Plot: Chuck Jones' animated version of the classic Dr. Seuss book {-How the Grinch Stole Christmas} originally aired on television in 1966 and has since become a holiday family favorite. Voiced by Boris Karloff (who also narrates), the Grinch lives on top of a hill overlooking Whoville with his dog, Max. Each year at Christmas time, the Grinch's hatred grows stronger toward those insufferably cheerful Whos down in Whoville. Content to exchange presents, eat large banquets, and sing songs in the town square, the Whos live in a blissful ignorance of the Grinch's contempt. One year, he gets the idea to stop Christmas from coming by dressing up as Santa Claus. He cobbles together an outfit and makes his dog drag him around on a sleigh while sneaking into the Whos' homes and stealing their presents, food, and decorations. After he has stolen every last thing, the Whos wake up on Christmas morning to sing in the town square, causing the Grinch to question the basis of his nefarious plan. Thurl Ravenscroft (the voice of kid cereal mascot Tony the Tiger) provides the vocals for the song You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch. This story was remade into a live-action movie in 2000 by director Ron Howard starring Jim Carrey as the Grinch. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Overpriced
Added 9/17/2009

This is a beloved classic, practically ruined by Hollywood in the live-action remake by Ron Howard. But a 26 minute Blu-Ray for $20+ bucks? The Grich may have stolen Christmas, but Warner is attempting to steal our hard earned cash. Wait for this one to go in the bargain bin by Christmas '09, then snatch it up for a better price.

I watched this movie since first grade. I still do. I watch this movie when Christmas is coming up. This movie is still funny and is enjoyable for the young and old.

This a funny cartoon!
Added 6/29/2002

Boris Karloff has made a good grinch and June Foray makes a good Cindy Lou, so I give this ***** (5 out of 5) also known as 5 stars.

Quality good, color bad/
Added 7/30/2009

The video quality of both movies is good. As good as originally broadcast, which was very flat looking compared to today's work. However, the Grinch is the wrong color, dingy yellow, not green. This probably won't affect children seeing it for the first time, but it kind of ruins it for nostalgic watchers.

A Great Christmas Tale
Added 7/24/2009

The story about Whoville and the Grinch is a wonderful Christmas Tale. Everyone else has talked about the songs, Max and, of course, Cindy Lou Who. However, the story is also one of true Christmas sentiments. There is redemption, changing of the Grinch's heart, and the indomitable spirit of all of the Who's and their recognition that even without the Roast Beast and the toys, Christmas is still Christmas. What a clear and gentle message. (And how much fun, too!)
