They're creepy, kooky, mysterious, and spooky, and 25 years after their original TV show, The Addams Family returned with a big-budget theatrical reboot. And thanks to a visionary young director, incredible production design, and pitch-perfect casting, this 1991 film soon became timeless Halloween season viewing. This month on What A Cartoon Movie, join us as we break format—the scariest thing of all—for an excuse to talk about the movie that taught us all to dance the Mamushka 35 years ago.

Trix is indeed related to Kix. Henry is correct

TJ Gaines

Oh this was a good one. But all I could think of when the family thinks Fester is hot is the WHM episode of Back to The Future with Andrew shouting “Fester Fucks!”

mavrick

according to my German friend, Pinder-Schloss is indeed a pun name for nuthouse or asylum

Matt Fish

Lurch’s son goes to conventions as Son of Lurch

David Louis

Ahhhhhhhh yeah! Perfect choice as always. 👌👌 Thanks again Bon and Henry, keep up the good work! 😁

The makeup and wardrobe departments should get a special shout-out. Everyone looks great, especially Christopher Lloyd as Uncle Fester. It sounds like him but when I look at him, I don't think it's Christopher Lloyd.

For those of you who are interested in learning more about Sonnenfeld's work as a cinematographer, he did a FANTASTIC video commentary along with the Coen Brothers for the Criterion release of "Blood Simple" a few years back. It's one of the best DVD bonus features I've ever seen, and best of all, it's free to watch on YouTube. Sonnenfeld's two books are also worth reading, as they're full of great stories, plus he's not afraid to call out the mega-assholes that he's worked with over the years (like Tim Allen, for instance).

As far as Batman crossovers go - yes, Ted "Lurch" Cassidy was the only cast member to appear as their Addams Family character. However, Carolyn Jones played the villain Marsha, Queen of Diamonds in an episode, and John Astin infamously replaced Frank Gorshin as the Riddler in Season Two because the show's producers didn't want to give Gorshin the salary increase that he'd been asking for. Gorshin would return to the role for Season Three. I personally prefer Astin's interpretation of the character (Gorshin laughs too damn much and plays him more like The Joker), but I am sadly in the minority with this opinion.

One last comment: I recently learned that the themes to "The Addams Family" and "Green Acres" were composed by the same guy: Vic Mizzy. It's kind of obvious if you compare the songs - specifically the riffs that begin each one.

David Robinson was 5'9" in high school, when into the Naval Academy, and grew to 7'1" and became one of the all time NBA greats, so my theory is he's a Steve Rogers type super soldier.

David Robinson was a tremendous NBA player! An incredible athlete and probably the 2nd best center of the 1990's (below Hakeem Olajuwon, but above Patrick Ewing and a young Shaquille O'Neal). He was also a picture perfect role model: respectful, served in the Navy, attended church regularly, supported the community, donated millions to charity (if Hank Hill ever had a favorite basketball player, it would be David Robinson). The knock against him is he may have been TOO nice of a guy, lacking the killer instinct of Michael Jordan and often getting outplayed in the postseason. Back injuries ended Robinson's prime early, but he was able to have success during the 2nd half of his career in a reduced role, winning 2 championships as a sidekick to new teammate Tim Duncan (who was an even better player).

My mother worked for Federal Express when this came out, and so my household was very excited about the brief scene featuring Thing working for them in the movie.

I agree that it's really cool that they cast Raul Julia, a Latino actor, to play Gomez. I also think it's worth clarifying that it might not be the most accurate to describe him as a "non-white actor." Being Latino (or Latine or Latinx to be gender-neutral) is an ethnicity, but Latino people can be all races, including white! Though I understand it can come off as pedantic, I think it's important to explain this because it reflects the richness and diversity of Latin America, which is often flattened from a US perspective. Every Latin American country is filled with a bunch of people of various races and origins, just like the US! It also reflects the absurdity of white supremacy since racists in the US often view Latinos, even those with European features and ancestry like Julia, as "other." If Bob or Henry's parents moved to Puerto Rico and the boys were born and raised on the island, I think we'd say they're white Puerto Ricans!

Deveno

Amazing episode as always. I just went back to the sequal and had even more fun with it as Bob's "the opposite day family" rings in my head giving each joke a second meta punchline. Really hope you get to cover it eventually

I‘m German and Pinder-Schloss is definitely not a term for nuthouse, that‘s just not true. „Pinder“ doesn‘t mean anything and isn‘t found in any dictionary I checked. „Schloss“ however means „castle“ or „lock“. A translation for nuthouse would be „Klapsmühle“

mavrick

then my German friend misunderstood me or placated me. sorry.
