Animated ADDAMS FAMILY: Mychael Danna & Jeff Danna’s Score Debuts Digitally

“THE ADDAMS FAMILY is a luscious piece of macabre design. The characters have been computer-drawn so that they’re exceedingly close to the ones in Charles Addams’ original cartoons, and the film is full of keen visual details like Lurch’s ancient cracked fingernails, or Wednesday’s pigtails braided like hanging nooses, or the army of spiders that comes scuttling out of Morticia’s dress to form a bridge over the bottomless pit in the basement.” – Variety

“The score combines non-western musical traditions with orchestral music to wildly creative effect.” – Bloody Disgusting

America’s favorite creepy and kooky family are back in this CG animated film!  Co-directed by Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon (Sausage Party), the film features score by Academy Award Winner Mychael Danna (The Life of Pi, Little Miss Sunshine) and EMMY Nominee Jeff Danna (Alias Grace, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus).  The original soundtrack album is out now digitally on all major music services: Download/Listen.

This new film is based on the original drawings of Charles Addams’ 1938 cartoons in The New Yorker.  The Addams Family stars an all-star voice cast of Oscar Isaac, Charlize Theron, Chloe Grace Moretz, Finn Wolfhard, Bette Midler, Snoop Dogg and more.

United Artists Releasing presents THE ADDAMS FAMILY, now in theaters.
