After Raul Julia died, no one wanted to make another Addams Family sequel. So in 1998 they went back to the drawing board and recast all the characters (aside from Lurch and Thing's hand model). It's hard to know whether to call this direct-to-video rubbish the third in the "trilogy" or a standalone effort. Tim Curry and Darryl Hannah take over as Gomez and Morticia and do the best they can with the rote material. Unfortunately, the studio notes for this movie were to make it as family-friendly as possible and eliminate most of the dark, sardonic humor that is the staple of the series. The result is sadly forgettable.
There wouldn't be another entry until 2019 when it went completely CGI.
