I lost my mind when I saw the cast. All that talent... showing zero talent in this movie.

I understand that it's based on the comic books but that art direction and character design is loving abysmal. A loving smart watch? An It joke? "You sunk his battleship"? Jesus, they're going to have a terrible dance number to a just out of date pop song that is going to age horribly. I'm sick of kid's movies with the lowest hanging 'for the parent's' jokes that would be embarrassing in a Ziggy comic strip.

If it was Itt that had the balloon, I may have chuckled. Was If they didn't add that stupid 'usually there's a psychotic clown..." bit to the end to really drive it home.

Checked out the screenplay writer's previous credits:

Matt Lieberman: Dr. Dolittle: Tail to the Chief (STV, even worse than the Eddie Murphy movies) and that Kurt Douglas Santa movie from Netflix. Got the Short Circuit remake coming up as well.
Pamela Pettler: Monster House, Corpse Bride, 9 and a bunch of lovely TV shows from the 90s.

I really liked Monster House & Corpse Bride, so hopefully she wrote more of the script than him. And the studio forced them to make a lovely trailer.

It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.
I get the feeling the It balloon joke is just for the trailer, and the line will be different in the movie (if the scene is even in the movie)

I am an odd man out and I love the character designs because of how much they are like Charles Addams drawings (or are fun little exaggerations of said drawings. Wednesday's braids being nooses is a fun detail.)

I just hope we get better jokes.

Addams Family Values is burned into my brain, but I don't remember much about the first one oddly enough. There's a train derail scene I think?

The idea that a stellar cast is being “wasted” in an animated film makes no sense. The only reason the film can get these stars is because it’s animated and takes about two days of work. They literally couldn’t afford these people if it was a live action production.

I can't speak for DC Murderverse but they're definitely being wasted in this animated film.

As a kid I took it as a voodoo train set that causes crashes elsewhere, because of the shot of a real passenger seeing Gomez. That was pleasantly absurd.

The main plot was a scheme to rob the family using a dead ringer for Uncle Fester (who turns out to really be Uncle Fester)

And who could forget THE MAMUSHKA!

You lose a lot when you ditch the hand animation and I think that’s most apparent looking at Scar.

I rewatched both movies last October and I think the second one edges out the first because of this scene/storyline and Joan Cusack. It was also better received by critics than the first but was a huge disappointment at the box office compared to the first, which is why we never got a third.

Interesting factoid: Mercedes McNab, who plays perky camper Amanda Buckman, played the girl scout in the first movie. I like to think they're the same character.

Joan Cusack is great in that movie.

Her delivery of, “I was 10 and do you know what they got me? Malibu Barbie” is etched into my brain.

I like how there's like 0.7 seconds in this trailer that show mouth movement, which I assume is the most difficult and crucial part of this whole endeavor.

This looks so weird, so hyperrealistic like someone edited documentary footage with voicover and pretended that it is a movie. Zero artistic expression whatsoever.
And I liked Jungle Book from the same crew, but maybe because I have zero attachment to the old cartoon and have seen some live action versions already.
