Welcome to fine tuning with Drew Taylor, your one-stop shop when it comes to

animation news and commentary. I'm Drew's co-host entertainment writer Jim

Hill and Mr. Taylor and I are recording this show on on Thursday August 8th 2019 and

are we of the same mind in regard to the the Adams family trailer that just dropped? I mean just

disbelief mostly or what what what mindset are you in right now? I I think it was better

than the last one. I'm still a little concerned about I don't know if it's the art direction or the rendering it's it's still it's kind of startling.

Yeah, it looks a little unfinished.

Yeah.

And this thing is coming out like soon, so.

On the other hand, I liked some of the gags. I liked, um, you know, I, I don't know, I want this to work, I really do. I could, I have. I could, I have to, I really do I I like some of the individual gags it was

you know the one of you know they're driving into New Jersey and the state

motto is what are you looking at? You know I but to put the

Adams family in suburbia? Yeah it's just it's very confusing because it's like they're in suburbia, but they're in the same house in suburbia.

It just didn't, it didn't make a lot of sense to me but you know who knows we don't have a we don't have a

hotel transylvania movie to watch this year so maybe it'll scratch that that

it how do we feel about a snoop dog being cousin it?

I was talking with Alice about this and she was like,

well I like the designer, like the hair and the cane and, you know, I mean, it just, and the little hat, you know, it's just sort of like, okay.

But boy, you know, it's always concerning to me when you have to treat a trailer like a buffet.

You know, it's just, well, I like that and I like that, but, right?

It's like... It's interesting how these animated movies feel like they have to have like almost a rapper being part of these animated movies has become its own trope in a way like Tyler the creator was part of Grinch. We had for all obviously a part of the despicable me series

It's kind of interesting in that way that that is kind of a box they have to check off.
