Product Details

Product Description

Additional features

The best of the half-dozen short segments on The Grinch DVD mirrors the best part of the movie itself, namely Rick Baker's Oscar®-winning make-up. Baker and star Jim Carrey are such interesting personalities that their stories about the time-consuming process are entertaining. For the kids, Max's Playhouse has some simple games and three sing-alongs. How interesting you find the rest of the extras will depend on how much you liked the film. An unhosted segment on deleted scenes is nothing special, and the segment on how the movie extras, including members of the Cirque de Soleil, worked on their bits could have been far longer. Trying to match the movie's scale, the DVD even boasts recipes. --Doug Thomas

5.0 out of 5 stars Like new means like new!, Aug 17 2009
This review is from: Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Widescreen) (DVD)
BeatGoesOn did a great job with my video order. The postal service too a long time. I had given up and sent an email requesting a tracking and the folks at BeatGoesOn were prompt and said that they would send out another DVD. Of course the postal service came through the next morning so I couls send a quick email to have BeatGoesOn stop the second mailing. Now that's service above and beyond. Now if we could only get the postal service working!! Cheers

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it!, Jun 22 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Grinch, the 00 (VHS Tape)
I really liked it a lot! I watch the original cartoon every Chrsitmas and I've read the book to my little brother. This is a really cute movie I would definitly reccomend. I think the Grinch's cold hearted spirit is captured really well (until he turns good that is). Some people don't like this and feel it ruined the Grinch because it's not strictly to the book, but what do you expect? The book wasn't very long. It can be read in about five minutes more or less...

Anyway I do suggest you watch this provided you aren't one of those affor mentioned people that freak out over every little thing. I do NOT reccomend the Cat in the Hat movie. I thought that movie seemed too much like Austin Powers in a cat suit to tell the truth,

4.0 out of 5 stars So THAT'S how he stole it..., May 5 2004
By MZ (Novinger, MO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Grinch, the 00 (VHS Tape)
That was Jim Carrey in that costume? I don't think anyone could have pulled it off better, but for me, Taylor Momsen, who played Cindy Loo Who, was the most enjoyable to watch. What a gifted little actress. Christine Baranski and Molly Shannon, both musically-inclined favorites of mine, also danced across the screen.

So this isn't exactly the same storyline as the one penned by the good doctor himself. But it is very close, with some details added in to give adults a few more chuckles.

And if you like it for nothing else, you will love the fantasy world created by some outstanding set and costume design; terrific old and new music; and vivid special effects.

Worth a viewing or two for all of you Who's.
