Synopsis

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, Rovi

Posted by: from Arkansas on 12/08/2009Originals are tried and true. This classic film still stands through the tests of time as a Christmas season favorite. One of my favorite movies as a kid, especially around Christmas, was How The Grinch Stole Christmas. Even though I didn't realize how SHORT this film was, I always looked forward to it coming on TV, and now I can watch it anytime that I want. My toddler daughter has already seen it a couple of times and she refers to him as 'Mean Guy'. lol If you don't own this film, buy it. If nothing else, its good for the soul by helping us remember the point of Christmas.
