OK, this is one of the best films out there. A 22 minute TV special directed by Chuck Jones for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Jones worked at MGM after being fired by WB in 1963. He worked at MGM to produce 34 Tom and Jerry shorts, The Dot and the Line, 2 Dr. Seuss specials and a ton of other stuff. When the MGM cartoon studio shut down in 1967, he had to find work and joined DePatie-Freleng for a while. He helped Friz Freleng in his Dr. Seuss specials.Anyways, the Grinch, with a size two hearts, too small, tries to ruin Christmas for the town of Whoville. He gets his dog and they go down the mountain. At night, he reaches the first house, but a girl sees him, so he lies and escorts her to bed. He then steals a bunch of stuff. In the morning, he goes up the mountain but he realizes that all this stuff would fall down. His heart then grows and brings the stuff back to the people of Whoville. They have dinner as the movie ends.A timeless classic. This comes around CN and Boomerang over the Christmas holidays as Turner acquired copyrights to the film in 1986.10/10

I have seen this special when I was a kid as well as reading the book, and watching the live action movie version with Jim Carrey. "Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas" is only twenty five minutes long, and it is about our main character who hates Christmas and wants it to put in end for coming as he steals it. I love this special so much, and it really is my second favorite Christmas special; it is almost up there with my number one favorite Christmas special "A Charlie Brown Christmas" because they both share the same message on what Christmas is really all about. In this special, it is very much told in a simpler way as "A Charlie Brown Christmas" it goes into much detail about it as it is told from the Gospel of Luke. With that said, I thought the animation in this special is still looking wonderful as I remember it to be when I was growing up watching it; it is wonderful to look at for its style along with its rich colors, and all the details that the animators put a lot of effort into it. I also do love the songs, which they are very memorable as you either singing or listening to it; my favorite song in this special is without a doubt "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch." I don't know why but I do know that it is so memorable, and I can sing this song anytime as long as I remember this special. Boris Karloff who was famous for playing the Frankenstein monster is also famous for playing the Grinch. He really fits that role perfectly, and does a fine job on the narration. Also, I do like to give huge props to Chuck Jones for directing this special for not only to make fun and entertaining, but to be very loyal to the book's original material as well as keeping the spirit from the works of Dr. Seuss. "Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas" is one of the greatest Christmas animated specials ever made, and I personally gives this a perfect 10 out of 10.

Meet Mr. Grinch - He's the meanest (and the greenest) meanie of them all!What would this happy "Holiday Season" be without at least one viewing of this thoroughly delightful, animated, feature film from 1966? Based on Dr. Seuss' beloved book, and featuring the voice of Boris Karloff, this absolutely endearing picture has been bringing joy to delighted viewers for over 45 years now.The fun all begins when the mean, old Grinch plots to ruin Christmas for the Whos down in Whoville by stealing all of their holiday treats from them.Without a doubt, How the Grinch Stole Christmas is a true classic that can easily be appreciated by the young and old, alike.

Why they had to go and make a live action film of this cartoon I'll never understand. I first saw this cartoon as a little kid when I got it on VHS a few days before Christmas, and now I watch it every Christmas. It's a little dopey and sappy at times but as far as Christmas stuff goes, The Grinch is pretty funny.This animation tells the story of the fictional Whoville, where human-like creatures called Whos live and cheerfully celebrate Christmas every year. Meanwhile up on a mountain away from the village, the Grinch (voiced by Boris Karloff), is dreading the holidays until he hatches a diabolical plan to wreck the season for everyone, with the help of his little pet dog. He sews a Santa suit and attempts to "steal" Christmas, by sneaking around like a cat burglar and stealing all Christmas paraphernalia from the Whos. It isn't until he realizes that material items aren't important to them that he realizes what he's done fully.The animation was great, Boris Karloff was an excellent voice actor and the soundtrack, albeit gibberish for the most part and very bizarre, wasn't bad. For a kid's cartoon this is a great animation to watch during the holidays.
