My Thoughts

You know my thoughts on the first film. Despite it not being very good and looking hideous, I did mildly enjoy that film. This sequel is much the same story. I think I may like this one even slightly more than the first. But, again, I still don't think that it's very good. 

But for what it is, I was mildly amused by this film and enjoyed it somewhat. I liked the characters here better, too, especially Wednesday has a pretty solid arc of realizing who her true family is.

The animation is still decent and I also just want to say that the new character designs (note, not the old returning character designs like the Addams family themselves) do look better and less grotesque than in the first movie. 

I do find it odd though that Parker and her mother are completely absent here. Margeaux ended up with Fester in the last movie, and Parker was Wednesday's best friend. But they're both not even mentioned here which is just odd.

But overall this was a decent movie. Not great, I don't even really recommend it, but it's okay enough to me.
