Animation/Design Nostalgic Cute Chuckle Fest Good Voice Acting Morals Baked Right In Kids Movie Dream
DISLIKES A Little Contained Semi Preachy Missed Characters Very Simplistic Story Missing the Semi-Disturbed approach this series is famous for
The VERDICT:
The Addams Family 2019 version is a great display of the variability of interpretation and it works well for a family film for the modern audience. A cute theme is the element of this movie, with nonthreatening animation/design to herald the fun chuckle fest that the dialogue and film are about. It's got appropriate voice acting, a nice sense of comedy that makes the world fun, nostalgia that is not overwhelming, and morals baked right in to get the message of acceptance out in the world. Yet, the containment that they took steals away the intensity, edge, and energy that this series is famous for. It's meant to be quirky and slightly disturbing and that element missing, alongside some dropped story elements may not impress the classic fans like they are hoping. While this movie probably would have been better released on nickelodeon or a fan service, it's got enough elements for a family outing, but hold this one for the home viewing for your maximum buck.
My scores are:
Animation/Comedy/Family: 7.5-8.0 Movie Overall: 6.5-7.0
