The trailer for "The Addams Family" animated movie dropped a few days ago -- and it looks like a lot of fun! I'm a big fan of the old "Addams Family" TV show and a huge fan of the "Addams Family" movies from the early 90s, so it's all but a given that I'll watch this movie when it's released in the fall.
But it's the trailer's intro that's got me really excited check this out:
It's always a fun surprise when same-sex families show up in commercials or children's programming. And it happens enough anymore that it's not as newsworthy when examples crop up -- which is great in and of itself!
But it's the trailer's intro that's got me really excited check this out:
This is an average American family. And so is this. And so are these.You need to watch the trailer, but it starts with a conventional sketching of a white heterosexual family. It shifts to a black family. But then it shifts to an image of a two-dad family (with a disabled daughter, no less). And then it shifts to a multi-racial two-mom family. And then several other family types before highlighting one of the most different families of all: The Addams Family!
Every family is different, but some families are more different than others.
