I always loved when Morticia said "uncle niknac's winter wardrobe....... Uncle nicnac's summer wardrobe........ Uncle nicnac....."

[@chrish3126]

That line always has me laughing loudly every time I watch the movie. 😂😂😂

[@WournosFromTwitch]

OMG! I used this quote just the other day! I love that one!

[@davidcottone2700]

Rip Raul julia he was great gomez 💔

[@otisroseboro5613]

Exactly 💯

[@gmann6269]

It was really cool of Christina Ricci to do this panel in character as Wednesday Addams! She looks like she's about to ask Christopher Lloyd to pass the salt... NOW.

[@filthycasual8187]

She's even wearing a similar-patterned outfit to the dress she wore in the films. And look at Lurch! He showed up in full makeup!

[@otisroseboro5613]

R.I.P To a Great Actor Raul Julia, Still Miss You Always,Gone to Soon 😢

[@ACD1994]

Would have loved Joan Cusack and Carol Kane, who both gave really good performances in Addams Family Values, but this was still a fun reunion.

[@chasehedges6775]

Joan Cusack’s performance in Values was something glorious. 😂😂😂

[@mijan2929]

I was just about to comment the same thing!

[@Gonk]

I wished they would have gave Grandma Addams more scene time but she has the least :(

[@bethanyhanna9464]

​@@Gonk Yet so very memorable. ❤

[@carterfamilychannel]

I was about to say same thing! Carol Kane is an amazing actress she deserved more scenes as grandma

[@joncarroll2040]

This is maybe the only time when the original TV cast and the movie cast are equally great in their own way.

[@BradleyLord-e3i]

Every year on Halloween we watch the Addams family.the 90s was such a good Era with comedy films.👻🎃

[@davidpatriot1082]

this is one of the most legendary panels of all time. legit true legends wow

[@dauphin15]

Cristina looks like she was in pain - especially after the moderator asked her about being a bridge between the movies and the new Wednesday show. She could easily have embraced that idea, and been gracious. Anjelica, the legend, does a great job of helping drive the interview along.

[@booksaremybag4684]

I don't think Christina is fully on board with the idea of a Wednesday show. The character means a lot to her

[@Dparish24]

Bare in mind she joined the show quite late into the production, Thora Birch was originally playing the role as Christina was busy with Yellow Jackets and was pregnant. When Birch had to leave the production, they were able to bring Christina in last minute in a short production window. I'm sure she loved being part of the show, but from her mind it was a side job she did as favor for a friend (Tim Burton) in between new motherhood and another full time job, so her experience is just different than how an audience sees it.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="83">1:23</a> for Lloyd I know but... 😢 that empty seat and...Gomez.

[@Novaargh]

had the exact same feeling, i wen't, that one's for Raul

Anjelica in her prime at that time was something else, fyne as hell, lol

Anjelica Huston and Christina Ricci were both in "Buffalo '66"

AWESOME

Wonderful to see these great people. RIP Raul. 💀🐦‍⬛🖤

[@gillesjacques1022]

Trying to get answers from them was like pulling teeth, they looked bored being there.

[@Iseeyourefake]

Well 2 of them were kids and the other 3 are older so they are a bit slower and the kids were very young so the panel had a slow pace

[@nodoubter90]

I just felt like the moderator’s questions and comments were a bit lacking and shifting the energy to feel awkward

Christopher Lloyd is almost 86!

[@FearandLoathingInGeneral]

The moderator was acting to familiar and the jokey comments were not landing

[@yvonneesmeralda-yw8xf]

I watched this movie millions of times…it’s such a part of my childhood…born in 85…wish I could go back in time to experience those moments again

[@rogertemple7193]

Great to see the cast reunion of the Addams Family movies especially with Christopher, Anjelica and Carel as well as Christina and Jimmy thanks for the great reunion and have an awesome Halloween everyone.🇺🇲📺🇺🇲

[@rogertemple7193]

I don't know who is asking them the questions offscreen but he isn't really great at it and yeah they look really bored but still great to see them it's too bad that the original cast have all died with the exception of John Astin who is still with us thanks.🇺🇲📺🇺🇲

[@yvonneesmeralda-yw8xf]

We are all getting old…I wanna cry 😢

[@pmbuyer7]

There seemed to be a reverse curse with the Gomez actors. While Raul Julia passed the year after the sequel was made- John Astin lived the longest and is the only cast member from the original series still alive (as of this writing)in his 90's.

