Will never be topped
She'll never be topped, but I feel like Christina Ricci would do a great job. I think Houston has a regal quality to her that can't be topped, but Ricci does dark really, really well.
Remarkable that nobody else has commented on this.
Either I'm way too old or most people don't know the Addams Family outside of the movies. Probably both.
"PLEASE I BEG YOU...TAKE MEEEEEEE" at the staircase after Pubert's illness which could possibly turn him into a lawyer is amazing.
And let's not forget how insanely great Debbie, The Temptress Of Waikiki is.
I didnt even realize this was being made. Didnt really get a great feeling from the trailer. The movie from the 90's was great so this has a lot to live up to for me.
Honestly I think the charm of Adams family is the specific mix of live action actors committing to the cartoonish stuff with 100% sincerity. Their insanity was held up by the way that Raul and Angelica genuinely looked over the op in love with each other.
Just straight up making a cartoon loses nearly all of that, especially when there's better "horror people living in a mansion" cartoon movies and kids shows out there.
I get as well that it's supposed to be emulating the original comic strip but that had a whole different tone than this movie is going for anyway.

This is like some exec says we need to get on the Hotel Transylvania money train and some other exec said they had the Adams Family IP. and no one questioned if it was good or bad. And the joke about It was just flat.
The last good animated Adams Family was done by Hannah-Barbara, in that Scooby Doo movie

I was looking forward to this. Seeing it look like absolute shit is disappointing to say the least.
Wednesday looks like she's in the wrong aspect ratio compared to the rest of the characters and it drives me fucking bonkers.

Those movies, especially the second one are pretty much perfect. Chris Lloyd absolutely NAILS the role of Fester.
Another line that cracks me up:
Our Amanda's already skipped two grades. How 'bout your boy?
Gomez : Probation!
In the Latin American dub they changed "probation" with "he's fat!", which I find equally hilarious due to the tone the voice actor uses.
I DEMAND JUSTICE
SOMEONE HAS MARRIED MY BROTHER
I want to give this a try. It's not the same though.
SOMEONE HAS MARRIED MY BROTHER
That whole scene is fucking gold

Lol...."he's fat!" as a comeback to that. Amazing.
"All that I can forgive, but Debbie...............pastels.............?"
"OOOUUUTTT!!!!!"
Values is so caustic and absurdly over the topic, I don't care what came before or after it (well, besides the great first movie) almost.
This looks amazing, love that it's the take on the comic style as the live action movies and original tv show could never be topped.
Addams Family Values ,from start to finish, is one of the most quotable films of all time.
"and all their old noses grew back"
*all the girls scream*
"and all their old noses grew back"

Yup. The first Addams Family is very solid but Values is just better in every way.
Not even the best lines.
My name is Gomez Addams, and I have seen evil!
I have seen HORROR!
I HAVE SEEN THE UNHOLY MAGGOTS WHICH FEAST IN THEE DARK RECESSES OF THE HUMAN SOUL!
I have seen all this, Officer. But until today, I had never seen... YOU!
The delivery just seals this entire scene Raul was a treasure.
Back in 2013, this was supposed to be a Tim Burton directed stop motion movie made at Illumination.
Suddenly I feel the urge to rewatch those movies.
Will never be topped
*checks Netflix*
They're not on my Netflix.
Hype deflated.
It's his comic strip design, we just have grown too attached to 3 depictions of handsome Gomez (Old tv show, movies, late 90s early 2000s show)
I was actually worried for a moment thinking this was going to be live-action but now that worry is gone as this'll probably be terrible and everyone will have forgotten about it's existence in about a year.
This looks fine. It honestly looks way more pleasant than I was expecting. The humor feels like Addams Family humor to me, the characters seem to be in order, it looks like the comics. The only thing we're missing is the actual plot, so the trailer comes off, to me, as if it was just assembled from jokes from an animated show that never existed. (Well, an animated show DID exist, just these are clips from a different one). I dunno maybe if anything it's too safe? It all felt super fitting, the humor feels like Addams Family humor has always felt to me.
Original comic
Hanna Barberra animated series
90s animated series
I do understand and agree that there's a lot of charm coming from real people committing 100% to the outlandish and cartoony lifestyle they have, though.
Addams Family always seems to see-saw back and forth between live action and cartoon with each reboot, and the last reboot was live action so it's cartoon time again!
I am not, however, happy to hear this is being done by anyone in a position of power from Sausage Party. ):<
Takes like these are always so weird to me because The Addams Family originated as a comic strip. They have always been cartoons, the TV show and movies just adapted them with actors for live action versions. Is it only because people don't even know about the comics (I didn't until last year, but I knew about the 90s animated series), or is it just that the movie performances are so good they eclipse the actual original content/design?

Hell, I wish Illumination was doing this after watching the trailer. On top of that, I'm seeing they have a Jetsons movie in development. Oh boy.
Maybe one day they'll learn good screen actors don't usually make good voice actors.
If that's the best material they could muster up for the trailer I don't have a lot of faith in this.
It should have been stop-motion too.
