Ayo I made a mistake in the vid. It wasnt Boris Karlof but Thurl Ravenscroft who sang the original song of "youre a mean one mr grinch". Sorry about that!
I think that was the guy who did the voice of Tony the Tiger!
This was a great video just a suggestion could u talk about The Nightmare before Christmas? It’s really good movie that’s both Halloween and Christmas
Bro, I literally cry as hard as Jim did during his own performance at the end of the movie. I feel what he feels, every time. I feel the Grinch's pain, through Jim's amazing acting.
You should review firebreather. That’s probably the most underrated movie of any 2000’s kid’s childhood.
Merry Christmas BionicPIG.
The Grinch says all his things came to him in the Whos' garbage - especially their old Christmas gifts. That implies that Max the dog also came to him in the garbage, and was probably someone's unwanted Christmas gift...but the Grinch adopted him, which proves that he isn't a bad guy.
Omg, I never thought of that. That also solidifies just how terrible the Whos really were. 😡
Anyone up for some animating? I need a short of the grinch (most likely teen) getting max and deciding to keep him
Holy crap… Whos are EVIL!!!
He was just as unwanted as the Grinch was. Max is perhaps the first and only friend he's made.
There actually a book from my childhood that tells us how max and the grinch meet. So basically max just wandered to the grinch front door and the grinch had a flee but noticed when max was around his itch went away so he decided to keep him. So the garbage theory is probably right.
fun fact: in one scene when the Grinch pulled the table cover off the table everything was supposed to fall over, but Jim Carrey did it perfectly and it didn't
XD
That's pretty cool
Jim carrey’s the best lol
Oh nice fact, I always found that funny when he went back to knock it all over
yep you can see the outtakes of it on the dvd
Jim Carrey was actually going insane from the torture he went through from that makeup. Still delivered a legendary performance.
He never recovered
The fact that he had to go through torture training and it still broke him BUT HE STILL NAILED IT!
Yeh he did training with like a CIA guy IIRC to learn how to put up with irritation on the skin for hours from the fur
But like, why the fuck was the makeup and the contacts like... BURNING dude's skin? Jesus Christ purchase a different can of makeup. How many millions of dollars was the budget?
bruh, it amplified his performance.

just wanted to remind everyone that the "Grinch smile" is not CGI or makeup
jim carrey actually did it
Also, there is video evidence of Carrey without the makeup doing the smile. (Though the grin had a slight CGI effect, to give it a slightly more cartoonish feature to it)

Every time I do the laundry, I end up thinking of the one scene where the Grinch starts throwing around the Mail. “Jury duty, jury duty, blackmail, pink slip…”
Lmao me too! Every time I grab my mail I always think of that scene 🤣
Eviction notice lol
Fun Fact: Max was actually played by 6 different dogs named Kelly, Chip, Topsy, Stella, Bo, and Zelda
Edit: Thanks for all the likes! Blessings be upon you and your families. Have a blessed day my children.
Yep and Kelly did most of the stunts as well as Chip.
They did a great job finding dogs that looked similar! Max looks like a total mutt so it must have been hard finding 6 dogs with similar enough features that they could pass for one another!

I never understood why people hated this movie. It's one of the best Christmas movies out there.
I didn't know people hated this moviw
@@pixiestxNyomouf people do from what I can tell. Even more back then than now, but that's because the people that hated it care less.
Lmao I've never heard of someone not liking this movie
I guess because it went a bit far from the book but tbh it was great especially too that little girl who played Cindy Lou grew to be a rock star artist. While the Cat in the hat was just straight up trash
RIGHT? I know some people who just think it's a dumb kids movie. But like Pig said, this movie has layers, peeling them back and really understanding what the movie is trying to say is the best part. It's my favorite Christmas movie and it still makes me laugh. Pig's breakdown of this movie is also superb.
jim carrey as the grinch is literally perfect casting.
In the same way that he is perfect as doctor robotnik in the sonic movie. One thing he does perfectly is how he plays fun and silly villain characters who are serious. It’s really easy to love his performance.
It feels like a fan casting I swear. They knew he would do an amazing job
L
Mmmmmmm......maybe as the mask, but......not here.....(atleast in MY humble opinion)
Even as a kid I knew that the Grinch wasn’t such a bad guy. Watching him destroy the town was so awesome and satisfying.
Yeah, because Cindy wanted that the Grinch would be the King of the party but the Mayor didn't want him, and when the Grinch won the race I thin the Mayor's "present" was on porpuse to humiliate the Grinch because Cindy wanted him at the party, it wasn't just because it was an innocent prank, the Mayor did that on porpuse
@@germanacola2234 it was hilarious when he got his comeuppance.

