We hear one use of the letters OMG. When Uncle Fester hands someone a finger, the recipient alludes to an obscene gesture that uses the same sort of digit.
As Uncle Fester slowly turns into an octopus, he has an inking episode or two that the movie suggests is similar to urinating or worse in one s pants.

The Addams Family 2
Granted, the entire Addams family is, shall we say, unconventional. Their butler is a hulking Walking Dead extra. Their chauffer is a disembodied hand. Their household pet is a lion, their houseplant is a monstrous Venus Flytrap named Chuckles. When they serve finger food at parties, it’s likely actual fingers.
Wednesday appreciates all that, of course. Nothing says home like eyeball stew, a family game of Death and some quiet time with a good book—perhaps Poisoning for Fun and Profit. But even at home, Wednesday sometimes doesn’t feel at home. Her father, Gomez, is entirely too loving. Her brother, Pugsley, is entirely too gullible. And could someone as bright as Wednesday be truly related to Uncle Fester? Someone whose idea of self-improvement is changing the sheets a month early?
Gomez and wife Morticia can feel Wednesday growing more distant. And while Morticia encourages patience, patience has never been Gomez’s strong suit. Clearly what Wednesday needs is more forced family time. Lots of forced family time. That’s right: It’s time for an Addams family road trip. They’ll begin in Salem (naturally) and end in Death Valley (naturally) and see every creepy sight in America along the way.
But The Addamses will have company on the road. A scientist named Rupert Strange has sent a couple of his lackeys to fetch Wednesday to him. He says that there was a mixup at the hospital, and the little girl is actually his little girl—not an Addams at all. And, Strange says, it’s high time that Wednesday come home.
The Addams clan won’t give up Wednesday willingly. But if the headstrong daughter decides to leave on her own, can they stop her? After all, little girls who build guillotines in their spare time are not to be trifled with.
Year of the Panda is not only an exciting adventure story, but it also teaches children about the importance of environmental conservation and the need to protect endangered species. The book is filled with vivid descriptions of the Chinese landscape and culture, allowing readers to immerse themselves in the setting. In addition to the captivating story, Year of the Panda includes informative facts about pandas and conservation efforts, encouraging readers to learn more about these fascinating animals and what can be done to help protect them. Overall, Year of the Panda is a wonderful addition to the Magic Treehouse series, combining adventure, education, and a valuable lesson about conservation. It is sure to captivate young readers and inspire them to appreciate and protect the natural world around them..

2. Mark - 3/5 stars - As someone who has read almost every book in the "Magic Treehouse" series, I have to say that "Magic Treehouse YOTP" fell short for me.
