    The Addams Family 2
    If I were making excuses for this film I would probably say it was a victim of being released just as cinemas were reopening/getting back up to speed after the pandemic.

    However, it can't be denied that this was a lesser sequel. The first of these animated versions of 'The Addams Family' was ok while not being spectacular, but this one tries to take the family on a road trip and it doesn't quite work.

    I didn't really care for the animation style, or some of the vocal performances from the seemingly now standard all-star voice cast, and it all left me a bit cold.

    I hear/see no plans for a sequel, and when 'Wednesday' came along and blew the whole franchise up (for the better) I think this and the original film have become forgotten already.

    It seems as if the humor well ran dry pretty early
    The 2019 animated Addams Family movie was average. The Addams Family 2 was less than that. I don't know exactly what happened in the writers' room as they were creating this half-baked sequel, but it seems as if the humor well ran dry pretty early. The story runs out of steam early on and they just start repeating jokes (usually the bodily function type) to try and liven things up. It doesn't work. The plot is quite thin, too, and yet they try very hard to stretch it out to the required runtime. The animation was interesting, I guess, but watching this sequel just left me feeling underwhelmed.
