Despite some improvements over the previous film, The Addams Family 2 still feels stuck in the first gear of safe animated adaptations.
Forgettable and quite boring, The Addams Family is perfectly passable as a children’s film, but not a genre classic.
How many people were having flashbacks to the Toy Story series during this trailer? I mean, the supermarket was very reminiscent of Al’s Toy Barn, and the whole premise of giving inanimate objects complex emotional lives that humans eventually wreck is Toy Story as a whole. Except the things we do to our food is way more messed up than simple abandonment, so I guess Jessie doesn’t earn a sad song until Emily pulls a knife on her now.