@@nsasupporter7557the mayor was fucking hilarious
@@porterijsseldijk3953 but he was the real villain of the movie
"Santa what's Christmas really about?" Vengeance!" Best line in the whole movie!
Yes literally my favorite part
"They hated him, for he told the truth."
Merry Christmas.
Is this from the allegory of the cave
@@anthieas_flowers4940 I am familiar with that allegory. It could be. But I remember it from the comic panel that turned exploitable meme.
Wherein Jesus Christ was addressing the crowd. And the next panel shows angry people with the caption. "They hated him, for he told the truth."
Really, there isn't much difference between Jesus Christ and Socrates when you get right down to it. Maybe it was the same god.
And yes. I know. Socrates was alleged to have been the tutor of Plato, whom himself taught Aristotle. Both of which are known to have lived, but Socrates himself. Might be a bit of a myth... Somewhat of a recurring character, a pen name many philosophers wrote under. Possibly.
This film has matured like a fine wine. Not too bitter, not too soft and perfect for Christmas.
Really? Dog ass kissing, shoving faces in to womens' breasts, a dirty, ugly, polluted-looking city, and a joke where a taxi driver goes by the grinch and he says "IT'S BECAUSE I'M *GREEN* ISN'T IT!?!?!?" has aged like FINE WINE?
My thoughts exactly!
You know the way the grinch gets everything he owns is by everyone's trash they throw away.... so I sometimes wonder how he got Max....
OHHHHH boy
People do throw away/abandon dogs after Christmas sometimes. When they get them as gifts and realize dogs are actually kinda hard to take care of and not just cute toys to play with :(
@@the13throse Wonder if Grinchy Boi ever had multiple dogs, and Max is the only one remaining
Wow, I never thought about the fact that everyone buys gifts and the Grinch is the only one who made one and honestly ANYTHING. As a kid, you get this lonely man vibe of him living off of garbage, but as an adult you see, it's not garbage as much as it is the consumerism that quickly passes and the "presents" they get gets tossed.
The Grinch was voiced by Boris Karloff, but “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” was sung by Thurl Ravenscroft, whom you may know as the one and only Tony the Tiger!
So Tony the Tiger sung "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch."
@@0nullnil correct! 😁
@@therealCrazyJake That's hilarious.
I always thought the whos were so selfish in this movie as a kid and I hated them. Also, I agree with you that this is one of Jim Carrey's best roles.
Hey, but his role in the Christmas Carol was banging too. Jim isn't a guy to take a check, he is a talented and dedicated actor who is really underrated and type casted as a comedian. He was so good in the Truman Show, and it was marketed like a comedy but you watch it today and it is legitimately horrifying. But yes, he really gave the Grinch as a character a lot to think about.
True. He was good in those.
@@StoicVeRyou ever seen Yes Man?
Surprised he didn't talk about how the movie shows the Grinchs strength. Like how as a kid he could pick up a tree with ease, and when he's older he easily picks up Sindey Lue. Showing how much stronger he is then everyone else
To be fair, I feel like it's more of an emotional thing, he only picked up the tree when he was mad and he couldn't stop the sleigh until he was desperate enough to save Cindy Lou
Cindy-Lou.
The Grinch is a timeless gem nothing will ever convince me otherwise.
I'm sorry, but I really, really REEEEEEEALLLLY do not like this one. U can like it, I'm not gonna try to make you hate it, but I think it's just best to just stick to the book and 60's short
@@leonardosomma4196ell yeah the books are definitely better and the cartoon was also really good but this is probably the best live action Dr Suess movie imo especially with Jim Carry’s Proformance
@@leonardosomma4196 so ur not gonna actually give any reasons for ur argument
@@heisenberg6142 fine, I'll give reasons. U can disagree, but here are my reasons. The film is ugly to look at, it's not funny, everyone is unlikable, Jim Carrey as the grinch wasnt the right casting, and it doesnt try to build on the ideas of the dr seuss book like PIG said it does, it ACTIVELY DOES THE OPPOSITE of the source material, taking creative liberties is one thing, but to actively do the opposite of the source material means ur just going to fail in every way he source material succeeded
@@leonardosomma4196 I mean ugly to look I disagree I thought all of the practical effects and set pieces were amazing, comedy is subjective so neither of us are right there, I think Jim Carey was a perfect casting because he was actually able to pull of a great performance under all of the costume and he’s just a naturally flexible person who can do a lot of weird faces n shit, and yes it’s not like the source material and obviously it’s not rlly trying to be
I love the idea that, obviously Cindy wasn't stupid in the movie, or even that naive, and so when she saw the Grinch, she knew it was him immediately, but humored him to let him feel better and because she was tired of the materialism too.
