 good to hear
Rip
Please say you didn't forgive her...
I’m 23 and I fondly remember mr Roger’s neighborhood then again I was old enough to see the final seasons of the show as a young kid.
“Everything these days is getting an animated rerelease and so many of them are just BAD”
**thinks of Monster High**
jokes aside, i hate how they removed the old show from Netflix 💀
Cheaper to do animations and voice acting than to pay for live actors, sets, props, makeup, extensive crew, etc.
You know who did “perfect town vs creepy family” plot better? ZOMBIES. THE ZOMBIES MOVIE BY DISNEY.
Which is honestly depressing since the Zombies movies have such a banger soundtrack
I watched the first one with my fiance and we almost died between the awkwardness and surprisingly horrifying implications haha
The rapping at the end was the worst part of the movie XD
1000% true
Lol I’m glad you noticed about the piano keys. I wasn’t all that interested in the movie when I saw it, but I watched the keys like a hawk anytime they were on screen (I was music-obsessed at the time and had picked up the ability to notice in movies when the instruments weren’t played accurately with the music… in addition to that, I also remember watching the keys played in this movie and then coming home and playing the sequences myself, just to make sure they were accurate to what I saw).
In short, the piano keys being accurately animated was one of the only things I liked about the movie lol
As a kid who grew up with the Addams Family movies when I was 12 and 14 in the early 90's,
please watch those movies. Those movies and the old Addams Family sitcom are worth watching.
You'd have a much better idea of how cool they are from watching them.
little did he know Tim Burton would make WEDNESDAY and save the Addams family
"What a relatable hand " -_-
No one tell him that they get rid of the noose pigtails in the sequel.
DAZZ DON'T READ THIS
Hold up they got rid of them!?that the only thing I liked about Wensday whenever she came on screen I just stared at them
The humans arms look like breadsticks
And this demonstrates why illumination is the animation kiss of death
Literally only one joke landed for me and it was at the very end. Where fester is introducing his new girlfriend.
I was using this as background noise, but then I heard the Danganronpa music and then stopped doing my homework and gave this my full undivided attention
Whats silly is the design aspects of the characters make sense. The addams family are 'weird' but to them the outside onlookers are the weird ones. The problem tho is that I can tell the designs were made for a 2d look. Or st least their concepts were designed that way. The super exaggerated features I think wouldnt be as jarring in 2d. But in 3d...the proportions are just too weird ESPECIALLY since they dont USE those to their advantage. The character deaigns can be off the wall in the Transylvania series because the energy and movement in them feels cartoony. So the designs lend well to the action of the characters. Here...everyone looks crazy but are also stiff. So it comes across just....odd.
Lurch playing the theme to Mr Rogers Neighborhood it makes me miss the show and Fred Rogers that much more
I remembered kinda looking forward to this movie, I was a senior at a time, until I saw the designs of the "normal" characters and that's what got me to stray away from this movie for good
8:05
That isn't an Addams family reference, that's a Mr. Roger's Neighborhood reference
I have to admit when I heard Dangonronpa music in the background during the video, a wave of nostalgia hit me. Okay, it might have been about three years since I played that game but it sure invoked a lot of emotions in me that almost distracted me from watching this review.
It is a pretty fun video though and I look forward to you covering the sequel.
The red baloon was used a lot in marketing for this film. It feels like it was inserted entirely to ride on the back of IT's popularity. IIRc it released shortly after IT chapter 2
They really could’ve used the modern people to counter the vintage aesthetic of the Addams, but that’s far from this movie’s problems
16:07 - 16:10 somebody please make this a meme
For a second I thought Caddicarus had made a quick cameo there
"Oh no. She's cringe." -DazzReviews 2022
''I'm not locked up in here with you. You're locked up in here with me.''
Wednesday, you are no Rorschach.
The sad part is, there is the bones of an interesting film here. Adams move from their home to the USA, seclude themselves (except Lurch who would have to buy groceries and stuff), and don't even notice the town, and all the normal suburban folks feel threatened by the spooky. folks who live in the house on the hill. Bam easy enough story right there.
