i like the effort for recreating the addams family, however Illumination (the film company) planned around 2010 to conceive a stop motion version of The Addams Family. I really think they should have stuck with that plan. Stop motion goes so well with spooky themed films like Coraline or any Stop Motion Tim Burton films. I wish the plot had more emotion and suspense, as it was all based off the stereotyping kids these days. The designs of the family needed more spook, it was too plain and pretty boring. Overall its a great movie for kids who are new to the Addams family.
