These movies were so iconic to the '90's goth Gen X scene. Raul Julia, Anjelica Huston, and Christina Ricci were all born to play Gomez, Morticia, and Wednesday Addams.

[@shainewhite2781]

RIP, Raul Julia. 1940-1994. He was the best Gomez Addams.

[@memnarch129]

And he had his PERFECT Morticia, Angelica Houston. There will never be a more perfect Gomez and Morticia.

[@Infinity-Minus-One]

@@memnarch129 Carolyn Jones was the best Morticia in my opinion, Angelica Houston is very very close or maybe even equal tough.

John Astin just bests him slightly, at least in my opinion.

[@mirandavega_]

I love this adaptation the best. The Addams Family is known for being super loving and supportive of each-other besides just their Darkness- and the actors in this did an amazing job in portraying the family dynamics. Morticia and Gomez are goals haha

[@memnarch129]

@@Infinity-Minus-One Oh I highly respect Astin and Jones. But Julia and Huston just crank it to 11 and never turn it down.

[@memnarch129]

The great thing many miss about the Addams Family is this, they are the ideal family. The kids are well behaved, the husband loves and treats his wife like a queen, and the wife is a excellent home maker and supports her children in their interests and backs up her husband. They are the perfect version of a loving, caring, functioning family, just their interests and proclivities are on the more morbid side of things.

[@Br0nto5aurus]

The "kids are well behaved" part is a bit questionable. It works for the Addams' but Wednesday regularly tries to kill Pugsley. In the second movie, in addition to more of the same homicidal behavior from Wednesday and new homicidal behavior from Pugsley, the children are seen sawing the railing of the stairs. Seemingly fine for the Addams', but not exactly "well behaved" to others.

[@memnarch129]

@@Br0nto5aurus Thats kinda the point. The family is a perfect nuclear family, from the Addams point of view. Yes to OUR view they are all batshit crazy, from theirs? They are a loving supportive family.

[@mellysomethingclever]

@@Br0nto5aurusyes they do it to EACH OTHER because they are aware those dynamics are in line with the family. They are also aware other kids would not be hence why you really don’t see them doing it to other. Minus the thanksgiving play at camp which was justified 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@saltyshieldstan]

Fun fact: the filmmakers originally left it ambiguous whether or not Gordon was really Fester, but the cast talked them into changing it!

[@Emisop]

Specifically, they got Christina Ricci to do it! They thought she was the best one to do so haha

[@SmashAdams216]

I've seen a lot of people react to this and so many got confused on if he was really Fester or not. You had it nailed, from the dance coming back to him, to his "mother" mentioning how she found him. Way to pay attention to those details, bro!

[@Yugioh420]

Fester knew Flora and Fawna in the home movies without being told who they where. That's the first sign it really was fester

[@exceedcharge1]

He saw pictures of them in his room before

[@Yugioh420]

@exceedcharge1 your right. I noticed that on a watch back. So the question is was the mamushca the first moment he started being himself? Or did he get lucky with that and didn't really become himself at all till the lightning struck his head?

[@exceedcharge1]

[@Detroit_Dawg]

Glad to see your girl back for a reaction, havent seen her in a while. She talked so little in past videos I had no clue she had an accent lol She seems more comfortable on camera now, great reaction, cant wait to see you react to Addams family Values and Wednesday! 👍

[@Jim_Jam]

Wednesday is it's own continuity, but it will do good to be a little familiar with the franchise.

[@gr8handsftl]

Love this movie. The second one, Addams Family Values is just as good. Just wisht that there was a third movie. They had plans but Raul Julia who played Gomez had passed away from a heart attack. Most of the cast did not come back and the "third" movie isn't really a fit.

[@melenatorr]

He was only 54 when he died. During production on the second movie, his condition affected his energy and the script and direction tried hard to accommodate him. When Angelica Huston was approached for this first movie, she was reluctant: the tv series was, to use a word already tired, iconic, and she was anxious not only about living up to Carolyn Jones, but about who could be cast as Gomez after the classic eccentricities and energy of John Astin. I remember reading that when she was told it would be Raul Julia, her eyes lit up. Angelica Huston is the daughter of John Huston, the famous and gifted screenwriter/director. He, in turn, was the son of the magnificent actor Walter Huston, who, in sort of link to the Addams family, played Mr. Scratch in a delightful adaptation of "The Devil and Daniel Webster", aka "All That Money Can Buy".

[@jollyrodgers7272]

She got her name from the old classic English Children's Rhyme; "Monday's child is Fair of Face, Tuesday's child is Fair of Face, Wednesday's child is Full of Woe, Thursday's child has Far to Go..." This film was released on Thanksgiving weekend, therefore the Christmassy opening. The Hand is named "Thing". The hairy little critter in bowler hat is Cousin It. All based on Charles Addams' characters he created in the early 1930s, originally a single-panel comic, and grew into the early '60s tv show. The late, great Raul Julia was so fantastic in his portrayal of Gomez. Good catch - she said she should've left him where she found him!

[@nickmanzo8459]

Primate, The Addams Family began life as a group of single panic comic strips in the 1930s. Charles Addams was a satirist and cartoonist who invented the family to lampoon normal American culture by showing it twisted with the dark and macabre. The 1960s show was based on it, but toned it down for tv. These films were unconnected to the show, but hit sued for the use of Cousin Itt. The Addams Family is a rights issues nightmare. There are several different iterations that are in no way connected by any canon.

