How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
December 18, 1966Bitter and hateful, the Grinch is irritated at the thought of a nearby village having a happy time celebrating Christmas. Disguised as Santa Claus, with his dog made to look like a reindeer, he decides to raid the village to steal all the Christmas things.
This is considered the “original” Grinch movie, with the genius animation of Chuck Jones and the legendary voices of Boris Karloff, June Foray, and Thurl Ravenscroft.
Here are 5 reasons why the 1966 version of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” remains a cherished classic compared to The Grinch (2018) and Jim Carrey's Grinch from 2000:
-
Historical Charm: As the original adaptation of Dr. Seuss’s story, it carries a nostalgic value and a simplicity that has endeared it to multiple generations.
-
Iconic Voice Work: Boris Karloff, famous for his role as Frankenstein’s monster, lends his voice to both the Grinch and the narrator, infusing the film with a unique blend of warmth and malice.
-
Timeless Animation: The animation, directed by Chuck Jones, a legend in the world of cartoons, captures the distinctive Seussian world with its original illustrations brought to life, maintaining the book’s visual appeal.
-
Musical Legacy: The soundtrack, especially the song “You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch,” has become iconic, instantly recognizable and often associated with the holiday season.
-
Faithful Adaptation: It remains one of the most faithful adaptations of Dr. Seuss’s work, preserving the book’s message about the true spirit of Christmas without the need for modern embellishments or updates.
Watching the 1966 version of “The Grinch” is like stepping into a time capsule that brings viewers back to the simple joy and heartwarming message that Dr. Seuss intended, making it a must-watch, especially during the holiday season.
