Synopsis

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!

Review

While Looney Tunes was in decline, it seemed that Chuck Jones was falling to the wayside as well. Churning out weak Road Runner and Tom & Jerry shorts with remarkably little zip, it seemed that Jones was in a rut. That all changed with his Oscar-winning short The Dot and the Line, where he allowed his imagination to run wild. By 1966, inspired by Dr. Seuss' whimsical drawings and rhymes, he had created his second masterpiece in as many years. Jones' and Seuss' styles meshed perfectly, and even after Ron Howard's dreadful live-action version, it's hard to imagine this story being told any other way. Boris Karloff is charismatically dour as the voice of The Grinch, and Albert Hague adds delightfully nonsensical songs. It's enough to make your heart grow three sizes in one day.
