It should just be like a painting or a sculpture. I believe there should be one version of a film, not the special cut or a director’s cut or new or alternative endings and all that stuff. The Addams Family restoration is the first time I’ve ever wanted to add something to a movie. Anyway, Paramount went back into the vault, found the cut workprint, and they found the original negative for it, so we’ve re-installed the full-length sequence that Raul Julia and Christopher Lloyd perform. I said, ‘Hey, listen, if you’re going to do that, then I’d love to participate but is there any way you guys can go back into the vault and see if you can find the missing half of the Mamushka dance sequence?’ Now that I’ve done Schmigadoon! I suddenly love singing and dancing, which I never did before. They also wanted to have a Blu-ray version and a new digital download.

Barry Sonnenfeld: Paramount called me about four or five months ago and said they were going to remaster the movie in 4K because all the streaming services want everything that way.