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

Exactly. Rights mostly go to the Charles & Tee Addams Estate, Paramount, MGM, etc.

[@ItApproaches]

The Addams family is the best family. If everyone's family was like that the world would be a lot more fun. And yes that was the real Fester

[@spunkymaniac9312]

And probably alot more dead too

[@ItApproaches]

@@spunkymaniac9312Nah, cause we would all have plot armor. Or is it more like toon force? Can't be hurt or die if it's funny.

[@ARKHAMxMaverick]

So happy to see both of you back reacting.

[@ItsAPrimatee]

:)

[@karlsmith2570]

1:20 Fun Fact for you, Primate: In Original 1960's TV series of "The Addams Family", that disembodied hand, "Thing", was also played by actor Ted Kassidy who played Lurch, The Family's Butler, which was why you'd never see thing in the same scenes together Also, Ted Kassidy, who played Lurch in the original TV show, also did the voice-over narrative in the TV series of "The Incredible Hulk" which starred Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno

[@13mysticmeg]

I'm deadly serious, I ADORE this film & I have literally less than 5 mins finished watching my dvd copy of this film & then this video pops up on youtube!! :D yay!

[@ItsAPrimatee]

:)

[@TheCryptofHorrors-DerCryptaxis]

Just wait till the next one, Addams Family Values. It's well over twice as good as this first one

[@DavidRomigJr]

The Addams Family is a newspaper comic that was converted to a TV series and then a bunch of formats including these really good movies. It is quintessentially about an odd, unusual, and creepy family.

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

With daughter Wednesday as nearly everyone's favorite (and the breakout star, as evidenced by the Netflix series directed by Tim Burton) & the parents Gomez & Morticia (often shortened to Tish) are couple goals.

[@whade62000]

Fun fact, the Gomez and Morticia actors from the 1964 Addams Family TV series did have a star crossed lovers thing going on and that may be the origin of the frequent show of affection between the two that continued in this and subsequent versions. (People who never watched 1964 only the films are REALLY missing out imho, can you maybe react at least to the pilot?)

[@andromeda331]

I love this movie and it's sequel. It's the perfect Addams movies. You should also watch the original Addams family tv series from the 60s. It's really good. They are a really great and devoted family who like creepy stuff.

[@Emisop]

2:50 Frankenstein is the scientist, not the monster. The monster doesn't have a name

[@willcool713]

When the 1960's TV show came out (based on the Depression Era newspaper cartoon strip) all the new shows were coming out in color. But *The Addams Family* was a B&W throwback. When they were made, the original show was so quirky and beloved I didn't think the movies would be anything but a cash grab. But I was wrong -- this movie and the sequel recreate the spirit of the original show really, really well. I wish I could say the same for other remakes.

[@biguy617]

I love this movie. I watched the original TV serious when they were showing reruns on TV. The original Gomez, John Astin, was the second actor to play the Riddler in the Adam West Batman series. The original actress that played Mortica was in the Vincent Price movie House of Wax. MC Hammer did a song for this movie. You should watch that video. Everyone casted perfectly in this movie.

[@melenatorr]

The languages was a popular action from the series: Gomez was from a Spanish background and would occasionally use Spanish, but the kicker was when Morticia would use French, which was an instant amorous trigger for John Astin's Gomez (and it could be pretty much any language from Morticia that would set him off). Here's a sample from the series: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z17VhoKogNucha8

[@christopherwall2121]

Thing was an actual hand, i believe he was played by a trained mime, using a variety of tricks to bring him to life.

[@kenpaden]

In the 90s Hollywood was on a binge making movies out of popular 60s and 70s TV shows. The other 60s tv show similar to this is The Munsters. I have read they were never able to successfully make a movie out of The Munsters because the actors from the show were so beloved and strongly identified with the characters. I would definitely check out that show, it was hilarious, light hearted, and very well done.

[@DanJackson1977]

They made several TV movies out of the munsters... some better than others. And the original Munsters DID have a movie, Munstera Go Home. But bottom line, Fred Gwynne is irreplaceable as Herman. It's his hight, his voice, his mannerisms, and his face that was so perfect for that character... but most importantly it's his pathos.

[@kenpaden]

Thanks for your thoughtful reply, I have seen bits and pieces of those shows, they werent bad but no where near the success level of the originals because Fred was so good as Herman . In addition to the qualities you mentioned , I would add his comedic talents. He was hilarious.

[@Codametal]

I love this movie. I loved the old tv show too. It was so different back in the day and it was written pretty well for the time. Although, the characters aren't exactly portrayed as they were in the original comic strip. In the Wednesday tv show, Gomez and Morticia are portrayed closer to their comic strip characters. But it's all good and can't wait for you to watch the next movie. Although I did like the first one the most. I think the cast was great. Christina Ricci killed it. She will always be Wednesday Addams in my mind forever. And she was my favorite character in the movie. In the old tv show, Morticia and Gomez were my favorite characters as Wednesday didn't have that large of a part. Well done, Primate. Great!

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

The opening is a nod to the New Yorker one-panel strips, whereby the kooky macabre family dumps boiling oil onto unsuspecting Christmas carolers. The family relies in things most common folk consider abnormal & unsettling. Nonetheless, even if they appear to be nigh-unkillable & revel in pain mixed with pleasure, they are otherwise a loving, supportive family.
