Accept no substitutes. The 1966 television adaptation of Dr. Seuss' timeless book How the Grinch Stole Christmas!--about an anti-Santa who tries to heist the holiday only to learn a powerful lesson--is a classic in its own right, and looking better than ever in its 50th Birthday Deluxe Edition. (For those doing the math, the 50 years is counting from the book's 1957 publishing date rather than the show's broadcast date.) The most significant improvement is in the digital transfer, cleaning up fuzz and specks and restoring the proper colors to the program. While the awful earlier DVDs showed the Grinch in a mustard-yellow color, this edition restores his proper green gleam. Special features are mostly ported over from the previous DVD--the Horton Hears a Who program, a featurette on the songs, Phil Hartman's special edition version, pencil tests, etc. minus the commentary track--but there is a new 15-minute featurette, "Dr. Seuss and the Grinch: From Whoville to Hollywood." While it starts out as a fluff piece aimed at the younger set (interviews with kids, some rapping), it does provide some interesting information, including interviews with the widows of Theodore Geisel and Chuck Jones and clips of Geisel and Jones' Private Snafu. (No mention of Jim Carrey, however.) --David Horiuchi

Description

Every who down in Who-ville likes Christmas a lot, but the Grinch who lived just north of Who-ville did NOT! So the cuddly as a cactus Grinch (with termites in his smile and garlic in his soul) tries to wipe out Christmas for the cheerful Who-villains, only to discover: maybe Christmas, he thought doesn't come from as store. Maybe Christmas perhaps means a little bit more! Magnificently narrated by Boris Karloff and animated by cartoon legend Chuck Jones, it's an award-winning Who-roast-beast-feast of a holiday classic!

Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!.......2007-05-13

Love it! Who doesn't love Dr. Seuss and the Who's in Whoville. Great family movie with no advertisements. A must have for any home with or without kids. I have watched it by myself on occasion. I am a BIG Dr. Seuss fan. Check out the great selection of Dr. Seuss books on Amazon our family owns many titles. They great for reading to k-6th graders at school or home.

HIS MEANNESS IN GLORIOUS GREENESS.......2007-05-06

Wow! I just watched this newest edition of the Grinch, and what a difference! The COLORS are FABULOUS! He never looked better! The remastering is, well, masterful; and I never saw this wonderful Christmas feature so beautifully represented.
All the hundreds of times I watched this before have been in B&W by comparison!
"You're a Mean One-Mr Grinch! You have Termites in your Soul!"
Sung by the inimitable Thurl Ravenscroft (what a great name!) who also voiced one of the Ghosts on the Haunted Mansion ride, ( a Singing Bust in the Graveyard) lends a thrilling richness to the feature, as great as the voice of Boris Karloff as the Grinch himself.
An extra feature on this disc is the Making of...including interviews with Mrs Theodore Geisel, AKA Mrs Seuss, and Chuck Jones, who worked closely with his old friend Dr Seuss, at first reluctant to animate his story, but who thawed after seeing the drawings and hearing the great songs, esp the one on Christmas Morning.
Horton hears a Who is included, and this is just wonderful...so sweet.
One day Dr Seuss was sitting at his desk littered with sketches when a breeze wafted in and blew a drawing of an elephant onto a drawing of a tree, which set Seuss to thinking: "What is that elephant doing up in that tree?" which led to Horton Hatches the Egg.
Seuss's wonderful surrealist POV is the child's version of Dali, and another favorite Seuss work of mine is the sets he created for "The 10,000 Fingers of Dr T."
This set also includes Phil Hartman's Grinch special and pencil tests.
But the real star here is the incredible colors and how magnificent the Grinch looks in his splendid coat of bright Green. You've never seen this great feature so beautifully done until you get this version! The packaging is wonderful with sparkles all over the jacket.

Dr. Seuss's Original..........2007-04-22

The 1966 cartoon version of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" has rightly become a Christmas season classic. Its simple but evocative storyline is brought to life by the pairing of animator Chuck Jones with original artist Theodor Geisel. Boris Karloff's absolutely superb narration is the thing of genius that makes the whole movie work.

