.DeadlinePete reviews TheAddamsFamily
for more than 80 years, since Charles Addams introduced the gothicly amusing clan in a series ofcartoons beginning in 1938. They’ve never gone far from the pop culture, whether as a hit 1960s ABC sitcom, a couple of cartoon shows, the 1990s movies starring Anjelica Huston and Raul Julia and even a Broadway musical.
Part of the reason is a very starry and perfectly chosen voice cast led by Charlize Theron as Morticia and Oscar Isaac as Gomez, bringing their own style to the infamous characters but paying homage to what we expect. Chloe Grace Moretz nicely deadpans daughter Wednesday, who is given a large slice of the plotline as she goes to school and doesn’t quite fit in with the popular kids, as you might imagine.
Visually, the animators have done a fine job bringing these iconic characters to life in the CGI universe, carrying on the spirit that inspired Charles Addams in the first place. Going animated has given the storytellers a level of freedom to go whole hog that the live-action versions could only talk about.
MGM’s United Artists Releasing opens it Friday. Producers are Gail Berman, Alison O’Brien, Alex Schwartz, and Vernon. Check out my video review with scenes from the film at the link above.and keep your inbox happy.
