When an evil doctor finds out Uncle Fester has been missing for 25 years, he introduces a fake Fester in an attempt to get the Addams family's money. Wednesday has some doubts about the new uncle Fester, but the fake uncle adapts very well to the strange family.
This movie contains 25 potentially triggering events.
Well i find the Addams family very supporting and loving, they do dark things as torture for fun. And hurt eachother vulentarly. But its mostly light. I feel like other children Get Worse treated in the story. Like some parents Are really emotional abusive towards their Child and this is deemed normal, which is toxic.
The wife of one of the villains falls in love with a different character, but they don't have sex or kiss, only talk and dance together. The villain dies at the end and his wife goes on to marry the character she fell in love with, but there's no indication that she was truly cheating while she was married. This is presented as a happy scenario since her first marriage was a very unhappy one.
A few scenes made me a little nervous but the movie is safe! A man spits out cereal in the beginning and later uncle fester spits out a bit of water. Neither scene was triggering to me 😁
A man spits out some cereal near the start after Gomez hits a baseball through his window. Not quite spitting but Gomez licks his hand to turn some pages, he is in his office holding a sword saying "business" a lot. Also a woman licks a handkerchief to wipe over her son's face, he's dressed as an elf.
Their house is NOT an abandoned mental institution in this film, that element was introduced by the more recent cartoon films. However, two minor characters are shown being put in a straightjacket and taken away in an ambulance with the name of an institution on the side--although they are smiling/laughing about this and don't seem to be being harmed, and I suppose it's technically possible that they're not actually inmates in an institution and just enjoy wearing a straightjacket and being driven around in an old ambulance for fun, given the weirdness of this family?
Mildly, in that a character dances with and kisses someone who is implied to be a very distant cousin of his (as she is invited to party that was stated to just be for the family)--note that it is a very large extended family, there is no resemblance between them, they don't share a surname, and there's a chance they're not biologically related at all. "Cousins" who are more distant than third cousins don't share enough DNA for most people to consider it incest, so it's up to the viewer's interpretation of how closely related they might be.
An old woman grins and waves at the mention of a charity for "the elderly and mentally disabled". However, she is not otherwise shown to have dementia--she is a strange and quirky person but so are her whole family--so it was likely a self-deprecating joke.
