Based on the famous New Yorker creations of Charles Addams, this animated action-comedy follows the Addams family—parents Gomez and Morticia, children Wednesday and Pugsley, Uncle Fester, Grandma, Cousin It, faithful butler Lurch, and helping hand Thing—whose lives begin to unravel when they face off against a crafty reality-TV host whilst also preparing for their extended family to arrive for a major celebration, Addams-style.
This companion book is filled with concept designs, storyboards, and production art, alongside insights from the artists, filmmakers, and directors.
