Summary: A grinch of a different (and wrong) color
Review: My awful rating of this DVD is stricly intended to be that of the physical quality of this video transfer. The Grinch himself is worthy of five, six, a galaxy of stars!

But I must echo the comments of those viewers who have complained of the awful colors and hues of the DVD transfer. The Grinch is supposed to be GREEN not a dirty yellow. The colors are just fine on my old laserdisc version which I had hoped to replace with this new edition. No such luck. I'm hanging on to my laserdisc till my player gives out and I dumped this abomination on ebay as fast as I could. I did feel a little guilty about sticking someone else with this turkey, but as some of the other reviews indicate, some people just can't tell the real deal from a shoddy copy. Well, if Whoville hadn't been filled with people like that, the Grinch would never have brought off his coup!

My advice is, wait a while and hope that a new "remastered" version will be brought out eventually, so the publisher can have a facesaving way to correct their error.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's not just a movie for children...
Review: Being an adult, or atleast a person who attempted to be one from 8 to 5 each day, How the Grinch Stole christmas has always been one of my favourite animated movies. Dr Seuss was simply a master of rhyme, and the animation of this story...priceless. The grinch, the poor little dog with the antlers affixed to his little head, and all the who's down in whoville make this a movie to be enjoyed by children of all ages :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Color Controversy
Review: In regards to the color variations mentioned here, the Grinch was never green! The packaging design showing him a rich "green" is obviously misleading some to believe he's actually that color of green. Think about it; does one really recall remembering the Grinch being as green as Kermit the Frog? The DVD is just fine.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: No color problem
Review: I compared a VHS version and DVD version to check the Grinch's "color problem" discribed by some reviewers of this DVD. True, the Grinch is not bright green on the DVD, but I don't think he is supposed to be. I did not see any difference between the VHS and DVD versions of his color, and did not think his color looked wrong at all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a true classic!
Review: The Grinch is a great story for everyone - young ones to the young at heart! Our family loves watching is every year - Boris Karloff makes it a true treat! They have captured the essence of the book and then some!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Learn how to calibrate your TVs, people!
Review: There's nothing wrong with the video on this DVD. The colors are as good as the original materials can get. If you're seeing the wrong colors, maybe you should try calibrating your TV correctly. DVD brings out the best AND worst in your equipment. Don't blame the software if your hardware can't isn't properly setup!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Mixed feelings about this one...
Review: As much as I love the Grinch and Horton, this DVD had problems. The Grinch is a mustardy-yellow color, Horton is a mess! Thankfully, I got this one cheap, but there really isn't much to this package. I'm glad to have the Grinch, but I wonder if I'll be buying another, better copy down the line...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Review: A truly wonderful classic! I purchased and watched the DVD version just last week. My entire family enjoyed watching it and I am sure it will get plenty of play.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It isn't Christmas
Review: ... until you have seen How The Grinch Stole Christmas.

The transformation of the grinch is truly a Christmas miracle! 10 stars!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The colors would make anyone a Grinch!
Review: I have always loved this classic Dr. Seuss animated film and awaited its arrival with great anticipation. And while the story is as endearing as ever, I am disappointed that the coloring on this transfer is terrible. The backgrounds are garish and too bright and the Grinch is the color of mustard instead of his true green color shown on the front of the case. In addition, the pencil tests are far too few and do not add any value to the disc. It is hard to focus on the splendid attributes of this title because of its few, yet glaring oversights. My advice is to wait for a better transfer to come out, or perhaps seek out the previous version on dvd which may be of better quality.
