The Addams Family (2019)

Uninventive. Never really gets past the 'say a phrase but swap a positive word for a negative one' humour, mostly remixes story beats from the two live-action movies, adheres to the original character designs but also to the exact same Pixar aesthetics as almost every CG movie for the past 20 years, nicks the pastel suburbia theme from Edward Scissorhands (but doesn't do anything new with it like, say, make everyone look very similar in a way that wouldn't be so practical in live-action but perfect for CG), gives Thing a watch with an eye on it rather than use animation skills to imbue him with emotions. Also, some truly terrible music choices.
Rating: Bad
