As first a beloved children’s book and then a classic TV special, Dr. Seuss’ Grinch has been entertaining kids of all ages on Christmas every year for decades. The story (which premiered on TV in 1966) follows the grumpy, holiday-hating Grinch’s evil plot to ruin the Who’s Christmas. Can he steal their holiday spirit by stealing their presents? Or in the end will they teach him that Christmas means just a little bit more?

There’s a reason that this has become the much-loved Christmas classic it has. It captures the spirit of Seuss, his book and viewers alike, offers beautiful animation by the amazing Chuck Jones, some truly unforgettable and catchy songs, and boasts the loving narration/voice talents of the late great Boris Karloff. I’m a real sap at Christmas and the old classics like the Grinch and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer are my favorites.

This 50th Birthday Deluxe Edition DVD of the Grinch features both wonderful video & audio quality highlighted by vivid colors and a clean crisp soundtrack. Special features include ‘Dr. Seuss and the Grinch: From Whoville to Hollywood’ (16 min), ‘TNT’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas: Special Edition’ (20 min), ‘Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who!’ (26 min), ‘Songs in the Key of Grinch’ (8 min), ‘Who’s Who in Whoville’ text-based biographies, song selections, and three pencil tests.

With a great eye-popping video transfer, solid audio and a nice collection of special features, the 50th Birthday Deluxe Edition DVD of ‘Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!’ comes highly recommended for viewers both young and old.

Short but a great movie for christmas time. Don't don't bluray is that great since such an old movie. Dvd would be fine for older films.

this movie is very old and not long, but o man does it make you laugh. i watch it every year at christmas and it realy never gets old. This is a hilarious movie that can be viewed by the whole family

I loved this version as a child at christmas. It is just as I remembered, and now has become a new tradition where I put this on as I'm decorating the tree.

Used to watch this as a kid. Classic. Sit and watch it every year. It's nice to now watch this movie with my kids.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my 'kids' who are 29 & 30 yrs old. When they were children they would love to watch these 'specials' everyyear. I wasn't sure how their response would be but it was a hit with both of them!

Even with the volume turned to max, the voices were 'thready', AND I remembered incorrectly: this is not a full-length movie; it's only 26 minutes' long.

I finally have a copy of this on DVD, finally! It's only taken years and having a toddler to replace my old VHS.
This one's a winner, my 2 1/2 year old loved every second of it, even saying at one point. "Oh no! Not good at all Mama!" to some of the Grinch's antics. A must in every holiday movie collection.

I was amazed by the picture and audio quality, and also appreciate the extra "Horton Hears a Who", which I had never seen before!

I have always loved The Grinch, and this was a must have when it was released on Blu-ray. I was more then happy with the color and sound. Great movie for everyone.
