The full voice cast for the upcoming animated Addams Family film was announced earlier this week, with the internet having mixed reactions to the entire endeavor.

Oscar Isaac is set to play Gomez, Charlize Theron will play Morticia, while fellow Oscar-winner Allison Janney has been tapped to play her rival Margaux Needler. Bette Midler (Hocus Pocus), Chloë Grace Moretz (Kick-Ass), Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things), and Nick Kroll (Big Mouth) have been cast as Grandmama, Wednesday, Pugsley, and Uncle Fester, respectively.
While the impressive roster of talent tapped to play the characters has received near-unanimous praise, some fans are disappointed that we won’t see these actors play the characters in a live-action film. Other fans voiced their frustrations with the look of the characters, yet other noted how similar they look to their earliest illustrated incarnations.

we’re finally getting a new addams family where oscar isaac is gomez but it’s a cartoon that looks nothing like him and if that isn’t the definition of a true monkey’s paw curse then i don’t know what is

Can’t we just have another live action Addams Family with Charlize Theron and Oscar Isaac as Morticia and Gomez instead?

Intrigued by the new #addamsfamily animated film. The Addams Family originally started as a cartoon strip by Charles Addams in the New Yorker that premiered in 1938 before finding later success in film and television. pic.twitter.com/Z6PCxDuH5k

There’s a new animated Addams Family movie coming and all I can think is that Fester looks like the love child of Gru and Big Bird. pic.twitter.com/Bl53xj4CzU

I doubted the idea of an animated Addams family but like they’re going full stylized which is what you gotta do

Can we just take the time to appreciate how much the new animated Addams Family film looks almost straight out of the comics? pic.twitter.com/fLbYKhL7pc

Am I the only one getting Tim Burton vibes from this new image of Addams Family? Well, he was originally going to direct one, but still I love these new designs from Conrad Vernon and crew! pic.twitter.com/3ktHtdRh5H
