WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

The Addams family – made up of adoring couple Gomez (Isaac) and Morticia (Theron), daughter Wednesday (Moretz), son Pugsley (Wolfhard), and Uncle Fester (Kroll) – are an eccentric and oddball bunch who find their lives are beginning to unravel when they move to New Jersey and face off against the snooty neighbours and the revelations of the 21st century, all while also preparing for a major family get-together…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Everyone’s favourite oddball family returns in glorious animation that harkens back to their original comic designs, in a new reboot that both captures their spirit and updates it for a new generation.