You have no idea how happy it makes me to hear that there are others who like The Grinch. I loved this movie, still do and always will. I consider it one of my favourite Christmas movies, next to Elf
As much as I love Elf, The Grinch definitely rivals it for me. Especially the ending, with all the Who's singing in unison with the Grinch in his cave, slowly then quickly panning out of the snowflake. Such a beautiful and hopeful shot.
Grinch is an iconic movie and legendary, no one can capture Jim Carrey as the Grinch!.
Agree.
@@delete---7593 Facts
Might I recommend the Universal Grinch. Dude comes preeeeeetty close to Jim's level
What if I used a really big net?
@@Monkeyfuzz Booooooo but also well played pun
The theme of commercialization actually fits well with the story since Dr. Suess’ inspiration for the Grinch was his dismay towards the commercialization of Christmas along with his wife’s health problems at the time.
So funny story. It was family christmas for us one year, and all us siblings got together, and watched this movie. We were cracking jokes, having a good time, until one of us said, "Hey, do you think there is Cindy Lou and Grinch fanfiction?". We quickly fell into the rabbit hole of it, and it's one of my most memorable christmas' to this day.
That is so cursed, but so amusing all at once.

The Mask, The Grinch and Robotnik are probably my favorite Jim Carrey performances, he just goes all in on the wackiness.
What about dumb and dumber
@@BRIANOCONNOR2003 That one is a given, though the humor for me personally is more hit or miss then anything.
@@heartless2147 and Batman forever
I always identified with this version of the Grinch, his story and character. The Whos are terrible people.
Jim Carrey went all out, he really cared and it shows. To be in so much pain discomfort and still give that performance. Nowadays it'd probably be done with CGI but imo they really did a great job allowing for all of his expressions to shine through.
The thing I didn't like is the design of the Whos, they honestly make it harder to watch having to look at them. At least they didn't put Taylor through those prosthetics.
I didn’t need a video to prove the obvious point that The Grinch (2000) was the best one BUT I’ll gladly watch this video regardless
ua-cam.com/video/3w19SAl1OBQ/v-deo.html
Really? Dog ass kissing, shoving ur face in a woman's breast, and a dirty, polluted, ugly looking city makes this the BEST version of the story, OVER Dr. Seuss' book, AND the Boris Karloff one? Like, I'm glad u like it, but.........REALLY!?
Actually, the song "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" from the Chuck Jones special was actually sung by Thurls Ravencroft, the vocalist for the Haunted Mansion song and the voice of Tony the Tiger.
Jim Carrey was originally not going to play the Grinch, but rather Jack Nicholson.
Imagine how that'll turn out...
that would be genuinely horrifying 😭

For the love of god that’d turn it into a horror movie
I'm not gonna steal your presents! I'm just gonna bash your brains in!
Probably better
I absolutely LOVE this movie, I watch it all year round just for Jim's performance. I've also made the same comparison between this and Cat in the Hat, it's less about being faithful to the source material and more just a skit show based loosely on the characters which in my opinion is what makes them so good, you've already got a simple, well known narrative now just jam as much goofy shit in as possible. Jim and Mike were also perfect fits for this kind of slapstick teetering on stoner comedy, they've got that Nick Cage thing where the more they ham it up the better it is
Sorry but that is bullshit. There is not one part of this that says it's a skit show. It's literally trying to capture the feel of the source material, if it is trying to be a skit show or parody, it fails miserably! I don't care what the guy in this video says, this film objectively sucks! It is obviously trying to be faithful to the book, and it adds things that didn't need to be in the story, and are not what the story is all about. This is a bad film. I am really tired of all this needless praise!
My favorite line from this movie is "PLAY MONKEY! PLAY! Play play play play play!" Followed by him placing his head in-between the money cymbals
I wouldn't say they improved the grinch as a character. They pretty much just offered an alternative take for him. A person who hates something because they've never experienced it properly is about as realistic as a person who hates something because they associate it with trauma.
I definitely agree. The Grinch in the book was the wrong one as he associated the holiday with materialism and felt like the Who's only celebrated for surface level reasons. Once he stole Christmas he expected the hear the cries of being proven right. However, the Who's celebrated the holiday anyways. They knew there was more to Christmas then just gifts and toys. They understood the true meaning of Christmas and as such the Grinch no longer hated them. His heart grew three sizes as he can now finally appreciate the Who's.
