These movies were so iconic to the '90's goth Gen X scene. Raul Julia, Anjelica Huston, and Christina Ricci were all born to play Gomez, Morticia, and Wednesday Addams.

RIP, Raul Julia. 1940-1994. He was the best Gomez Addams.

I've seen a lot of people react to this and so many got confused on if he was really Fester or not. You had it nailed, from the dance coming back to him, to his "mother" mentioning how she found him. Way to pay attention to those details, bro!

The great thing many miss about the Addams Family is this, they are the ideal family. The kids are well behaved, the husband loves and treats his wife like a queen, and the wife is a excellent home maker and supports her children in their interests and backs up her husband. They are the perfect version of a loving, caring, functioning family, just their interests and proclivities are on the more morbid side of things.

The "kids are well behaved" part is a bit questionable. It works for the Addams' but Wednesday regularly tries to kill Pugsley. In the second movie, in addition to more of the same homicidal behavior from Wednesday and new homicidal behavior from Pugsley, the children are seen sawing the railing of the stairs. Seemingly fine for the Addams', but not exactly "well behaved" to others.

“… but don’t worry… we’ve told Wednesday, college first.” -Morticia

Primate, The Addams Family began life as a group of single panic comic strips in the 1930s. Charles Addams was a satirist and cartoonist who invented the family to lampoon normal American culture by showing it twisted with the dark and macabre. The 1960s show was based on it, but toned it down for tv. These films were unconnected to the show, but hit sued for the use of Cousin Itt. The Addams Family is a rights issues nightmare. There are several different iterations that are in no way connected by any canon.

Love this movie. The second one, Addams Family Values is just as good. Just wisht that there was a third movie. They had plans but Raul Julia who played Gomez had passed away from a heart attack. Most of the cast did not come back and the "third" movie isn't really a fit.

@melenatorr

He was only 54 when he died. During production on the second movie, his condition affected his energy and the script and direction tried hard to accommodate him. When Angelica Huston was approached for this first movie, she was reluctant: the tv series was, to use a word already tired, iconic, and she was anxious not only about living up to Carolyn Jones, but about who could be cast as Gomez after the classic eccentricities and energy of John Astin. I remember reading that when she was told it would be Raul Julia, her eyes lit up. Angelica Huston is the daughter of John Huston, the famous and gifted screenwriter/director. He, in turn, was the son of the magnificent actor Walter Huston, who, in sort of link to the Addams family, played Mr. Scratch in a delightful adaptation of "The Devil and Daniel Webster", aka "All That Money Can Buy".

Glad to see your girl back for a reaction, havent seen her in a while. She talked so little in past videos I had no clue she had an accent lol She seems more comfortable on camera now, great reaction, cant wait to see you react to Addams family Values and Wednesday! 👍

Wednesday is it's own continuity, but it will do good to be a little familiar with the franchise.

The languages was a popular action from the series: Gomez was from a Spanish background and would occasionally use Spanish, but the kicker was when Morticia would use French, which was an instant amorous trigger for John Astin's Gomez (and it could be pretty much any language from Morticia that would set him off). Here's a sample from the series: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y2Gmt7Gre9nPf7A.html

When the 1960's TV show came out (based on the Depression Era newspaper cartoon strip) all the new shows were coming out in color. But *The Addams Family* was a B&W throwback. When they were made, the original show was so quirky and beloved I didn't think the movies would be anything but a cash grab. But I was wrong -- this movie and the sequel recreate the spirit of the original show really, really well. I wish I could say the same for other remakes.

So happy to see both of you back reacting.

With daughter Wednesday as nearly everyone's favorite (and the breakout star, as evidenced by the Netflix series directed by Tim Burton) & the parents Gomez & Morticia (often shortened to Tish) are couple goals.

I love this movie and it's sequel. It's the perfect Addams movies. You should also watch the original Addams family tv series from the 60s. It's really good. They are a really great and devoted family who like creepy stuff.

I love this movie. I watched the original TV serious when they were showing reruns on TV. The original Gomez, John Astin, was the second actor to play the Riddler in the Adam West Batman series. The original actress that played Mortica was in the Vincent Price movie House of Wax. MC Hammer did a song for this movie. You should watch that video. Everyone casted perfectly in this movie.

Just wait till the next one, Addams Family Values. It's well over twice as good as this first one

Fun fact, the Gomez and Morticia actors from the 1964 Addams Family TV series did have a star crossed lovers thing going on and that may be the origin of the frequent show of affection between the two that continued in this and subsequent versions. (People who never watched 1964 only the films are REALLY missing out imho, can you maybe react at least to the pilot?)

She got her name from the old classic English Children's Rhyme; "Monday's child is Fair of Face, Tuesday's child is Fair of Face, Wednesday's child is Full of Woe, Thursday's child has Far to Go..." This film was released on Thanksgiving weekend, therefore the Christmassy opening. The Hand is named "Thing". The hairy little critter in bowler hat is Cousin It. All based on Charles Addams' characters he created in the early 1930s, originally a single-panel comic, and grew into the early '60s tv show. The late, great Raul Julia was so fantastic in his portrayal of Gomez. Good catch - she said she should've left him where she found him!

