The first family of Halloween, the Addams Family, is back on the big screen in the first animated comedy about the kookiest family on the block.
Funny, outlandish, and completely iconic, the Addams Family redefines what it means to be a good neighbor.
In the first animated film featuring this iconic family, Gomez, Morticia, Pugsley, Wednesday, Uncle Fester, and Grandma join a lively cast of characters to remind us why they are the most eccentric family in the neighborhood.
Except in this case, they are the most eccentric family in the run-down mansion on top of a fog- surrounded hill in New Jersey (a nod to creator Charles Addams’ home state).
Happily ensconced in their Addams way of life for years, Gomez and Morticia prepare for a visit from their extended family for Pugsley’s “Sabre Mazurka,” a rite of passage ceremony to prove he is ready to become an Addams Family man.
Little does the family know, their neighbor down the hill — design TV phenom Margaux Needler — is constructing a prefabricated community, replete with technicolor pop and perfectionism.
When the fog lifts, Margaux is disconcerted to see The Addams Family mansion — the one thing standing between her dream of selling all the houses in the neighborhood and being adored as a TV personality forever.
As Pugsley struggles to learn the complicated “Sabre Mazurka” routine, Wednesday finds herself struggling with coming-of-age. She befriends Margaux’s daughter Parker and pushes boundaries, as well as, Morticia’s buttons by joining in on “normal” pursuits like attending public school, cheerleading, and pink barrettes.
A hilarious and endearing tale of acceptance, The Addams Family brings Charles Addams’ New Yorker cartoons to life and will inspire people of all ages to embrace a new idea of what is normal.
