The Addams Family 2

2021

The Addams get tangled up in more wacky adventures and find themselves involved in hilarious run-ins with all sorts of unsuspecting characters.

Ages 10+Source checked

Why this age? PG animated fantasy comedy includes kidnapping, frightening transformations, peril, a villain's on-screen death, and emotionally intense family-identity conflict, though the tone is broad and comic. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.

What’s in it?

Products & advertising1/5
Why this rating?

Contains incidental merchandising potential typical of a major franchise release.

Death of a character2/5
Why this rating?

The villain Cyrus falls off a cliff to his death; the event is framed as a cartoon action climax rather than sustained grief.

Graphic injury1/5
Why this rating?

Minimal, includes some mutations and creature transformations, but they are comedic rather than graphic.

Strong language1/5
Why this rating?

Language appears limited to occasional mild insults or rude humor; no strong profanity or slurs are identified.

Romance1/5
Why this rating?

Romantic content is slight: Ophelia falls in love with Pugsley, with family relationships otherwise central.

Frightening scenes3/5
Why this rating?

Supernatural characters, monster transformations, pursuit, captivity, and a cliffside confrontation may frighten younger viewers, though the tone is comic.

Violence3/5
Why this rating?

Peril, traps, pursuit, captivity, a rescue fight, and an attempted killing occur in exaggerated animated-comedy style.

What’s good in it?

Courage & resilience3/5
Why this rating?

Wednesday and her family confront manipulation, separation, captivity, dangerous experiments, and a monster threat with determination.

Creativity & curiosity3/5
Why this rating?

Inventive supernatural characters, DNA experiments, hybrid creatures, absurd settings, and imaginative problem-solving are central to the film.

Diverse representation1/5
Why this rating?

Diverse voice cast, but the central family characters are largely fixed in archetypes.

Educational value1/5
Why this rating?

Highlights various American landmarks during the road trip.

Kindness & empathy3/5
Why this rating?

Compassion motivates Wednesday's refusal to assist Cyrus, the family's rescue efforts, and the eventual acceptance of outsiders.

Positive messages3/5
Why this rating?

The story emphasizes family bonds, compassion, acceptance, resisting exploitation, and valuing chosen family over biological claims.

Good role models2/5
Why this rating?

The family shows loyalty and compassion, and Wednesday refuses to help exploit others, though their dangerous behavior is often played for comedy.
