Every who down in Who-ville likes Christmas a lot, but the Grinch who lived just north of Who-ville did NOT! So the cuddly as a cactus Grinch (with termites in his smile and garlic in his soul) tries to wipe out Christmas for the cheerful Who-villains, only to discover: maybe Christmas, he thought doesn't come from as store. Maybe Christmas perhaps means a little bit more! Magnificently narrated by Boris Karloff and animated by cartoon legend Chuck Jones, it's an award-winning Who-roast-beast-feast of a holiday classic!

It Isn't Christmas Without The Grinch
Dr. (Theodore Geisel) Seuss's story of a mean-spirited creature who discovers the real meaning of the holiday was a lovely story to begin with. But director Chuck Jones's contribution made the story truly poignant.
During the war, the two had collaborated on a series of animated shorts for service men featuring Private Snafu. Afterward, Jones returned to directing those wonderful animated shorts from Warner Brothers and Seuss went on to write a score of children's books. Their reunion produced this seamless blend of heartfelt sentiment refracted through the lens of a Looney Tunes sensibility.
Veteran voice actors help to round out the piece, but it's Boris Karloff's brilliant story telling and his voice of the Grinch we remember.

A True Classic
I waited each to see some of my favorite shows as a child, Rudolph, Frosty and of course the Grinch.
I never grew tired of these shows when I was younger and they still entrhall me, and my child, today.
This is a great version of the Grinch in terms of the quality of the video and if you like the show, it is a worthwhile addition so you can see it more than just once a year.

Ahhh, memories...
I absolutely love my copy of How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Horton Hears a Who. I did not notice any color variations or strange sound effects, so I'm guessing some people received a bad copy. However, this version is wonderful! I enjoyed reading Dr. Seuss growing up and this movie brings up happy childhood memories of Christmas! This is a great Christmas story for all ages with a good message behind it!

An insult to the source material
Dr. Seuss' classic holiday story was already adapted for the screen in a beloved animated version by Chuck Jones. This gratingly unfunny retread fails its predecessors in every way. It's just awful.

Very good film
When I was a child, I watched this film for the first time on TV. Now, I'm so glad in having this product on DVD and I watch it once and once again in Christmas time. There are new or modern versions for "The grinch" and also for "Horton" but I prefere these ancient films because they were the first and touched my heart.

Still great after all these years
Some reviews talk about the color of the grinch. In the 50th Birthday Edition (2006) he is green not yellow. I love this film and I have been replacing all my VHS copies with DVDs. It had been several years since I'd seen the grinch. So, I torn open the package and popped it in and laughed like I'd never seen it. I love the remake with Jim Carrey, but nothing beats the original!

Which version of Horton Hears a Who?
I'm looking for the original (60's or 70's) television version of Horton Hears a Who that have the songs and chants like "Boil that dustpeck..."
Is that the version of Horton that is on this?

Grinch Stole Christmas DVD
What can I say, everyone knows it's a classic and the reproduction quality of this remastered edition is worth buying even if you have the original.
