Summary: Timeless Classic
Review: I have watched this cartoon for years around Christmas, and ever since seeing the theatrical movie, I've become a hardcore fan of everything "Grinch." I love the movie, but it is WRONG to appreciate it without having appreciated this masterpiece first. Chuck Jones is a superb director/animator and it will be a great loss to the animation community when he passes on. His animation talents are amazing because, although he uses what is known as "limited animation" (animation on a lower budget with less "squash and stretch") he makes one forget that it it is limited, because of the superb subtle movements and facial expressions. Plus, any Dr. Seuss story is classical and nothing short of genius.

Summary: Should be in every DVD collection!
Review: This is a great film, and should be enjoyed every Christmas! Everyone knows the story of the Grinch. Well if you don't here's a brief introduction to the story: The mean old Mr. Grinch hates Christmas, and has his wee heart set on taking it away from the Who's down in Whoville! He takes their tree's, and their gifts. Of course the Who's are sad, but the know that Christmas isn't just about the gifts or the tree but being together! The Grinch realizes he was wrong and well, you'll have to see the rest! The DVD has some good features but could have had more. The commentary seemed a little odd, because it seemed Foray had just seen it for the first time and wasn't very knowledgeable about Grinch but it was still enjoyable! The price is right, and you'll enjoy every minute!

Summary: The Grinch is Yellow in this Release!
Review: I love the Grinch. The cartoon itself rates an unqualified 5 stars. I've watched it every year since it first came out. That is why, when I noticed this "digitally enhanced" version, I rushed to buy it. I am, however, very unhappy with this release and have rated the release only 1 star. The Grinch is mustard yellow not green and numerous and intrusive sound effects have been added to "enhance" what does not need enhancing. Furthermore, when Karloff is speaking the Grinch's lines, he sound far away. I am writing to Warner to tell them how disappointed I am. Let the buyer beware this one!

Summary: This one is the real deal not an overly commercial Carey Fli
Review: This is the real deal for any who in whoville who cares about the original Geisel's (Dr. Seuss) work. This film is one of those that your children can watch over and over and it doesn't drive you nuts like the Barney videos! A couple years ago I would say buy this movie just to contribute to Geisel's estate since he has done so much good work but with the new Grinch flick out there I guess they hardly need the money. Anyhow buy this DVD or VHS and watch it over and over and enjoy the classic. Next thing you know they will remake "It's a wonderful life"

Summary: Great Christmas Classic -- Better Each Year
Review: This short (26 minutes) animated film from 1966 has to be one of the great Christmas movies, telling a tale of the meaning of Christmas in a unique way. It is a close adaptation of the Dr. Seuss book with great animation from Chuck Jones (of Warner Brothers fame) and a superb narration/Grinch voice by Boris Karloff. It is a film that kids and adults will like and watch over and over again. A definite buy and trasure. An extra treat on the DVD is "Horton Hears a Who," another classic that kids will love all year round.

Summary: A Christmas Classic and an additional Great Cartoon
Review: HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS is a great Christmas cartoon with a wonderful narration by Boris Karloff and wonderful realization from a equally good Dr. Seuss book. "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" is a wonderfully catchy(though not too catchy)song and the other Christmas song(don't know the name.. Damu Doru??)is a song that fits in just perfectly. HORTON HEARS A WHO, the second cartoon feature in this video is a delight too with a "catchy" moral and oddly scary villains. It has very catchy songs(Highlight: The song the birds sing when spreading the news of Horton and the dustspeck) and an interesting plot. The narration is good a Horton is a wonderful character.

Summary: THIS IS THE ONE AND ONLY
Review: Forget the hideously overblown film version -- if you want the real thing, buy this double treat and enjoy the Grinch's story the way it was intended to be seen. Boris Karloff's voice lends this wonderfully inspiring story a hint of real menace, and the animation, spare and imaginative, creates an oddly familiar world that is both melancholy and Christmasey -- the perfect combo. The songs have become holiday traditions. The story of the Grinch is as much a mystery of faith and joy as it is an entertaining comedy. You will get the additional family treat of Horton Hears A Who, also an inspiring tale that explores the value of life itself. Dr. Seuss' brilliance with conceptual family entertainment is on clear display in both of these classic stories; you will not be disappointed. Merry Christmas.

Summary: It's A Cinch- Pick The Grinch
Review: You can keep your Frosty the Snowman, Rudoplh the Red Nosed Reindeer, Muppet Christmas, and all the rest. Just let me have my Grinch. Quite simply, this is the best movie that money can buy- a wonderful gift (hint hint- you never can have too many Grinch videos). Any self-respecting American family should own this movie. After all, who can resist this tale of selfishness conquered by love? Not me, that's for sure. PS- I refuse to see the new Jim Carrey verson; nothing can top this Dr. Seuss masterpiece. Not even Hollywood.

Summary: "The Grinch found the straingth of ten Grinches--plus two!"
Review: "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" is a timeless tale of tolerance, discised as a fantasy. It's the perfect way to put your Little Cindy Lou Who to bed on Christmas Eve, or any night of the year. "Hurton Hears A Who" is another delightful story, which will be especially popular with animal lovers. The animated adaptations of these two stories are a "hatful" of fun! Here's more on each of the shorts, because a person is a person is a person is a person no matter how small, and you deserve some good protect information. "HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS" is the story of the rotten-hearted Grinch, who, well, tries to steal Christmas! But he learns his lesson eventually, as everyone does--it's not about THINGS. It's about holiday spirit and being together. The anamation is as lighthearted as the pictures in the Dr. Suess picturebook, and the words are almost the same as the ones in the book. This one is sure to please, and will make a nifty stocking stuffer. But it's be even niftier when paired with.... "HURTON HEARS A WHO" is a very cute adaptation of another Suess offering, taking place in two completly different worlds about to collide. Hurton the Elephent finds a tiny part of a flower, which contains a whole different world. Hurton makes contact with a scientist in this second world, and learns how different the worlds are. But because a person is a person no matter how small, Hurton decides to help his newfound friend. The one major problem here is that NO ONE BELIEVES EITHER HURTON OR HIS FRIEND. What will happen next???? This one will keep kids in suspense, but I like the former of the cartoons better. To end--The Grinch is a mean one, and your kids will think YOU'RE mean if you don't stuff their stocking with this. It's collectively a perfect video, and kids will be excited to hear that the soundtracks to both films appear unabriged on a single CD. A very special video release sure to satisfy the ones who aren't getting a lump of coal this year....
