On the old TV show, she wasn’t much more than an amusingly dour child novelty act. In fact, Addams Family Values is probably a major reason that so much Addams Family material since then has focused on Wednesday.
The second live-action Addams Family is shorter, smarter, and all-around funnier than the first movie, and it particularly deepens the character of Wednesday Addams, played by a young Christina Ricci. 1993’s Addams Family Values didn’t do nearly as well as the first movie, but it provided a model for that great rarity, the exceptional comedy sequel.
But in 1991, when the Addams Family first moved past their comics origins and subsequent 1960s TV show and into a feature film, it was a smash hit, swiftly followed by a sequel. The target audience won’t remember this, because they likely weren’t born at the time. The second animated Addams Family movie has big shoes to fill - but they aren’t the shoes of its middling 2019 predecessor.
