"Every Who down in Whoville liked Christmas a lot, but the Grinch, who lived just north of Whoville - did not."

The name Theodor Geisel may not mean much to you, but the name "Dr. Seuss" certainly should. Born Theodor Seuss Geisel, the acclaimed author and illustrator was responsible for more than 60 best-selling books which introduced his young readers to new worlds and creatures. ... read more

This is twenty-five minutes of absolute perfection. A hugely successful artistic marriage between the adapter and source material, How the Grinch Stole Christmas is as much of a mighty, towering classic as the beloved Dr. Seuss book. For me, this is perennial viewing. Christmas is never quite complete without a few viewing experiences every year – A Charlie Brown Christmas, Rudolph the Red-... read more

Bitter and hateful, the Grinch is irritated at the thought of the nearby village having a happy time celebrating Christmas. So disguised as Santa Claus, with his dog made to look like a reindeer, he raids the village to steal all the Christmas things. The village is sure to have a sad Christmas this year.

" For a long time, I used to think that I was the King of Sinful Sots. Then I saw this. And I realized that compared to this guy, I'm just a moldy purple spoton the dead tomato splot that is his heart. You are the true rotter,Mr. Grinch. The mid60's was a good time for Boris Karloff and his effect on the youngr generation. In 1968, as his career was coming to a close, he provided one of his best final roles as that of aging scare-king in a new world of more realistic horror in Targets"

"Un lindo especial navideño adaptado de un cuento infantil que trae un bello mensaje del verdadero significado de la navidad. No es tan maravillosa como muchos dicen, pero sigue siendo mejor que la versión Live-Action con Jim Carrey."
