Addams Family is an animated disaster

this video is sponsored by surfshark making animated movies is hard it takes so much effort so much skill from countless people you have voice actors animators directors sound effect people writers the entire team must come together for a cohesive project and when it works it works and when it doesn't oh man it just doesn't i've seen a lot of terrible movies in my life but the ones that make me the most upset are the lazy ones the ones that are made for a quick buck the ones that are solely made for money and have absolutely no business using millions of dollars to create a dog turd and this is where the addams family animated movie comes into play the addams family animated movie not the adams family movie is by god one of the most boring egregious uses of money i have ever seen it is a movie feigning to be an adaptation of a beloved cultural iconic family everyone knows what the adams family name is even if you've never watched the movies you have this wacky family that's not like normal families they're all crazy they all dress in dark colors and you got a hand that's you know just a hand and he's called thing that's that's insane you got normal families who are all normal and they're like football ale house cars and then you have the addams family which is like tombstones goth ihop cement they've been a fictional family that has existed for nearly a century at this point shows movies party city costumes for girls and boys and now a very very very awful animated movie which is so upsetting i still remember when this movie came out in 2019 there was icy ads at every single theater and let me tell you i had that charcoal black cherry icee it made my poop green for three days man three days this movie basically infested itself inside of my body once i had that icy making me spew literal bile from myself but it's stuff like the icy ad that makes me look at this movie in a harsh light before i ever began to even watch it it's this weird stench of corporate the weird stench of money just illuminating from the very first trailer it's all these intense promotions with hundreds of products for this movie that made me instantly assume this is more about the brand than it is the story the black cherry icy that made my poop green the hershey bars the ihop purple pancake stuff that looked like this in the pictures but in reality look like this and then the very very weird minnesota lottery tickets okay okay i'm sorry but no matter how much everyone rags on illumination for being money-centric at least they don't have minion lottery tickets like like just imagine little five-year-old timmy is very interested in gambling at a young age because his animated character is on a scratch off and that entices him that's that's really weird and bad to think about now talking about illumination this movie was actually planned to be made by illumination in 2010 right as the first despicable me came out illumination was planning on making a stop motion adaptation of the addams family stop motion you know the animation technique that takes insane amounts of work and dedication that could lead to so much gorgeous creativity that sounds absolutely perfect for the adams family aesthetic as a whole how how wonderful but sadly that just didn't happen because what ended up happening was mgm mgm took adam's family and knocked out a low budget garbage fire i hate illumination movies i genuinely hate them and yet the lorax from 2012 looks better than this thing and i hate the look of the lorax i i hate it so much so what does that tell you the addams family is a 2019 toilet bidet starring really great actors amazing actors who give nothing because they are given nothing they are given a script that is stuck in the decades the original tv show came out in we put the lime in the coconut and drink them both up never in my life have i seen jokes so bland so old so from a different era we call this surfing the web and here's the craziest thing the addams family movies like the good ones like adam's family values is insanely dry in humor but it's so unbelievably good the timing is impeccable almost every time and it's genuinely hilarious why do you hate the baby we don't hate him we just want to play with him especially his head the live-action movies while they may have a somewhat overarching plot are more or less just the adams family doing their vibey thing of wacky dry morbid jokes basically they're just hangout movies they're just hanging out in all the movies but it's really fun it's a lot of fun here this animated movie in the realm of animation does not take advantage of the fact that it's animated and instead pushes to stretch its length out to barely make feature length there is no point in this being an animated movie if the most you're gonna have for creativity is a couple characters staring at each other and talking that that's that's so boring that's so boring for an animated movie there's no life in this movie there is no intentional dry humor when the writing is this mundane this is just one of the most boring movies coupled together with the most boring awful looking visuals it's just painful let's talk about the designs of everyone everything so the adams family themselves the biggest compliment i can give the designs of these characters is that they basically took the original comic strip from the 1930s and just put it in 3d mode that's it they're just 3d versions at the utmost bare minimum they are the 3d versions they have no detail no level of design here it's so insanely normal and boring for a family that is supposed to be anything but they'll look like the concept versions before the final product before the intricacies of the designs are actually set in motion and then we have all the other characters like the humans who all look terrible i have no idea why everyone in this movie is so insanely skinny or so fat everyone else is uglier than the addams family which sounds like that's not supposed to be the case when you talk about the addams family there's nearly nothing separating our main standout group from everyone