I went in with low expectations considering how the critics (?) were trashing the film.Being an old fart loving this family since the magazine "New Yorker" days....I loved this movie. Perfect job of using Charles Addams original drawings, brief but informative back stories, unique ,beautiful animation...and of course the theme that being different is fine and family love matters.The story line is thin, but hey,,most movies are now a days,unfortunately. The voices were spot on. Just a nice little gem
