'''''The Addams Family''''' is an animated adaptation of the cartoons created by Charles Addams
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 around them!
Now, they again try to fit it, but find that the town’s resident real estate guru and reality show star has big plans for the town of Assimilation, New Jersey, and those plans don’t involve the new eyesore of a house that was just as hidden to them. Nor is she pleased with the idea of the Addamses' extended family showing up for for Pugsley's "Sabre Mazurka" on the same day she's filming her intended blockbuster of a season finale…
Line 17:
* [[Adaptational Badass]]: Pugsley. In most adaptations, he rarely serves much purpose except to be on the submissive side of his sister's torture-games. While there are some scenes like that here, there are also plenty where he takes incentive himself, [[Growing the Beard|symbolized by the way he literally sprouts a beard at the Mazurka.]]
* [[Ambiguously Jewish]]: Possibly the Family themselves, as Pugsley's "Mazurka" has quite a few similarities to a Bar Mitzvah.
* [[Bedlam House]]: The Addamses' [[Big Fancy House]] used to be one of these, which they find abandoned and decrepit. This is also
* [[Broken Aesop]]: The overall message seems to be, "conformity is bad, originality is good, just be yourself". Unfortunately, Morticia seems just as intolerant of change as the residents of Assimilation, making the message sound a little hollow.
* [[Covert Pervert]]: Who'd have ever thought that Thing - a disembodied, crawling hand - had a ''foot fetish''?
