Morticia, Gomez, and the family are back ­­– still as creepy and kooky as ever, but this time it’s the twenty-first century and everything has changed. The Addams’s comfortable and loving world, once so dark, death-ridden, and dismal has been rudely interrupted by the encroaching tide of the internet and new technology.

Will they make it out alive? Only one thing is for sure ­– that this is not your average American family. So get those fingers ready to snap along…

The Addams Family have been a long-time favourite for many, but since their creation by cartoonist Charles Addams in 1938 and popular TV show which ran between 1964-1966, they have had only two previous outings on the big screen. Amazingly, this latest release marks their first animated film adventure. Their earlier cinematic credits – in the franchise starring Raul Julia, Anjelica Huston, and Christina Ricci – include:

The Addams Family (1991)

The family’s first adventure follows the discovery of Gomez’s long-lost brother Fester, worried that he might be an imposter.

Addams Family Values (1993)

Fester finds romance, but she proves to be a deadly serial killer out for the family fortune. The children also contend with an overly happy summer camp.
