How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

Back when you didn't get cancelled for being mean to small animals

A story not all that unique; the true meaning of Christmas & the invasiveness of commercialism. What makes this TV special unique is the ability to tell this cohesive story through rhyme and whimsical narration from Boris Karloff, limited yet still rhyming dialogue by the main character (also from Karloff), and a couple of earworm songs wrapped in under 30 minutes. That was the magic of Dr. Seuss, and for Chuck Jones to encapsulate that fast-paced story here was a testament to his talent as an animator and visionary. You can read the book, and you may watch any version you want, but this special deserves its place at the front of the line. >He puzzled and puzzed till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. Maybe Christmas, he thought... doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps... means a little bit more!