The story is familar to anyone who has been young in the last forty years: The Grinch, a Christmas-hater, lives near Whoville, populated by Whos, a cheery bunch who celebrate Christmas with abandon. The Grinch has the stoke of awful inspiration one Christams Eve to sneak into Whoville and steal all the holiday paraphanalia, and stop Christmas from coming. Disguised as Santa Claus, the Grinch makes away with all the presents, decorations, and food, only to discover that he has missed the point about Christmas altogether. His moment of relevation may be the highlight of the whole movie.

This movie is highly recommended as a Christmas Classic suitable for all ages.

Still the Best!.......2007-04-17

As a child of 4 or 5 years old, watching this, I have to say that Boris Karloff's rendering of the Grinch gave me literal nightmares. But then I always loved a movie that could enter my slumber, so even the nightmares of my childhood were a welcome adrenaline rush.

I realize this is a movie you're probably only supposed to watch at Christmas time, but honestly I can watch it in the middle of July and enjoy it just as much as if I I were watching it on Christmas Morning!

When I was a kid, it was about the lesson learned by the Grinch. He learned to let people in, to love and to be loved. He learned the true meaning of being a cheerful giver.

As a grown-up, it's about being able to harken back to a simpler time. About re-living those moments I so enjoyed in my youth. The Grinch is more than a holiday classic. It's a journey into one of the most enjoyable aspects of a person's past.

It's beautifully drawn... as I already said, the voices are positively mesmerizing. The message/moral/theme is very positive and clear. Tell me what's NOT to like about this movie?

Great flick.......2007-03-17

My 4 year old son loves the Grinch. We bought this because the tape was worn out. It is nice and clear and is the original we all remember. And even though we didnt think we were getting "Horton Hears a Who" it was included on the disc.

Under a thick carpet of green-dyed yak fur and wonderfully expressive Rick Baker makeup, Jim Carrey is up to all of his old tricks (and some nifty new ones) in this live-action movie of Dr. Seuss's holiday classic. He commands the title role with equal parts madness, mayhem, pathos, and improvisational genius, channeling Grinchness through his own screen persona so smoothly that fans of both Carrey and Dr. Seuss will be thoroughly satisfied. Adding to the fun is a perfectly pitched back-story sequence (accompanied by Anthony Hopkins's narration) that explains how the Grinch came to hate Christmas, with a heart "two sizes too small." Ron Howard proves a fine choice for the director's chair with a keen balance of comedy, sentiment, and light-hearted Seussian whimsy. Production designer Michael Corenblith gloriously realizes the wackiness of Whoville architecture, and his rendition of the Grinch's Mt. Crumpit lair is a marvel of cartoonish, subterranean grime. Then there's Cindy Lou Who (Taylor Momsen), the thoughtful imp who rallies her village to recapture the pure spirit of Christmas and melts the gift-stealing Grinch's cold, cold heart. You've even got a dog (the Grinch's good-natured mongrel, Max) who's been perfectly cast, so what's not to like about this dazzling yuletide movie? The production gets a bit overwhelmed by its own ambition, and the citizens of Whoville (including Jeffrey Tambor, Christine Baranski, Molly Shannon, and Bill Irwin) pale in comparison to Carrey's inspired lunacy, but who cares? If a movie can unleash Jim Carrey at his finest, revamp the Grinch story, and still pay tribute to the legacy of Dr. Seuss, you can bet it qualifies as rousing entertainment. (Ages 5 and older.) --Jeff Shannon

Who doesn't love this version? I'm not a big Jim Carrey fan, but this is a Christmas must-see for our family every year.

So Stupid, It's Funny.......2007-02-22

I love this movie! It is so incredibly stupid and funny. It is absolutely ridiculous and slightly crass. The grinch and the whos look like a bunch of clowns. The film was predictable and completely ripped off from the animated TV special. This isn't as stupid as Barney, because at least the makers of this film actually tried to be funny, rather than just childish and retarded. This film has gotten a lot of mixed reviews on amazon.com, so be sure to rent it before you buy it.