except from the basic color schemes and that goes the exact same with the environments the main plot of this movie is like the adams family have their home it's a creepy home that looks so insanely fine inside no details of creepy or crazy or anything morbid and then their home is next to this colorful plastic looking town and that creates the conflict throughout the movie and the main argument this movie could create about this plastic neighborhood is so boring and ugly because the adams family are the people with true creativity and beauty or whatever but there's nothing detailed about the addams family to show that they're as empty as the empty town so either way i don't care changing the colors of something is not a design it's just not your humans looking like they're from the 2011 game rabbids go home it's probably not a good design for a million dollar movie but now let's finally dig into the plot let's do it together both of us diving into the non-existent plot but it's not non-existent in a good way it's not like these characters are hanging out and vibing there are no vibes in this movie no good vibes whatsoever so in this movie you have the setup of gomez and morticia needing to run away because they're ran out of their home town or whatever a setup that feels insanely hotel transylvania in fact this entire movie is actually just a worse hotel transylvania and adams family existed decades and decades before hotel transylvania and yet this is worse than that which just makes no sense but i'll get into that later you also have a starting song for the movie from christina aguilera that's supposed to be spooky themed i guess or more or less sounds like a jewelry commercial than anything adam's family aesthetic wise so gomez and morticia run to this house that they find you know it's the adams family house and we also meet lurch and thing and throughout the movie you have lurch playing the piano with thing and that's like the only thing he does in the movie but at one point he plays what a beautiful day in the neighborhood and it made me happy but i'm not gonna give credit to the movie for that that's not something originally made that came out of this movie and they didn't really use it in a good way it's just a good song that was put here this song that's from a you know a different property entirely speaking of songs when we get the opening credits it has a very fast really nice song that sounds like it would be so fun with a montage but instead the montage that we get there's just a bunch of boring static shots so then years later we have our kids wednesday in pugsley by now you may have noticed just how bad the movements of the characters are not just the insanely low detail of textures or anything else the genuine animation the second to second movements are so absolutely awful it's distracting so we then see wednesday who is curious about the outside world not just her house she's the only character in this movie with a semi-story arc of any kind meanwhile pugsley and gomez they just do things it's boring we also see how there's a colorful town down the hill a very very ugly bland town run by someone who is definitely not a lorax villain no this is not a lorax villain so this lorax villain woman gets word of the addams family and thinks that'll disrupt her perfect town so she plans to get rid of them but the plan kind of just shambles along for 30 minutes until she's like okay now i'm gonna get rid of them literally when she first thinks of getting rid of them she doesn't actually go through with it for another 30 minutes through the movie because instead that conflict needs to disappear because the movie needs to make the run time don't forget that soon a lot more adam's family family starts to arrive and that's when the conflict starts to get going because then there's panic that arises that all this family is here whoa and then there's like a weird small fight that gets resolved super quick and everything is fine and dandy again and wait that that's the whole movie wait that that's the whole movie no no seriously that is the entire movie that's it that's all there is there is nothing else notable to talk about for this feature-length movie i just started talking about it and i'm done there's nothing else to talk about here isn't that depressing holy that is the most depressing time i have ever talked about a plot for a movie there there are no character moments that are hilarious sad or anything it's a movie that just shambles so hard until the end credits and credits that also barely fit with any aesthetic throughout the whole movie the entire package of this movie is rancid it's all rancid this animated movie feels like it's stuck in decades-old time but not in a good way it's a movie where the role is already filled by hotel transylvania the crazy halloween spooky vibe of a big house with a bunch of interesting animated characters no it's already filled by hotel transylvania this attempt to try to do so with the addams family is so depressing there is no story to talk about no crazy adams family member in this movie feels memorable in the slightest and these are characters that have existed for nearly a century so isn't that insane you have so much to work with literally endless material to work with creatively and what do you do with it nothing absolutely nothing you make a theater-wide multi-million dollar movie with the same animation as a netflix animated show you know you know shows with less budget and take longer to make because it's a show except you're a multi-million dollar movie you're a movie that does the bare minimum and yet you had all of it handed to you the money the promotions the incredible cast the source material itself and all you did was nothing it's so shocking you know what's the most insane though if you search adam's family movies on google this one isn't even a top result and it's the most recent so what does that tell you i honestly never want to think about this movie again i just want to trap myself in my house and close my doors just like how the addams family does the addams family always
