* MagnificentBitch: Wednesday Addams, reimagined here as a MadScientist, retains her [[TheStoic stoic]] charm and quick thinking. Repeatedly coming up with creative ways to kill her brother and wanting to make her own way in the world, Wednesday starts public school, where she revives a bunch of dead frogs to cause a school-wide panic and humiliate an AlphaBitch. Befriending Parker and eventually imprisoned while Margaux tries to kill her family, Wednesday uses Parker's hairpin to escape and rescues her family, while having Parker film Margaux's freak-out and costing Margaux her show. When Gomez forces her to go on a family trip and enter a pageant, Wednesday uses a bunch of red paint to ruin it. She captures Mr. Mustela, who has been following her family, before dropping him to his death. Being led to believe that Cyrus Strange is actually her father, Wednesday uses Lurch's musical talents to convince a group of bikers to take them to Sausalito and later saves her family from Strange, before using her quick thinking to turn the mutated Uncle Fester back to normal.

* QuestionableCasting::
** While the acting casting choices of the titular family were very well received, some fans felt that the actors [[note]]Particularly Creator/OscarIsaac and Creator/CharlizeTheron as Gomez and Morticia, respectively[[/note]] would have been dead ringers to play the characters in a live action version, rather than just doing the voices for an animated film.
** Cousin Itt is voiced by, of all the CelebrityVoiceActor options... ''Music/SnoopDogg''? Even with Itt's [[TheUnintelligible method of speaking]] It's kinda difficult to not tell that it's him with getting billing in the opening and Itt's entrance to the gathering by gaudy limousine with "Drop It Like It's Hot" blaring out, dressed exactly as how Snoop Dogg would dress most days. [[note]] Though this is a MythologyGag to the [=90s=] film which at the time had a song by the then popular Music/MCHammer who made a music video for the the first movie and whose song is heard playing when Itt comes to the family reunion in that film. [[AdvertisedExtra He barely even appears, anyway.]][[/note]]

Added DiffLines:

* UnintentionalUncannyValley: While the designs of the established characters are adapted very faithfully from the source material, this more exaggerated art style doesn't translate as well to the film's [[CanonForeigner original human characters]]. This is particularly egregious with Wednesday's friend Parker, who has huge lips, no chin, cylinder nose and a body like a toothpick, which makes her [[{{Irony}} by far the more weird-looking of the two]].

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process

About the work causing it, not effected by.


* AudienceColoringAdaptation: The fact that the live-action Addams Family films are this has caused this film to suffer criticism directed towards the character designs, which are more based on the original comics (and thus "ugly" in the eyes of fans who are more used to Creator/RaulJulia and Creator/AnjelicaHuston playing the characters).

* TheScrappy: The film's BigBad Margaux Needler is disliked for no other reason than being a KarmaHoudini despite having committed very serious offenses that are worthy of jail time.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The AdaptationalAngstUpgrade the family receives in regards to their creepy nature, and changes such as Mortica being more closed off and reluctant to interact with outsiders has received this response from many fans, who felt the changes miss the point of the Addams Family and why they're humorous.

Some Anvils Need To Be Dropped got cut and this is covered under An Aesop.


* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: The movie is in no way subtle about it, but the [[AnAesop aesop]] about not attacking others for being different, letting people be themselves, and everyone being weird in their own way is as relevant as ever.
