The Addams Family animated reboot came out last autumn with a topnotch voice cast, and while it didn’t reach the heights (to be fair, stratospheric) of the 1990s live action movies, it could be a fun half-term treat to watch from the comfort of your sofa. (You can read my 3-star review here.)
If you didn’t see it at the cinema, you’ll be able to check it out for yourself on 17 February (digital download) and on Blu-ray and DVD from 2 March (UK).
Wednesday (played by Chloe Grace Moretz) is the heart of the movie
The DVD and blu-ray releases also have the following features (the * below are never-before-seen bonus content):
- Deleted and extended scenes*
- Welcome to the family* – In this combined Making of/Character Profiles, we hear from the filmmakers and stars of The Addams Family about how the film came about, the animation process and insight into the characters.
- Life of a scene* – From black & white storyboards and layouts to animation and lighting, follow along with filmmakers as they bring to life a scene from the movie.
- Charades with Thing* – There’s nothing quite like a game of Charades with your friends. But what happens when the person giving the clues isn’t exactly a person? What if he’s just… a hand? On talent day, stars of the film are invited to play Charades with Thing. Talent goes head-to-head, competing to see who can guess Thing’s clues. Graphics reveal the answers and keep score for each player.
