The look of the characters in the new The Addams Family animated feature has been under scrutiny since their designs were first revealed late last year. Based on the original comic designs by Charles Addams, many complained the character designs didn’t translate well into the new CGI format. And apparently, that format doesn’t translate well into a plush either.
Walgreens is selling a collection of Addams Family plush figures inspired by the upcoming film that plays the Addams Family theme song when you squeeze them, and after I posted some photos of the new figures on Instagram, people began taking issue with the appearance of one family member, in particular, Morticia Addams.
While some Addams Family fans were excited to see the new figures, some couldn’t help but comment on the awkward appearance of Morticia. The consensus among commenters? Morticia either looks like Roger the alien from “American Dad” or Michael Jackson. Check out some of the highlights from the comments below:
Since reading these comments I can’t unsee it, especially Roger. There’s a part of me that wants to buy one just so I can hack the soundbox to play a line from Roger in “American Dad.”