The Grinch with Jim Carey.......2007-01-18

I LOVE IT! It is one of the best Christmas movies out there. I watched it 3 times, this past Christmas, and could have watched it again. It is hilarious!!!

I totally enjoyed the remake of the "The Grinch stole Christmas". It was alot of fun and the special effects were remarkable. I am not a Jim Carrey fan, but this one is absolutely fantastic!! It is alot different than the orginal cartoon story, and if I might say, it is alot better. A must see for holiday fun!!!!

How the Grinch Stole Christmas
To heck with the kids--this is one of the best holiday presents you can give yourself. Adapted from the children's book by Dr. Seuss, this charming story is one to watch every holiday season. It is just edgy enough to help you forget the more cloying aspects of Christmas, yet it is also sweet enough to remind you of the reason for all that holiday cheer. Animation genius Chuck Jones directed this 1966 television production featuring the voice of Boris Karloff as the mean greenie. Bitter and selfish, the Grinch decides to steal Christmas away from the Whos, the sweet little folk who live at the bottom of his mountain home. When little Cindy Loo Who returns his hateful act with kindness, she melts the old miser's heart. There are many reasons to watch this: inventive wordplay, Karloff's impressive narration, and a very memorable soundtrack. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Horton Hears a Who!
Chuck Jones was chief animator on this lively adaptation of the famous book by Dr. Seuss. The story of a friendly elephant named Horton who discovers--deep inside a daisy--a tiny city called Whoville with tiny, intelligent residents--this film (fleshed out a bit from the source) is strong on character and has striking, appealing visuals. The little folks of Whoville, with their natural air of aristocracy, are a kick, and when they come to see Horton as a hero for his democratic view of all life big and small, the effect is quite touching. This should be a real treat for kids already familiar with the book, and just might inspire those who haven't read it to pick it up. --Tom Keogh

Product Description

With the talents of Chuck Jones, Boris Karloff, and Dr. Seuss combined, there was almost no way this could be anything but an instant classic. Watched regularly every holiday season and beloved by children and cynical adults alike, this animated gem is ju

UNIMPRESSIVE !! - LACKING EXTRAS.......2006-11-23

Let me start with the good or at least the acceptable. The picture and sound quality are what you've come to expect from a mid-level HD-DVD catalog title. Picture quality isn't "stunning" like some other releases, but it is obviously a hi-def dvd. The sound quality is average. The DTS soundtrack is only available on the regular dvd side. The bad comes when you expect to see the same extras that were included in the original "collector's edition". Gone are the bloopers, deleted scenes, videos & documentaries, in fact the only real extra is a directors commentary with Ron Howard. In a word PATHETIC !! Universal seems to be trying to become the new FOX, expensive products with no value added features, my advice.....save up for the double dip.

Fab for my three year old!.......2007-01-18

My little guy received this for Christmas and just adores it. He already had memorized 80% of the book so when he saw it on TV in motion, he was extatic! What one views on the screen is *exactly* like what's in this book, so while my son watches it, he has the book in his lap and follows along. Also, for those with super-young kiddos, this cartoon version is perfect because the grinch isn't scary looking at all. I've seen one other cartoon version of this story where he looked a bit too odd even for me! :) Also, for adults, this is a nice blast-from-the-past as well! :) All in all, this was a great purchase!

