The Addams Family Full Length Reaction
Added 2024-09-17 13:00:14 +0000 UTCThis was JUST AS MUCH OF A TREAT as I knew it would be!!!! There is a version on Amazon that has a longer Mamushka dance scene, so if yours gets out of sync around then, you might be watching the extended version!!

Love this movie. Definitely a fave from when I was a kid and it's always fun to re-visit. Because you asked in the video: Charles Addams created the characters for The New Yorker in the 1930s (the opening scene of the movie with the cauldron is actually taken from one of the cartoon panels)...he would draw regular cartoons for the magazine and it was later turned into a sitcom in the 1960s. I guess Charles Addams based the appearance of Morticia on his wife. And Wednesday got her name from and old poem...where it basically gives the significance of when a baby was born. "Wednesday's child is full of woe, Thursday's child has long to go" etc. And the casting for this movie is beyond perfection. I love how Raul Julia and Anjelica Huston balance each other...him with his almost manic energy, and her with her cool, mysterious vibe. And their chemistry was off the charts. Raul Julia was so incredibly talented, and he passed away way too soon, not long after the second Addams Family movie came out (which you should check out!), and Anjelica Huston was born to play Morticia...seriously, look up pictures of her mother and you'll see it's in her DNA.
