Addams Family 2 Trailer Creeps In

A sequel. How original. Everyone’s favorite spooky family is back in the animated comedy sequel, The Addams Family 2. In this all new movie we find Morticia and Gomez distraught that their children are growing up, skipping family dinners, and totally consumed with “scream time.” To reclaim their bond they decide to cram Wednesday, Pugsley, Uncle Fester and the crew into their haunted camper and hit the road for one last miserable family vacation. Their adventure across America takes them out of their element and into hilarious run-ins with their iconic cousin, IT, as well as many new kooky characters. What could possibly go wrong?

Addams Family 2 in 2021

The sequel to MGM’s 2019 box-office smash hit, The Addams Family has rounded out its stellar voice cast with the additions of Bill Hader as all-new character “Cyrus,” and Javon “Wanna” Walton taking on the role of the youngest Addams sibling, “Pugsley.” Hader and Walton join returning Addams Family film stars Charlize Theron (Morticia), Oscar Isaac (Gomez), Chloë Grace Moretz (Wednesday), Nick Kroll (Fester), Bette Midler (Grandma) and Snoop Dogg (It). Director Greg Tiernan has also returned for the sequel, which will be released in theaters October 8, 2021 via MGM’s United Artists Releasing banner.

Said Tiernan: “The success of last year’s animated film was proof of the enduring legacy of The Addams Family and its ability to transcend popular culture. This second film will be every bit as fun as the original. We are thrilled to welcome Bill Hader and Javon Walton, and to welcome back our incredible original cast for this exciting next chapter in the Addams’s journey.”

The Lead Up To Halloween Begins with the Addams Family Teaser

Used to be, if we heard an animated version of a TV or Movie property was coming, it was a sort of straight to video thing that was more than likely instantly forgettable after watching. These days, full length animated features are proving to be better than their live action counterparts! With releases like The LEGO Movie and Into the Spider-Verse, artists and creators are changing the way animation is received by the pubic, and anticipated at the box office. We can only hope our favorite creepy, kookie, mysterious and spooky family has gotten the same expert handling and proves to be a new Halloween tradition in the making.

Tim Burton On Addams Family Stop Motion Next

Deadline NY is reporting that, among Burton's various projects and fresh off his Alice in Wonderland 3D success, he'll find some time to breathe new life into the creepiest family in America with Universal's Illumination Entertainment. This new stop motion project would be based on the original comic strips seen in the New Yorker Magazine as opposed to the cooky family we've come to know and love from the 60's TV show and feature films. There is no doubting Burton's expertise in directing a stop motion feature, or his keen eye for creating a spooky, yet family friendly world, but with a near miss with Corpse Bride and a Wonderland that was arguably short on the wonder, it is anyone's guess how this project will go. One thing is 100% clear...the audience will be there!
