60 minute feature film DVD. Animated. The animation talent of Chuck Jones combined with the delightful prose of the great Dr. Seuss results in a Christmas cartoon classic that will make even the most resolute cynic warm to its sneaky holiday message. Horror icon Boris Karloff supplies the voice of the Grinch, who plans on spitefully ruining Christmas for the town of Whoville by stealing all the presents. It's great, mischievous fun plotting along with this diabolical humbug, and ultimately moving as he warms to the spirit of Christmas. With the talents of Chuck Jones, Boris Karloff, and Dr. Seuss combined, there was almost no way this could be anything but an instant classic. Watched regularly every holiday season and beloved by children and cynical adults alike, this animated gem is just that and more. Boris Karloff narrates and stars as the odious Mr. Grinch, the sinister green monster who plots to steal all the Christmas presents in the town of Whoville. All goes well with his dastardly plan until little Cindy Loo Who (who was no more than two) gums up the works with her innocent Christmas spirit. Jones directed, with Karloff supplying the sweetly sinister narration and voice of the Grinch. The story is from the book by Dr. Seuss. Thurl Ravenscroft (of "Tony the Tiger" breakfast commercial fame) provides the memorable bass singing voice for the tune "You're a Mean One, Mister Grinch." Filled with close attention to comic detail, memorable characterizations, and delightful wordplay, this is essential holiday viewing for the whole family. Television premiere: December 23, 1966.

Classic Tradition
In my honest opinion, you can never go wrong with a classic; not to mention the fact that this is a Dr. Seuss classic. I've loved this movie since I was a child. Every year, my mother and I would watch this movie. Now that I'm on my own, I plan on continuing this tradition for as long as I can. This is one of those movies you can watch and never grow tired of. My mother loved it, I love it, and hopefully my future children will love it.

This review is for a different format. One of the Best!
The animated "Grinch" and "Charlie Brown Christmas" are the absolute best Christmas specials. I simply cannot imagine anyone but Boris Karloff doing the voice-over for the Grinch - he was perfect! A simple story of the redemption of a sad soul told in a gentle and humorous fashion.

One of the most endearing of all Peanuts' specials finds Charlie Brown nurturing the thinnest, scraggliest Christmas tree ever. At first the gang makes fun of Charlie for choosing such an ugly tree for the holiday but a timely assist from Linus makes the true message of the season come shining through. Everyone realizes in the end that a little affection can make all the difference in the world... even to a tree.
48 minute DVD featuring two great Peanuts holiday specials!

How The Grinch Stole Christmas review
$13.09
This vignette-laden, nostalgic view of Christmastime in 1940s Indiana follows nine-year-old Ralphie, who desperately wants a Red Ryder BB Gun for Christmas--and is waging an all-out campaign to convince his reluctant parents that the toy will be safe in his hands. By turns warped and winsome, the comedy follows Ralphie as he prepares for the big day with his rather idiosyncratic family. Based on the novel by humorist Jean Shepherd (who also narrates the film), A CHRISTMAS STORY gained popularity long after its theatrical run, through frequent holiday broadcasts that turned its schoolyard "triple-dog" dares, family neuroses, and childhood indignities into a Yuletide tradition.
This 98 minute feature film is a DVD starring Peter Billin gsley, Darren McGavin, and Melinda Dillon. Discontinued.

How The Grinch Stole Christmas review
$6.29
An explicit and disturbing documentary which examines the processes a lifeless human body undergoes. Compelling, if difficult to watch, footage of autopsies, embalming, etc. make this an educational feature for the non-squeamish viewer.
This fascinating, frightening and enlightening documentary masterfully explores how different cultures treat death and the dying. Autopsy, mummification, embalming, cremation, cryogenics and more. Experience hysteria, funeral rituals and burials; hear sacred words spoken, chanted and sung; listen to those at death’s door. "Death goes asinging among the prickly pears. And so, Baldlady, you take me along? Yes or no?"

How The Grinch Stole Christmas video
$6.99
The Guthrie Theater adapted Charles Dickens's classic tale for this stage production of A CHRISTMAS CAROL that aired on the Entertainment Channel in 1982. Playwright Barbara Field takes some innovative liberties with the story, including Dickens himself as a character and narrator. The production also benefits from some ambitious, inventive staging. But at the heart is the adaptation is Scrooge, his buoyant change of heart, and the rest of the lovable ensemble associated with this timeless holiday treasure.

| | Secret Of Nimh DVDs (1982)
How The Grinch Stole Christmas film
$15.79
Don Bluth's THE SECRET OF NIMH is an exquisitely drawn, colorfully animated feature about Mrs. Brisby, a brave mother field mouse who struggles to save her family's home from a farmer's plow. She soon discovers she needs the help of the strange, intelligent rats who live beneath the nearby rosebush in an intricate city. But when the timid but determined Mrs. Brisby discovers the astounding wonders of NIMH, it could change her life forever. From the Hitchcockian flashback sequence revealing the rats' secret to the moral questions raised about animal testing, this film is a beautiful example of how animation can expertly tell a gripping story while still remaining appropriate and entertaining for children. Widely considered to be Bluth's masterpiece, THE SECRET OF NIMH features a strong cast of vocal talent, including Derek Jacobi, John Carradine, Dom DeLuise, Elizabeth Hartman, Wil Wheaton, and Shannen Doherty.
