That is, of course, the 2019 animated filmThe Addams Family, not entirely to be confused with the 1991 film of the same name or its 1993 sequelAddams Family Values. “Not entirely”, though, are the operative words to consider, because some aspects of this animated film are more indebted to Barry Sonnenfeld’s delightfully deadpan live-action comedies than they are the Charles AddamsNew Yorkercartoons that first introduced the world to this murderous family next door....
