Great Message in a Short Film
This is a not to miss movie in our house every Christmas. The Grinch goes from looking and acting like the "eel" the famous song describes him as, to a happier, more gentle Grinch when he realizes that the Who's joy isn't monetary, it's spiritual. What a lovely sentiment! Plus, poor Max's dash down the mountain as a "reindeer" still makes us laugh. FYI, he isn't run over by the sleigh, but more slides under it when the sleigh overtakes him downhill.

Okay, what is up with the overall scores?
At first, I thought maybe people who didn't grow up during the 50's-90's just didn't realize what made this such a great classic, but no, this is something I have noticed with the site in general now. Something is seriously wrong with their overall scores because I see nothing but positive reviews for this widely appreciated classic and yet kid reviews has an average score of 1 star... how?

Classic - even for little ones.
This is a favorite in our house. The book, the soundtrack, and the movie are regulars, even though our daughter only watches 1 or 2 shows a week (on weekend mornings). She requests the music from the movie throughout the week, too. She seems to slide right over the taking presents thing and the dog falling, and waits for the end when the Grinch gets "happy," and everyone sings.

 
I wish I had more hands so I could give a greater number of thumbs up
Never gets old.

 
I love the Grinch and still won't miss it even at age 47!

much less intense then the none animated version
the movie was very cute and designed for kids age 4-9. But the none animated one however was not it had lots of iffy content. The none animated one was made for a more mature audence. But this one is OK for kids.

Great, charming, and classic movie for all ages!
This movie is really good and I still enjoy watching it! It teaches kids great lessons and isn't spoiled by crude language or anything bad or questionable. Great family movie and classic for anyone and everyone!

Love it!
I really like this movie a lot and Christmas isn't the same if I don't see it every year with my family. (: The music is cute, the story is interesting, and all in all it's just a very good movie.

Great Christmas special for families!
I've seen this on TV and it's a really good Christmas special. The Grinch is shown being mean and cruel at the beginning, but he learns at the end, that Christmas means more than getting stuff, but about love and kindness. Great for families who celebrate Christmas! Violence: Some VERY mild peril, but nothing too bad for little kids.

Good Thinking With A 12 Year Old
It shows children the real meaning of Christmas and shows kids how and how not to act in public and at the end he shows how much he cares for Christmas. Second he learns how much Christmas means to the children and have a change of heart and I LOVE THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS.

Animated Christmas Classic Brings Joy!
This Christmas classic always brings smiles to faces! And yes it's perfect in all the right places! The narrator and characters, plus every Who, are perfect in basically all that they do. And the song "Mr. Grinch", well what can I say, it's fun and bouncy in every way! So families one and all, from the tall to the small, make the Grinch a family classic, once and for all!
