How the Grinch Stole Christmas: Ultimate Edition (BD) [Blu-ray]

Great film for whole family

The children, 8 and 11, enjoyed it, as did the older generations.

After hunting around for this for quite some time, I was glad not to find the terrible Jim Carrey adaptation and to come across this one for Region 2. It's exactly what I wanted to share with my friends before we broke up for the Christmas break and with my sisters right before Christmas eve - and I definitely plan to come back to it again when the festive season begins next year. (Nostalgia aside, it DOESN'T have Jim Carrey in it, which might be the biggest plus of the entire product! {especially after all of my friends only connected the film to the terrible remake})

This version of the grinch is a good old classic that i can compare the difference with other version i have watched. I do like the cartoon art style and the grinch iconic smile for this version.

Need I say more? Dr. Seuss, directed by Chuck Jones and narrated by Boris Karloff! It is a faithful re-telling of Dr. Seuss's classic story that copies the art and most importantly retains the word play. It even has some good songs if you like that kind of thing! The Grinch, bitter and selfish steals Christmas away from the Whose. Disguising himself as Santa, he sneaks down to the Whose to take everything Christmassy, and everything else. But will that stop Christmas? Is he beyond enjoying the season himself? What happens when little Cindy Loo Who, who returns his spiteful act with an act of kindness itself... If your only point of reference is the recent film (never mind) this is much (much) better. Who can fail to love the Cat in the Hat; the way this is presented... This disc also includes another cartoon (by the same team) from a Dr. Seuss book, Horton Hears a Who, which is due for cinema release soon...

Most holiday movies work on making kids believe in Santa, this story references Santa - even the Whos in Whoville believe in Santa - but the point of this story is that the holiday is about love, about families and friends sharing time together and being happy. It tells the story through the eyes of the Grinch who can't bear to see others happy because he himself is not...as the fantastic soundtrack says..."he has garlic in his soul!" His transformation is wonderful for kids and adults and now as an adult, i look forward to watching this one every year at least as much as i did when i was a kid.

As a non-native who has been living in Europe for over a decade, I was missing a lot of the staple holiday classics I had enjoyed during my formative years. After becoming a father of two, I decided it was time to invest in several of the Christmas movies that were always on heavy rotation back home. I bought this disc simply for the Grinch and didn't pay much attention to the product description, so I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it also includes the original animated version of Horton Hears a Who. Even if you never grew up with this film, I would highly recommend it for both you and your little ones.

The kids love this film

Beställde den innan julen men fick den ca 4 månader senare, och fodralet kom skadat.

この世界観、大好きです♪ 家のデッキで普通に見れますよ～。 吹き替えや字幕は、日本語はなく英語ですが、全て英語でも問題なしです！

Precioso y entrañable descubrimiento de un clásico navideño muy conocido en América basado en un popular libro infantil. Breve historia de 24 minutos con buena animación y una historia extra, además de comentarios.

Great quality, such a classic.

英語教師をしています。１０年ほど前に、アメリカからのALTがこのアニメについて教えてくれました。英語がわからなくても、クリスマスのイメージが伝わります。その当時は、このALTが持っていたアメリカのテレビ放送のビデオを使用しましたが、画像も音もあまりよくありませんでした。実写版のグリンチもおもしろいですが、やはりオリジナルのこのアニメの方が素朴で好きです。昨年、クリスマス直前に注文しようとしたら、到着が遅くなりすぎて、授業に間に合わなくなってしまうため、断念しました。（昨年は、ルドルフ〜赤鼻のトナカイ〜を使いました。こちらも好評でした）今回は、今年のクリスマスシーズンの授業のために早めに購入しました。現在は支援学校に勤めていますので、知的障害のある中・高生にこのビデオを見せようと思っています。家に遊びに来た小学生（２年生）や幼稚園年長さんも、英語でしたが楽しくみていましたよ。
