  One of my all-time favorite Christmas films. This is an absolute classic. Like the story it's based on, it's short, sweet, and to the point. Yeah, the scenario is quite typical, with a curmudgeon learning to love instead of hate, but hot damn it is done so well here.… More

Yeah, the scenario is quite typical, with a curmudgeon learning to love instead of hate, but hot damn it is done so well here. Chuck Jones knocks it out of the park with his crisp animation, the art direction, set design, and style are pure, wonderful, Suess, and they got Boris Karloff to narrate and voice the Grinch, and that's just perfect. If you have managed to not see this yet, you really must.

  I'm not gonna lie: some of the names that Dr. Seuss has created for the items, places and activities present in his most famous oeuvre, "How The Grinch Stole Christmas", truly get on my nerves. Still, this classic has proven to endure the test of time and really cement its reputation as one of the best TV specials for the holiday season. Also, consider that nostalgia plays a big part in my love for this charming little gem.

  Christmas Movie Review Mania Episode #13: How the Grinch Stole Christmas Dr. Seuss' story of the cold-hearted green creature who despises Christmas is one of my favorites of all-time. The Grinch is not only a wonderful book but also an entertaining animated TV special. The Grinch is a furry, green creature who lives on a high mountain north of Whoville. It is stated that every Who down in Whoville loved Christmas a lot, but the Grinch did not. On Christmas Eve, the Grinch gets a wonderfully terrible idea: he's going to steal Christmas! With the help of his innocent dog, Max, the Grinch, in a Santa Clause disguise, breaks into the homes of the Whos and steals everything that is Christmas-related in order to stop the holiday from coming. However, the Grinch learns that theres more to Christmas than nice gifts and fancy decorations. The story is very original. Dr. Seuss concieved the characters very well. The Grinch (despite being the villain) is loveable and Max is very enjoyable and funny. The special is mostly narration and the Grinch has a few lines. The narration is very well-written and performed. Whats a Christmas special without songs? The song, "You're a Mean one, Mr. Grinch" is catchy and has some hilarious lyrics. The "Fah-Who-For-Aze" song is very cute. Go ahead and call me an idiot but I prefer the 2000 film adaption with Jim Carrey. I like this one because its very respectful to the source material but I really the Jim Carrey version because it develops elements that were not in the book and animated special. But they are both very enjoyble and must-sees for the holiday season. Anyways, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" is a fun and wonderful Christmas special. "All the noise, noise, NOISE!!!"

  A classic Dr. Seuss story put on film with Karloff providing the voice for the Grinch, what else could you wish for for Christmas? I love this movie, I want to see it again for Christmas! If you haven't seen this movie yet you must be living on Mars. It's so much better than the new one.

  .Number 16 is an amazing little 26 minute film, based on the story written by DR Seuss, which is pretty amazing, what's even more amazing is the Song Your a Mean one Mr. Grinch and also the fact this was narrated by Boris Karloff, Its an animated film, all cartoon, unlike the modern versions, I always thought the song was a modern day song as I have listen to it a 100 times and loved it. How could this not be for children when DR Seuss wrote it, but can only give it 3 Christmas stars.

  The classic tale of how the grinch stole christmas, is a perfect film in every way. An evil soul, taking the soul of the christmas spirit and then finally getting a heart worth living for is a brilliant story. I love , love, love the grinch!

  Fun holiday classic.

• Jason O

  
  One of the best short films of all time. Of all the holiday classic cartoons that can be seen on TV during the Christmas holidays every year, this has always been my favorite. Short and to the point, and can't be beat!

  Christmas GOLD. It's the grinch! A Christmas must-see.

  Necessary holiday viewing. I've never seen the Walter Matthau-narrated version, but as great as Matthau was I don't know if he could top Karloff's narration. The animation is great and doesn't overstay its welcome. Unlike a Ron Howard-directed war crime that stars… More

  You know you cried when his heart swelled and swelled and swelled so much that the big box broke. You know you did.

  This is a good Christmas flick and i don't really see it going out of style anytime soon. They did do a live action version but it doesn't come close to this traditional animated film.

  Classic

  A Christmas cartoon classic with famous scenes and songs. The animation is great Dr. Seuss style. It never drags. I always felt sorry for Max the dog. Cindy Lou Who is the cutest little thing.