NOT the Cartoon!.......2006-11-25

What a scam! I think they HAD to know the the overwhelming majority of people would pick this DVD up in the store, and think it was the original animated Grinch. Why in the world would I want to buy a DVD of someone reading a book?

wish I had seen these comments before I purchased.......2006-01-07

I agree with all the folks here saying what a drag this product is. I bought it on the fly in a brick-and-mortar store to put inside my son's Christmas stocking. I was expecting the children's classic animated short movie, but was most chagrined to find our family watching a screen scan the pages of the book with an actor reading the lines. Why would I want this when I can read the book to him myself in person? I must say this product embodies false advertising - with the result being quite the Christmas spoiler. What a lame gift - here we were expecting to share a great, fun part of our own childhood holidays and instead got a 30-minute video reading of the book. I wish I could return it, but can't since it is already opened and viewed! This is the tale of "How SONY (the manufacturer) Stole Christmas"!

Don't waste your money!!.......2003-12-22

As the other reviews have stated, this is not the version you want. It is photographs of the storybook, not the animated characters you remember. There is no way to tell until you open it and watch it. It is terrible.

A Cartoon brought to life. Funny & Entertaining !.......2006-12-19

The reason I am writing this review is that I can't believe all the bad reviews it got, and had to put in my 2 cents!

I have never saw a cartoon/Book brought so wonderfully to life, as this one that Ron Howard directed.

I guess the Grinch IS obnoxious, but wasn't he in the book, too? And for the make up on the Who's go, They came pretty darn close to how the Who's looked in the cartoon.(Little noses, way off the wall hair do's, funny clothing, big feet.Also, Max the Grinch's dog is just TOO TOO cute :)
They also did a good job on the Grinch's appearance.

The thing I love most though, is the way they did the town, with all the shops, post office, etc. MILLIONS of dollars went into this, and such DETAIL on EVERYTHING!!!
It is just wonderful to watch! The DVD has TONS of extras on it too.Games, songs, etc, for the TV AND PC.

The movie is a couple hours long, but what movie isn't ? Actually, it is one hour and forty five minutes long.
Like I said , the movie is wonderful, the sets and the actors (especially Jim Carrey) are flawless, and I give it an overall thumbs UP !!!!!
It is great for kids and adults alike.

Crass and Obnoxious.......2006-12-03

I have a very high tolerance for sitting all the way through bad movies. For whatever reason, a movie has to be finished. I think I can recall turning off one other movie in my life. This is the second. A few funny moments wriggle out of Jimm Carey as The Grinch, but this film otherwise attempts to truly steal your Christmas. If you thought the Who were cute or fun in the book or cartoon - they are ugly and mindless here. Everything - everything - is SCREAMING to keep your attention. And if you thought Christmas was about family, and kids - like the Who, and the original story were - crassness, and adult themes rule the land that Ron Howard and Jim Carrey have created. Can't stress this enough - if you are trying to plan a fun evening for the fam, pass on this film.

WTF is this?.......2006-09-03

I don't give a _____ what you say, Dr. Suess for the most part, rules. But wow, what they did to this?

I'll tell you. This is what they did:
One day, a bunch of cigar-smoking losers decided to make a piece of gold a piece of ____. They called this How the Grinch Stole CHistmas.

The end

Of course,t here's more, but that's the gist. Watch the cartoon, the cartoon for the Grinch is great. THis one sucks.

A fun christmas film but it's why to long.......2005-12-12

I found this film enjoyable and fun to watch every christmas but it's not the greatest film. I found the film to long it draged on and on and the film is noisey and bussy. The make-up is really good. The acting is really good espesailly Jim Carrey. Overall it's a good film.

Classic Christmas Movie.......2005-11-19

I saw this when it came out, and it was more than what i had expected of it. It was great to see the book come to life, in all the colours of christmas

Jim Carrey's Grinch.......2007-06-27

Who doesn't love this version? I'm not a big Jim Carrey fan, but this is a Christmas must-see for our family every year.

The Grinch with Jim Carey.......2007-01-18

I LOVE IT! It is one of the best Christmas movies out there. I watched it 3 times, this past Christmas, and could have watched it again. It is hilarious!!!

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!.......2007-01-08

It never gets old! The deleted scenes are great. This is a fun movie for the whole family. We watch it every year, usually twice! Even if you aren't a Jim Carrey fan, you will be in this one.

Great holiday fun.......2006-12-26
