Trivia: Eddie Murphy had a big problem while working on this movie: He is very squeamish about most animals. It is even so serious that he flatly refused to do a scene involving an alligator. Hence, most shots with animals were done via blue-screen technique.
Trivia: Though this film is oft-cited as a "sequel" to the 1991 and 1993 "Addams Family" movies, it is actually a "reboot" that was produced and distributed by a completely different studio, and was actually created to serve as a "backdoor pilot" for the subsequent television series "The New Addams Family."

Trivia: Due to problems with financing this film took 7 years to make.