Compare this to the movie where time and time again, the Grinch gets proven right and instead of just being a redemption for the Grinch, it's a redemption for the entire town as they now have to learn the true meaning of Christmas. I'd say this take definitely works better for a full length film as the focus isn't just on a single person but an entire town.
I always knew it was great like unironically. Jim Carrey definitely carries, the world building, the heartbreaking backstory, and the Grinch is of course a relatable hilarious character.
I agree 100%. People usually give me the "are you serious" look when I say that the Grinch is THE Christmas movie so it's nice to see some people on the same side
The best scene in this movie is when everyone is feeding the Grinch pudding and one of the whos says "this is not pudding" shoves it in his mouth. Then then the Grinch spits it out and says "what is it!?"
“ I want golf clubs, I want diamonds, I want a pony so I can ride it twice, get bored then sell it to make glue!” Best line in the film.
I personally feel that Jim Carrey related to the Grinch in ways and that drove his acting here. Would make a lot of sense considering how he works.
I will always think the reason why the Mayor bullied the Grinch is bc he was jealous that the Grinch could grow facial hair and he couldn't. He still doesn't have facial hair as an adult
"His heart grew three sizes that day and immediately shrank six, imploding into a black hole where no love could escape."
When you said "the real villain is-" it cut off with an ad for UA-cam premium, so in my head you said "the real villain is UA-cam premium ads"
That would be spot-on honestly
Me and my family have a tradition to watch this movie every Christmas Eve together ❤️
Jim Carrey's comedy always carries a whole film.
“You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch” was performed by Thurl Ravenscroft. Who, in addition to having a dope ass name, is also the original Tony the tiger. You also may recognize his voice as the booming bass in “Grim Grinning Ghosts” on The Haunted Mansion. An absolute icon imo.
This movie gets better with age. I think that it was way too over-hated when it came out because of its different direction, but people are just starting to notice the brilliant aspects of the film. The main one especially being Jim Carrey’s excellent performance as the Grinch.
I wish this video came out 12 hours earlier because I JUST had this discussion with my family on why it's the best. Could've used all this supporting evidence :P
This movie is one of the Christmas movies that have ever come out, this and the Mask got me into Jim Carrey and I've loved his movies ever since 👍👍👍
Is sure is one of the Christmas movies that have ever come out
Yup, one of the most holiday feature films that ever came out
I actually just finished watching the movie when I noticed you did a video on it. I didn't know Jim had gone through all that THAT bad. I just knew it was difficult, damn. :[ at least it wasn't all for nothing. he gave it his all and it turned out SO good that I highly doubt anyone would be able to top his performance as the Grinch. Kudos to the director for trying the Grinch costume even just for a day to understand. shows he truly cared about the people working on the movie with him.
also, I literally just now, this year, realized it was a Swingers party once I noticed the bowl full of keys. it reminded me of this episode of That 70's Show, where I first learned about it.
also, I think its awesome Taylor grew up to front a hard rock band. I'm actually a fan of The Pretty Reckless. my current favorite song by them is 'Only Love Can Save Me Now', among many others. her voice has gotten so much better.
15:18 also another thing about the grinch having a dog. Is as most Dog owners know, u have to be very selfless when taking care of a dog and u have to put the dog over urself sometimes. Which shows that even tho the grinch tries to be mean and secluded he still takes care of max
It's really ironic. I was watching XQC going to universal studios and there was a moment where the guide was showing them where Max the dog was so they can see him. When they got there, there was a line of people waiting to take a picture with Max, who was an ACTUAL REAL DOG. Someone from X's group even commented how the dog was annoyed by the antlers and how the workers kept forcing it on him. There is just so much irony in all of that considering the points that come the movie. Also proves how pathetic humans can be to wait in a line to take a picture with a dog just because he looks like the one fr4om the movie...
This is one of the only Christmas movies I can watch every year, it's definitely one of my favorites
The more you age,the more you start to find how relatable the grinch is
I think one of my favorite scenes in this movie is the one where he’s at the post office throwing the letters into peoples mail slots and going “Jury duty! Jury duty! Blackmail for you! Jury duty! Pink slip!”
Okay, I'm a grinch 2000 hater, but that IS pretty funny

I still remember lining up at the cinema for this movie, probably the first one I went to. There must've been like 150 people there, idk of a bigger Christmas movie release since then. Maybe elf on DVD? Idk, this one was an instant classic
fun fact: the song in the movie called “Where Are You Christmas?” was written by Mariah Carey
What !? Wow🥺 makes me love her even more
While I genuinely hate the mayor and some of the jokes are cringey, I really like this movie. The sets look nice, the makeup, especially in the Grinch, was outstanding, the VFX surprisingly hold up well, the acting was good, Jim Carrey was outstanding as the Grinch, the score is great, most of the jokes were funny, and there was some heartfelt moments. I love watching this every Christmas
i'm just saying.........the thumbnail is perfect. One of my favorite things about the movie is Martha May generally likes the Grinch even thou the mayor tries buying her off. I like to imagine after the movie she moves in with him and they have a blast dumpster diving every Thursday.
