The Addams Family 2 (2021)
The Addams Family hits the road in the 40th biggest box office hit of 2021, The Addams Family 2.
Everyone’s favourite spooky family is back in this animated comedy sequel that finds Morticia (voiced by Charlize Theron) and Gomez (voiced by Oscar Isaac) distraught that their children are growing up, skipping family dinners, and are totally consumed with “scream time.”
To reclaim their bond, they decide to cram Wednesday (Chloë Grace Moretz), Pugsley (Javon Walton), Uncle Fester (Nick Kroll) and the crew into their haunted camper for one last marvellously miserable family road trip. Their adventure across America to see Niagara Falls, the Grand Canyon and of course, Death Valley, takes them out of their element and into hilarious run-ins with their iconic cousin, It (Snoop Dogg), as well as many new kooky characters. What could possibly go wrong?
The Addams Family 2 was nominated for a 2022 Saturn Award for Best Animated Film, as well as an Annie Award, and a Kids’ Choice Award for Charlize Theron.
Also listen out for the voices of Oscar nominee Bette Midler (Hocus Pocus), Emmy winner Bill Hader (who voiced Fear in Inside Out) and Wallace Shawn (Young Sheldon, The Princess Bride).
