Comedy The Addams Family

[PyroChamber]

The only minor complaint I had about the movies was that Lurch didn't talk; but I didn't like that Thing was more mobile and more like a pet than he was on the show.

BTW, who's mother was Mama suppose to be?

The movies changed things a bit. In the show Grandmama was Gomez's mother and in the movies she was Morticia's. They also changed things with Fester. In the show he was Morticia's uncle and in the movies Gomez's brother.

 

[Greg]

Heh, I think Thing came out seeming as a pet due to the fact that he was a hand that ran around and wasn't really part of the overall plot and we didn't know too much about him. But in all actuality, Thing was Gomez's best friend since childhood who lived with them family.

When Morticia goes into labour with the baby and is taken to the hospital, we see two kids in a waiting room with Wednesday and Pugsley:

Kid #1: "Our mommy is going to have a baby"
Kid #2: "Yeah, my daddy said the stork brought the baby to us"
Pugsley: "Our parents are having a baby, too"
Wednesday: "They had sex"

Watched this last night on TV, hadn't seen it in quite a few years.

This has to be, hands down the best movie based on a TV show with some of the best if not perfect casting.

I really do need to pick this up on DVD. Not sure about the sequel though, don't remember liking it nearly as much as the first.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

The sequel was fantastic as well.

''I'll be the victim!"
''All your life!"

I'll have to give it another watch one of these days.

One of my favorite parts in the first movie was when Fester and Gomez do that dance at the party. Anyone remember the name of it?

He has my father's eyes.

Gomez, take those out of the baby's mouth.

Classic. t:

I love these movies. As others have said, the casting was excellent all the way around.

I have to agree, these movies were the best to come from a tv show, the casting was perfect.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Yeah. These are definitely the best TV movie adaptions. I so wish they had got a third one out before Raul died to round out a perfect trilogy, but it wasn't meant to be.

 

[redhawk23]

lol i just watched the Thanksgiving Play from the second movie, God i love that flick

 

[deathshead2]

Ahh yes back when Barry Sonnenfeld was a great director.

 

[X-Woman]

I think the one who has the best lines in these movies is Wednesday. My favorite is in the second movie, when she gets to the camp. One of the other girls says to her, "Why are you dressed like you're going to a funeral? No one's died."

Wednesday: "Wait."

Classic Addams!

 

[Dave McFly]

I love when she and Pugsly come out of that isolation cottage thingy (the one that had Michael Jackson 'heal the world' poster on the wall and stuff) and that she does is just creepy and funny at the same time .

 

[Sawyer]

I really wish whoever owns the rights would come out with the old and 90s animated series on DVD.

‘Addams Family’ Movie Scares Up Charlize Theron, Bette Midler, Allison Janney & More For Voice Cast

MGM has set the voice cast for its Oct. 11, 2019 animated take on The Addams Family including Oscar winners Charlize Theron (Morticia), Allison Janney (arch nemesis Margaux Needler), two-time Oscar nominee Bette Midler (Grandmama), Chloë Grace Moretz (Wednesday), Finn Wolfhard (Pugsley), and Nick Kroll (Uncle Fester).
As previously announced, Oscar Isaac will play Gomez. Sausage Party director Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan are co-helming this brand new take on Charles Addams’ classic New Yorker cartoon series which has been adapted into various formats since its debut in 1938 including a black and white ABC TV series during the early 1960s, a Hanna-Barbera cartoon during the ’70s, two Paramount features which made over $240M WW during the early 1990s and a recent Broadway show.
Matt Lieberman wrote the script, which follows the kooky Addams family as they face-off against a crafty reality-TV host voiced by Janney while also preparing for their extended family to arrive for a major celebration, Addams-style.

Vernon is producing with Gail Berman, via her shingle The Jackal Group, and Alex Schwartz. Andrew Mittman, Kevin Miserocchi and Joe Earley are EPs. Tabitha Shick, MGM’s Executive Director, Worldwide Motion Pictures is overseeing the project on behalf of the studio. CG Animation and digital visual effects production is underway in Vancouver at Cinesite Studios.

Vernon said in a statement, “Greg and I have always been a fan of the Addams Family in past versions, so when we set out to make this movie, we were excited to do something new. With that in mind, I drew from the brilliantly original Charles Addams New Yorker cartoons for the look of the film and decided to tell the story of how Gomez and Morticia meet, find their house and start their family. This unique approach is what drew me in to direct the film. The reimagining also extends to the stellar cast we’ve put together who will each bring their own spin to our film that will appeal to longtime fans of the Addams and introduce them to a new generation.”

“Conrad and Greg are masters of animation with the keen ability to create something both kids and their parents will enjoy for different reasons. Adding to that a world class caliber of talent with Oscar, Charlize, Chloë, Finn, Nick, Bette and Allison – we can’t wait to bring their fresh and modern take on The Addams Family to the worldwide audience,” said Jonathan Glickman, president of MGM Motion Pictures Group.

I would have been so perfect. I mean just do the math =
