The Addams Family: Mychael Danna & Jeff Danna’s Score Debuts Digitally, Creepy and Kooky Animated Film Now Playing!

The Addams Family | Mychael Danna & Jeff Danna

“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).  Their score, The Addams Family–Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is out now digitally on all major music services!