The Addams family is the best family. If everyone's family was like that the world would be a lot more fun. And yes that was the real Fester

They didn’t use CGI for Thing. If you’re referring to the ‘hollowed’ look in his wrist, that was intentionally done.

A classic movie 🎥

It started as a comic strip by Charles Addams, then the '60's television show.

Lets go!!!!..shes gorgeous!!!..the og Wednesday ...period!!!

Christopher Lloyd was Jim on the classic television show, 'Taxi', starring Judd Hirsch, Danny DeVito, Marilu Henner, Jeff Conway and Andy Kaufman.

Of all the amazing 90s things about this movie I TOTALLY forgot that MC Hammer did parts of the soundtrack lol lol lol. Nothing more 90s than that!

Two in this series. Only two.

Thing was an actual hand, i believe he was played by a trained mime, using a variety of tricks to bring him to life.

1:20 Fun Fact for you, Primate: In Original 1960's TV series of "The Addams Family", that disembodied hand, "Thing", was also played by actor Ted Kassidy who played Lurch, The Family's Butler, which was why you'd never see thing in the same scenes together Also, Ted Kassidy, who played Lurch in the original TV show, also did the voice-over narrative in the TV series of "The Incredible Hulk" which starred Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno

In the 90s Hollywood was on a binge making movies out of popular 60s and 70s TV shows. The other 60s tv show similar to this is The Munsters. I have read they were never able to successfully make a movie out of The Munsters because the actors from the show were so beloved and strongly identified with the characters. I would definitely check out that show, it was hilarious, light hearted, and very well done.

@DanJackson1977

They made several TV movies out of the munsters... some better than others. And the original Munsters DID have a movie, Munstera Go Home. But bottom line, Fred Gwynne is irreplaceable as Herman. It's his hight, his voice, his mannerisms, and his face that was so perfect for that character... but most importantly it's his pathos.

Angelica Houston plays Mortica in this movie. She did a horror movie for kids called The Witches based off a Ronald Dahl book.

0:21 "I Think There's A TV Show From Before This, I Don't Know If It's Connected To This Or There's Remakes" The original TV series was From the 1960's, this movie and Addams Family Values are from the 90's and there was another TV series titled "The New Addams Family"

I love this movie. I loved the old tv show too. It was so different back in the day and it was written pretty well for the time. Although, the characters aren't exactly portrayed as they were in the original comic strip. In the Wednesday tv show, Gomez and Morticia are portrayed closer to their comic strip characters. But it's all good and can't wait for you to watch the next movie. Although I did like the first one the most. I think the cast was great. Christina Ricci killed it. She will always be Wednesday Addams in my mind forever. And she was my favorite character in the movie. In the old tv show, Morticia and Gomez were my favorite characters as Wednesday didn't have that large of a part. Well done, Primate. Great!

This is a great movie and the sequel is great too. Also, I think he should definitely react to The Thirteenth Warrior. I could be considered horror or scary, but it’s really good, when Antonio Banderas was young and getting his start

The opening is a nod to the New Yorker one-panel strips, whereby the kooky macabre family dumps boiling oil onto unsuspecting Christmas carolers. The family relies in things most common folk consider abnormal & unsettling. Nonetheless, even if they appear to be nigh-unkillable & revel in pain mixed with pleasure, they are otherwise a loving, supportive family.

Halloween Movies: Goosebumps 1&2, Corpse Bride 2005, The Curse Of Bride Hollow 2022.

2:50 Frankenstein is the scientist, not the monster. The monster doesn't have a name

10:32 Hey, Primate, the actress that played Wednesday in this movie is none other than Christina Ricci

From the original TV series lore, Thing (the hand) was a failed experiment Wednesday and Pugsley had done.

Great movie! I love It. React to The Addams Family 2

7:13 "Is That Christopher Lloyd?" Good eye, Primate That is indeed Christopher Lloyd

you'll somehow see the difference from how they depict wednesday in the series and in this movie; many people were so confused how her dynamic with her family drastically changed, I quickly got into her new depiction cuz I watched the 2 animated movies, she's a teenager at that point too (part 2 sucks tho) I'd rather suggest to watch this & family values

Can't believe you've never watched this Addams family is a classic👍🏻 my favorite goth family 💜🖤

The hand's name was " Thing". Gordon was actually Fester Addams.

In fact, there's only two movies with these actors. The three legs' pyjamas means Morticia is pregnant.

The special effects in this movie are so much better than modern movies because most of it it's practical effects. The hand for example, it's very well done. If this was done today it'd be CGI crap and it wouldn't even look real.

I live near westfield, NJ, where the actual 'Addams' house is and where charles Addams, the creator, is from. Every Halloween is Addams family themed

Part 2 is my favorite

Christopher Lloyd's face - almost totally obscured in alien make up surrounded by people in simiilar make up in Bukaroo Banzai - you can still tell him from the others.
