'''''The Addams Family''''' is an animated adaptation of the cartoons created by Charles Addams, along with that of subsequent adaptations of the same. It is directed by [[Conrad Vernon]] and [[Greg Tiernen]] (both known for their work on ''[[Sausage Party]]''), featuring the voices of [[Charlize Theron]], [[Chloe Grace Moretz]], [[Oscar Isaac]], [[Nick Kroll]], and [[Finn Wolfhard]]. The film was released on October 11th11, 2019 by [[Metro Goldwyn Mayer| United Artists Releasing]] in America, and [[Universal Pictures]] internationally.
 
Thirteen years ago, the newlywed Gomez and Morticia Addams fled “the old country”, in order to settle into an isolated existence, far from the places they knew they weren’t welcome. Now in the present time, the cheerful but rather macabre family (including their daughter Wednesday, their son Pugsley, their loyal butler Lurch, and the disembodied crawling hand, Thing) have lived happily, separated from a world that doesn’t understand or accept them. Until one day, the fog around their house lifts, revealing, to their shock, that a whole town has been built!
Line 24:
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Margeaux's grudge against the Family seems to start simply because she thinks their house is an eyesore. A valid point, maybe, but she eventually evolves into wanting to ''kill'' them.
* [[Dirty Old Man]]: Fester seems to be one in this version, commenting on how he likes Assimilation because of "all the windows you can look into". And then there's the [[Long List]] he recites of places he isn't allowed to visit...
* [[Easily Forgiven]]: {{spoiler|Unlike the live-action adaptations, the Addams' family motto ([[Badass Creed| "We gladly feast on those who would subdue us"]]) doesn't seem to apply here, as they gladly forgive the residents of Assimilation - even Margeaux - for forming a lynch mob and destroying their house.}}
* [[Extreme Omnivore]]: Kittykat isn't a typical lion, as she's able to eat anything. In one scene where Lurch clears the dinner plates, he feeds the uneaten food to Kittykat, who then eats the plate and silverware.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: {{spoiler|Not only does Margeaux get no comeuppance at all for orchestrating the plot to ''murder'' the Addams, she seems to benefit at the end, gaining a new market to sell houses to and dating Fester. While her show is cancelled by the network, it's clear that was only a secondary occupation for her.}}
Line 43:
* [[Wedding Smashers]]: Happened at Morticia and Gomez's wedding, which was crashed by a mob with [[Torches and Pitchforks]], the minister having to rush the "I do" before fighting broke out. It seems this happened to them a lot in "the old country".
