This double feature presents two feature-film versions of the classic 1960s television series THE ADDAMS FAMILY: When long-lost Uncle Fester Christopher Lloyd reappears after 25 years in the Bermuda Triangle Morticia Anjelica Huston and Gomez Raul Julia ecstatically begin plans for a celebration that will wake the dead. Meanwhile an evil lawyer is plotting ways to get at the ghoulish family's fortunes--which are stashed somewhere within a secret vault inside the family mansion. Only the daughter Wednesday played by the brilliant and stunningly stoic Christina Ricci and the detached servant Thing suspect that something rotten is afoot. But can they prove anything before the vault is found and the Addams family is plunged into poverty? THE ADDAMS FAMILY 1991 is not only the cartoon and... Less

Inspired more by the 1960s TV series than by the original Charles Addams New Yorker cartoons, The Addams Family proved to be one of the more successful of the TV shows-turned-movie s of the 1990s. The film opens on a recreation of the magazine cartoon wherein the ghoulish Addamses prepare to pour hot oil upon a group of merry Christmas carolers. After a series of vignettes which establish the characters of Gomez (Raul Julia), Morticia (Anjelica Huston), Wednesday (Christina Ricci), Pugsley (Jimmy Workman) and family servants Lurch (Carel Struycken) and Thing (Christopher Hart), the plot proper gets under way. A stranger, played by Christopher Lloyd, shows up on the Addams doorstep, claiming to be long-lost Uncle Fester. It appears, however, that Lloyd is a ringer, in cahoots with attorney... Less

The Addams Family (1973) Season 1 on DVD-R: Region ALL, 4 discsStarring: Te d Cassidy, Jackie Coogan, Jodie Foster, Pat HarringtonThe Addams Family is not your typical family: they take delight in most of the things that normal people would be terrified of. Gomez Adams is an extremely wealthy man, and is able to indulge his wife Morticia's every desire: be it cultivation of poisonous plants, or a candlelit dinner in a graveyard. People visiting the Addams Family just don't seem to appreciate the 7 foot tall butler Lurch or the helping hand (which is just a disembodied hand named Thing.

It's love at first fright when Gomez (Raul Julia) and Morticia (Anjelica Huston) welcome a new addition to the Addams household -- Pubert, their soft, cuddly, mustachioed baby boy.

The family's future grows even bleaker when the no-good nanny marries Feste r and has the kids shipped off to summer camp. But Wednesday still has a Thing or two up her sleeve... With gags and ghouls galore, Addams Fa mily Values is screamingly funny! (Jeff Craig, Sixty Second Preview)

The ghoulish cartoon family created by Charles Addams returns for a second big-screen outing darker and nastier than the first. When Morticia Addams (Anjelica Huston) gives birth to new baby boy Pubert, the other Addams children, Pugsley (Jimmy Workman) and Wednesday (Christina Ricci), devise any number of ways to kill off their new sibling. This leads Morticia and her husband, Gomez Raul Julia, to hire a nanny (Joan Cusack) to oversee all three children. But the nanny has an agenda of her own, packing the Addams children off to a horrid parody of summer camp and setting out to seduce Uncle Fester (Christopher Lloyd), all with the goal of getting her hands on the Addams family fortune. Of course, the Addams eventually triumph, with this blacker-than-most satire extolling the virtues... Less

Director Barry Sonnenfeld (Men in Black) brings his distinctly cartoonish sensibility to this feature film version of the old Charles Addams comic strip. Anjelica Huston was born to play Morticia Addams, matriarch of the ghoulish Addams clan, while the late Raul Julia is a very agreeable, lusty Gomez. But it's Christina Ricci who arguably steals the show as their stone-faced daughter, Wednesday. As is often the problem with adaptations of comics or television shows, somehow an original story has to be implemented that doesn't clutter things up. But clutter is an issue here as the script gets tangled on a lame plot concerning efforts to steal the Addams' house and fortune. Still, it's fun to see an ideal cast reanimate an old favorite. --Tom Keogh

They're goofy and kooky, they're curious and spooky ... they're The Addams Family! In this animated series based on cartoonist Charles Addams' characters, one of America's wackiest and friendliest families are animated and ready to share their adventures with you, from their seemingly macabre mansion to the moon. Featuring Morticia, Gomez, Wednesday, Pugsley (voiced by a young Jodie Foster!), Uncle Fester, Granny, Lurch, Thing and more, this is one family that is so charmed by life and their unique take on it, choosing to see only the good in everything and everybody, that, in their odd way, they make the rest of the world look strange. Isn't it time to get acquainted - or reacquainted - with The Addams Family?

Based on the cartoons of Charles Addams this creepy and kooky series from the 1960s features everyone's favorite freaky family. In this collection of 21 classic episodes patriarch Gomez John Astin takes at stab at being mayor Cousin It goes bald Pugsley transforms into a chimp thanks to the efforts of his dear uncle Fester and Lurch takes the music world by storm. This delightfully dark show appears to be as immortal as its strange characters.

It's especially fun to return to the original 1960s ADDAMS FAMILY television series after latter-day feature-length revisitations like 1993's ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES. The VOLUME 1 set compiles 22 episodes from the first season. The silly spooky band of ghouls straight from the mind of creator Charles Addams have lost none of their charm in the intervening decades and this handsome set which includes commentary featurettes and theme song karaoke gives fans a chance to experience the fun all over again.

The first 22 episodes of The Addams Family are present on the triple-DVD set, looking and sounding better than they ever have in syndicated reruns -- the full-screen black-and-white image (1.33-to-1) is so beautifully transferred, than you can see every delightfully bizarre detail of the decor in the Addams home. And each disc opens automatically to a simple, easy-to-use menu that also includes easy access to the bonus features -- the latter include a karaoke version of the theme song, a delightful featurette called You Rang, Mr. Addams, and audio commentary on four episodes (including the series debut) by surviving cast members Ken Weatherwax, Lisa Loring, and Felix Silla (who played Cousin Itt) -- their discussion ranges freely across the history of the series, and their reminiscences...

This somewhat more cohesive follow-up to The Addams Family has the same director, Barry Sonnenfeld (Men in Black), but a better story line. Joan Cusack plays a busty gold digger who ingratiates herself into the Addams home and convinces Uncle Fester (Christopher Lloyd) that she wants to marry him. Besides Lloyd, the cast includes Anjelica Huston and Raul Julia, ideal as those Brontëan lovers, Morticia and Gomez. But Christina Ricci again walks away with the best moments as the chilly Wednesday Addams, making life miserable for two camp counselors (Peter MacNicol and Christine Baranski) who want her to fit in with other kids.--Tom Keogh

If The Munsters was a traditional family sitcom as reimagined by Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine, The Addams Family is a macabre twist on Father Knows Best. The Munster and Addams clans made their TV debuts in 1964 and lasted two seasons before the networks buried them. The Addamses are now gloriously resurrected in this three-disc set that digs up the series' first 22 episodes (oddly, 12 shy of the complete first season). Inspired by Charles Addams's New Yorker cartoons, The Addams Family is fiendishly funny, with a dead-on cast that indelibly embodies Addams's characters. John Astin brings a demented glee to eccentric, frighteningly wealthy Gomez Addams. Carolyn Jones is bewitching as his pre-goth wife, Morticia, whom the Beatles might have had in mind when they sang, Baby's in... Less
