Jesse, you're right. But with Illumination on their side (responsible for the upcoming Despicable Me), they may have a chance to turn things around. *crosses fingers*

As for this project, I have my doubts. I'm a HUGE fan of the original Addams strips. I own them all. Maybe in his younger days, Burton would've pushed for the wit that's needed for this, but now I think he's been wooed too much by licensing and films accessible to all ages for the bigger buck.

I don't think he'll push for an Addams film that will be more for adults than children because that would "mislead the audience" as a studio might say. Remember, he was practically kicked out of Disney for Frankenweenie because it was deemed to scary for families. Back then, he would've been great for this project. Now I have my doubts.

He needs to get back to writing his own material. I'm dying for something fresh like Scisshorhands was when it came out.

When I heard Tim Burton+stop motion+ Addames family I got excited. When I heard from Universal Animation my heart sunk. They haven't made a good animated movies since what, the 80s?

When we like to thank one of the Jesus' we tend to think of the manger version.

You know, he's not always baby Jesus. I like to imagine Jesus as a guy with a tuxedo jaket shirt, cuz it says to me, hey, I'm formal, but I like to party.
