Amid pre-production on the 1991 film, Tim Burton was assigned to direct but ended up passing on it due to scheduling conflicts with Batman Returns, resulting in Barry Sonnenfeld taking the job. In March 2010, it was announced that Illumination Entertainment, in partnership with Universal Pictures, had acquired the underlying rights to the Addams Family drawings.
The film was planned to be a stop-motion animated film based on Charles Addams’ original drawings. Burton was set to co-write and co-produce the film, with a possibility to direct. In July 2013, it was reported that the film was cancelled.
In October 2020, Wednesday was initially announced as an unnamed Addams Family project being helmed by Burton.
