The Addams Family
Members of the mysterious and spooky Addams family,
Gomez, Morticia, Pugsley, Wednesday, Uncle Fester and
Grandma, are readily preparing for a visit from their
even creepier relatives. But trouble soon arises when
shady TV personality Margaux Needler realizes that the
Addams' eerie hilltop mansion is standing in the way of
her dream to sell all the houses in the neighborhood.
This familiar TV and movie family really works well as
an animated CGI retelling.