[@seandodd6388]

I thought the host asked very insightful questions the entire interview. No awkward vibes at all IMO. I think the actors here have all aged quite well, as a whole, as well, considering Christina and Jimmy are exactly my age, 44, and I remember seeing both parts of this movie duo in the theaters fresh upon their releases 30+ years ago now. Amazing it has been that long since, now.

[@x90001x]

yeah that host was really nice and cool, rolling with the punches, moving on when he noticed they wouldn't answer, he was the MVP of this

[@miclazy-5m]

Carel looks awesome to me. Such a unique look

[@Daehawk]

So great to see them all together. Love it. Always had a crush on Christina. She is gorgeous. I remember her best from Sleepy Hallow....then Casper of course.

[@Trontasia]

If Raul Julia was there, we probably would've heard questions about Street Fighter. : - ]

[@Lusciouslysorry]

It doesn't matter where I am or where Raul Julia is, but I'm ALWAYS asking questions about Street Fighter, which is Hell for most people and coincidentally where Raul Julia probably is.

[@realoddone2517]

⁠@@Lusciouslysorryyo wtf kind of response is that? Disrespectful af

[@WournosFromTwitch]

(paraphrasing) "Why aren't you dressed up?" Wednesday: "This is my costume. I'm a homicidal maniac. They look just like everyone else" 🤣

[@Stephstar80]

I feel that, Christopher Lloyd, is my entire childhood!!!!! ❤

[@caseysmith5510]

This was hard to watch , like others have said it's like they didn't want to be there. The guy was asking good questions.

[@Bianca_CD]

Why doesn’t the Interviewer ever let Christopher Lloyd finish what he’s saying? Jeez Louise, So Awkward! What was He thinking cutting Him off like that Every Time!

[@senordd]

I think he’s actually helping him out. Lloyd seems to be struggling with his words

[@chrish3126]

There's a hole in the family where Raul Julia should have been. Hearing the stories told about him and everything I've read online about him it sounds like he was an incredibly lovely man. I've had the absolute pleasure of meeting Christopher Lloyd and he was a pure delight. So friendly and gave off such grandfatherly vibes. I got to give him a big hug which will be a fond memory for many years to come

[@x90001x]

the interviewer/host did a really good job considering the cast was giving Nothing at all, his energy was welcome and he rolled with their punches, it's like the cast didn't know how special this event was

[@timrob12]

Apart from Raul Julia...Where is the guy who played Thing?

[@filthycasual8187]

Nobody would recognize him since all you saw was his hand.

[@VaultTechBoy]

Anyone else think the hand on the camera was thing for a second there 😂😂

[@crystalfajman3732]

I didn't know the guy who played Lurch was still alive

[@poolelasssb]

Sad to hear about gomez actor no longer with us, took far to young. But what a legend to fill the empty seat 🥹

[@FeelinErie]

"Pugsley, PLAY with your food..."

[@Garsons-oq4lh]

Should casts from beloved films and tv series do these personal appearances? Little Maria (Marilyn Harris) from the 1931 Frankenstein would not do personal appearances when there was a nostalgia boom for the film in the 80s: "As far as Frankenstein goes, I have a theory: that people remember the sweet, innocent little girl. And I think its cruel to put an older woman up there. It would destroy it for me, and I don't think its fair. That little girl should be remembered as she was - loving, and trusting. That's my belief."

[@creativeguy1138]

People aging is a fact of life. Nothing wrong with it.

[@haydencooper_]

Anjelica Houston still looks the same as she did in the movie 😍

[@RustyMikeyTiger]

The questions were a bit uncomfortable in the beginning, it wasn’t talking about Adam’s Family instead it was like asking for a eulogy

[@RustyMikeyTiger]

The interviewer sucks😮

[@boskostudios]

These are some of the most atrocious and least nuanced questions I've ever heard. Imagine knowing you're going to be talking to industry veterans, who also happen to be incredibly skilled screen actors, and these are the foolish questions you "prepare." Just painful.

[@ShaunBain]

There's no closeness at all between these 5 actors and Ricci looks pissed off at being there.

[@senordd]

Anyone else concerned about Christopher Lloyd? He seems to be struggling to find the words to articulate his thoughts

[@crax83]

Well, he's been like 80 years old since the 1980s. It's bound to catch up to you sooner or later. Joking aside, the man is 85, he's allowed to have a little bit of brain fog.