Excuse me NO ONE disses Mr Rogers
Personally I really think the Addams family only works in live action. It makes all the absurd actions like throwing knifes and less impactful when it’s a cartoon. Like all cartoons are like this so it takes the impact away
I’m gonna be honest, when I was flying on a plane I remember watching this movie and thinking that is was actually pretty good.
Just in time for Halloween 🎃! Thanks Dazz!
There is better options
The "oh no..., she's cringe" caught me so off guard, I love this place :]
i was actually waiting for you to review this one!!
As a woman named Parker myself (I'm also a 3d character animator) it hurts me that these characters designs are so...um, interesting. I attempted to watch the movie earlier this October, and I made it about thirty minutes before I shut it off.
One of the only compliments I had for the movie was somehow they knew to put ambient occlusion in the corners. And that was about it. Everything else is atrocious, and I don't wanna share my name with that character.
I hate when animated facial features are all on the same plane 😭 they look like squished pug faces
Yea like why are the human designs so weird? One of them legit has a traffic cone for a nose
Loving the uploads dazz!!! keep up the good work!
2:54 No one told me there's a foot fetish joke in this movie 10/10
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
WE COULDVE HAD A TIM BURTON ADAMS FAMILY
:(
I despise this version of the Addams.
The Addams family is in a way the perfect family like they care for each other, they support each other at every turn, Gomez and Morticia have the ideal love life for crying out loud but this version is just a stupid mock up of their dynamic.
Also I know it's technically in line with the comic design but I can't get over Gomez's design, for me it's probably the worst one. I might be too nostalgic towards Raul Julia's Gomez but I adore that version of him, the slick and joyful business man with passion in every word that he was is just too good.
Oh and the design of every "normal" person looks like they were held at gun point by a blind person to create designs that looked good for them and the blind lunatic just stopped randomly at this ones.
The villain had to be the worst character and even her daughter being emo too. Ugh!
Wednesday was annoying in the sequel especially
I also hate how she wasn't punished for her actions even after Wednesday and Parker revealed to the townsfolk how she had security cameras illegally planted in their homes and she ranted how they were nothing but extras for her town and was captured live and resulted in her show getting canceled and just redeemed herself after getting into a relationship with Fester, who she initially hated and was trying to kill.
@@hunterolaughlin Both movies are weird. And not in an interesting kind of way either.
The best part of the character designs was Wednesday's noose twin braids. Honestly, as much as the rest of the film didn't hit for me, the character designs and Chloe Grace Moretz as Wednesday balanced it out a bit for me.
"Honey! New DazzReviews video has been released! And It's part of the 'Terrible' series!"
"Snappable, and rollable!" I SCREAMED
I still have the “koombiya my lord-“ song in my head from the GOOD adams family movies😂😂
The best part of this movie was the Thing looking at feet for no freaking reason on the computer, that actually caught me off guard when it came on this video. Fun fact: the British Sonic 3 guidebook canonically says that Glove on a Stick from Hydrocity Zone is canonically better than The Thing from The Addams Family. And yes, it is real.
If nothing else, pleeeeeease watch the two 90s movies, they're amazing.
honestly the way they animated the ''normal'' people made me uncomfortable the entire movie, I felt like they where staring into my soul
I adored the Addam’s family and…no, none of this is right.
I can't believe they didn't just make another live action film. I mean seriously, Oscar Issac as Gomez?
The only thing I liked was how they got Lurch in the crew.
I will never get over Oscar Isaac being in this shitty animated movie, when he would've been an AMAZING live action Gomez. Have you seen the him with a pencil thin mustache and eyeliner?? Perfection.
i love how good animation stuff get bad life action remakes and good life action stuff gets bad animation remakes lol
I would’ve liked it if the twins had more interaction with Wednesday and she gives them a makeover to look like the Grady twins!
It makes me wish for the Tim Burton stop motion animation. Essentially, this movie is what Nightmare Before Christmas would look like without stop motion and the writing is horrible.
I didn't realise this was you until I heard the voice. I'm glad I still watch you, your voixe just feels so nostalgic and I love it! Thank you for making all this wonderful content.
With that epic cast, this is probably the one time I’d have preferred a live action film over animation.
