Seeing Wednesday endure her time at the nauseatingly goody-goody summer camp is a treat not to be missed. Anjelica Huston and Raul Julia are again utter perfection as Morticia and Gomez, adding another layer to their marvelous characterizations as the now doting parents of the mustached infant Pubert. Christopher Lloyd does a good job with the romantically inept Fester, but it is Joan Cusack who really steals the movie with one of her best comic portrayals. Cusack can do a comic 360 with the character, going from sane to insane, without batting an eye. Colors are well reproduced, without any evidence of chroma noise or bleeding.
Blacks are true black and the image maintains smooth contrast under various lighting conditions.
Digital compression artifacts are well concealed throughout. The Dolby Digital 5.1 channel soundtrack has a very good mix that envelops the viewer in the insane little world of the movie. Sound effects zip around the entire soundstage, including the split surrounds, although most of activity seems to be localized up front. Dialogue reproduction is crisp and never buried under any of the other sonic elements. Marc Shaiman delivers another engaging score that is well integrated into the mix.
