Join The Addams Family as they embark on one twisted road trip in the new trailer for THE ADDAMS FAMILY 2
See it in theaters or on demand on October 1
In Addams Family 2, everyone’s favorite spooky family is back in an animated comedy sequel. In this all new movie we find Morticia and Gomez distraught that their children are growing up, skipping family dinners, and totally consumed with “scream time.” To reclaim their bond they decide to cram Wednesday, Pugsley, Uncle Fester and the crew into their haunted camper and hit the road for one last miserable family vacation. Their adventure across America takes them out of their element and into hilarious run-ins with their iconic cousin, IT, as well as many new kooky characters. What could possibly go wrong?
We had a chance to talk to Nick Kroll (Uncle Fester) and he spoke to us about his experience working in the movie and much more.
