I am 19 and some cartoons don't appeal to me anymore. This is one. 2 years ago I saw it and I was enjoying it and wanting to watch something else at the same time. I still enjoy it, it just doesn't have the same appeal. Since I half enjoy it, I am giving half the stars. If you still enjoy it, great. I still recommend it, despite my low rating. I will probably see it again one day to see if the child in me enjoys it again.I hope my review makes since.

This is what most people think of when Christmas specials come to mind. There's just something about how simple the story is, how great the animation is, and how perfect the message is. For me, Christmas has never been about celebrating the birth of Jesus, and it hasn't been about presents either, Christmas has always been about spending time with people you love. The gifts are nice, but at the end of the day, family is the most important thing, and Dr. Seuss knew this. The movie doesn't have a religious agenda, or a capitalist agenda, the message is that Christmas is about celebrating what we have and loving who we have with us. The songs are classic, the animation still holds up, the message is great, and it's all wrapped up in half an hour, what's better than that?

"Maybe Christmas doesn't come from a store, maybe Christmas means just a little bit more..." that line sums up the film.Funny how some people do not actually pay attention to this films ending - they only remember him stealing all the Christmas away from everyone but they fail to remember the lesson of the tale which is the ending of the film: the Grinch's heart grew 3 times that day and he brought back all the Christmas items to the Whos. Don't forget who carved the roast beast! The Grinch learned the real meaning of Christmas.A wonderful Christmas story for the whole family. A timeless classic.10/10

Classic animated special adapted from the Dr. Seuss story that has the voice talents of Boris Karloff, who both narrates and voices the Grinch, a miserable creature who lives in a mountaintop cave with his dog Max, who gets the awful idea to ruin the Christmas of the neighboring Who's of Whoville, whose singing he cannot stand. He dresses as Santa Claus to steal their presents, but is later shocked by how they respond on Christmas morning... Wonderful special is both heartwarming and funny, with Karloff the perfect choice here. Filled with charm and memorable songs, it's nearly perfect. A perennial holiday favorite not to be missed.
