Let it be said: the bad guys are always the most fascinating characters in cinema. The arrival of The Addams Family on Prime Video on March 13 is an opportunity to reconnect with these big-hearted monsters, put on the front of the stage!
The sun is shining, the birds are singing and the flowers are blooming… These harbingers of the return of spring delight most people, but others would have preferred to stay in autumn. Is that for some, Halloween is the most beautiful holiday of the year. Fortunately, the entry of The Addams Family in the Prime Video catalog comes at the right time to obscure your sweet week!
On this occasion, an overview of the most Machiavellian animated films with which the platform abounds.
The Addams Family
Available exclusively on Prime Video, The Addams Family marks the great return to cinema of the most monstrous (mentally endearing) of families after more than twenty years of absence.
While the Addams prepare the Mazurka of their eldest Pugsley as well as possible, the projects of a real estate agent come to complicate this monstrous family reunion….
Directed by Conrad Vernon (Shrek 2), this new adaptation brings together the most beautiful voices of Hollywood to bring the characters to life: Oscar Isaac, Charlize Theron, Chloë Grace Moretz or even Finn Wolfhard, one of the precocious talents revealed by Stranger Things . On the music side, the titles interpreted by Snoop Dogg and Christina Aguilera were real hits.
The Addams Family: A Ride From Hell
When there’s more, there’s more ! After their adventures in the first opus, the Addams are back for a holiday… couldn’t be more original.
Gomez and Morticia must this time face the most monstrous of metamorphoses: adolescence. Indeed, their children Pugsley and Mercredi have grown well. Too much, for their taste.
In an attempt to reconnect family ties, they decide to pack the whole family in their haunted RV and hit the road for the last family vacation. Of course, nothing will go as planned!

Me, ugly and mean
If monsters are not your forte, rest assured: Prime Video has kept a place of choice for criminal masterminds!
A real success on its release, which became cult for its little mascots in overalls, Me, ugly and mean tells the story of Gru (Steve Carell in the original version, Gad Elmaleh with us), the greatest villain of all time.
Ready to do anything to establish his domination over his rivals, this master of evil wants to mount the biggest heist of all time and steal… the Moon! Surrounded by his minions, the Minions, he develops his plan in his lair. But his plans are threatened by the unexpected arrival of three orphans, who see him as more than just a criminal.
Lovers of this cult saga rejoice: the second opus is also available on the platform, as well as the film Les Minions!
Hotel Transylvania 4: Monster Changes
Impossible to forget Dexter’s Laboratory and The Powerpuff Girls, two essential series of the 90s. But did you know that their creator was also at the origin of a cult animation saga?
After a first film in 2012, the Hotel Transylvania saga was a resounding success. In addition to its quality dubbing, provided in France by Kad Merad and Virginie Efira, these films give the most feared monsters a place of choice. Vampires, mummies and other werewolves rub shoulders there in the hotel of the charismatic Dracula and his daughter Mavis, living ever more incredible adventures with each opus.
In this final installment, released in 2022, Dracula and his band undergo, to their great displeasure, the most horrible of transformations: they are changed into humans. But their new life is, to their surprise, far from rosy! Then begins a race against time to reverse the process and find their true nature.
These films are available on Prime Video.
