The Addams Family 2 (2021)

I think I checked this film out because I thought my housemate would like it, but he literally didn’t remember watching the first film and thought we were watching something from the live action series. This isn’t surprising as the first film was at best unmemorable. Here Gomez decides the cure to Wednesday’s preteen angst is to take the family on a road trip. Unfortunately an evil scientist has convinced her that she might not be an Addams. It’s not saying much but I do think the story here was stronger and more appealing than the original film. I like the cast they have chosen for the well known characters and while some of the backgrounds are surprisingly gorgeous, the animation style is generally weird and ugly. The various Addams look more natural than the style used for the ‘normal’ characters.
