Horror star Boris Karloff provides the narration for this animated version of Dr Seuss' festive tale. The Grinch is a mean and wicked creature who resents the coming of Christmas to nearby Who-ville. In fact, he despises the festive season so much that he decides to steal all the presents and decorations from the village. Does this mean there will be no Christmas in Who-ville? Not if little Cindy Lou can help it. (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)

English A classic that cannot be absent from American television at Christmas. An animated adaptation of the famous children's book. A victory of nostalgia over true quality. ()

English I liked the live-action version a lot - I do like Jim Carrey after all, but I have to admit that even the short animated version still has a lot going for it. For example, the way the Grinch moves is beautifully drawn. And to top it all off, Boris Karloff's voice doesn't disappoint even when you can't see his face. For me, the animated version is great. ()