Yes, me too! I'm glad she chose Grinch over the mayor, who is really responsible for everything that has happened, and knowing that she has loved him since school. I like to imagine what can happen after the film, marriage between Martha and the Grinch? Living together on Crumpit Mountain? In her own house? And if he would get one or more babies on quiet nights 😉 I like to imagine their life as a couple.
he really did my boy thurl ravenscroft like that
If someone deserves to be immortal, it is Jim Carrey
Fun fact: for those who didn’t know, Taylor momsen is in a metal band called the pretty reckless :)
If my mind got wiped, I would still remember this movie, that's how much I watched it as a kid
I totally agree, the scenery could have been more vibrant but it's definitely my favorite Christmas movie!
Finally, someone else who appreciates this cinematic masterpiece for its anti-commercialist message.
I’m glad you pointed out that the Grinch hand made the gift for Martha himself. It always means a lot to me personally when I make a gift, or am given a hand made gift so hearing you touch on that was appreciated.
"You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch" was actually performed by Thurl Ravenscroft (Karloff did voice the narrator but I guess he couldn't sing)
Honestly, about the mail room scene, I've always wondered how did Lou not even hear his daughter screaming when that happened? He's just like "You've been practicing your Christmas wrapping." Like dude, did you not hear her yelling?
Fun Fact: in an extended version of the Grinch, the lights contest happens and it says on the card that Cindy's mother won but he decides instead that Martha May won being a complete liar and I actually love that scene because it shows how shallow the Mayor is that he would lie about who won the lights contest just so he could get with Martha May
So glad this movie is getting appreciation as a genuinely good movie, not just for nostalgia. The motivation for the Grinch always made sense to me as a kid and I liked how the Whos had to learn a lesson as well instead of just being completely unfazed about the Grinch's theft in the original book and animated special. I also think Jim Carrey's hammy performance makes perfect sense: he's a dude who's been stuck on a mountain for years and is going nuts from the isolation and hatred in his soul. I never got the critics who said "HIS PERFORMANCE NEEDS TO BE REIGNED IN!!!!"; did they think someone in that situation would be calm and collected?
I have no clue why I love this man explaining movies and rating them. Like I've seen all the movies but I have to watch him explain them to me for me to actually enjoy them.
I would just like to say you are by far one of my favorite youtubers. Your choices of movies and the way you actually do research on them and break them down is remarkable. I always have a great time watching your videos. From all that you seem like an intelligent guy with a good heart. Hope you're doing well, Pig!
I kinda have to agree this Grinch is superior. Of course the og animated short will forever be iconic, but everything felt more fleshed out in this version, especially the Grinch. In the original, he seemed like he was just written as “Oh he hates Christmas, moving on” but in the live action he has soooo much more personality (it also helps that it was Jim Carrey playing him) and even Cindy felt more fleshed out as a character. The animated one tried to imply she had a major life changing role only for her to have one line of dialogue, but the live action made her one of the main characters and actually motivated the Grinch to lift the sleigh as it was falling
You people will never understand why this movie is bad and why the original is superior. The grinch being the bad guy in the original was the point! This movie just takes all of that and turns it into a generic bad guy is secretly good, society and people are bad message. Cindy didn't need to be any more major than see was in the book. It was a short story! She didn't need to be anything more major! Plus, the Cindy in this movie was pretty generic and boring in my opinion. We can't just have her be an innocent child who just loves Christmas, it has to be the generic independent, voice of reason, child character. The who's being the real bad people in this movie is also bad. It is against what the book is, it is very derivative, and it DOES try to act like it is being faithful to the source material, while actively going against it. This is a bad movie.
Just rewatched it. Holds up still and it’s hilarious. Jim Carry is a riot
Me and my mom watch this movie every single December as a tradition, I will always love this movie and it gets way too much hate that it gets, it’s not a bad movie, it’s just judged because it’s not an exact copy of the book, which if it was it wouldn’t be as good as it is
I love that you included the clip of when Cindy Lou takes his hand at the end and he looks down at her so wholesomely. Makes me laugh every time because it reminds me of myself when my 3 year old grabs my hand to lead me somewhere 😂
I freaking love this movie. I didn't know the fun facts on this movie either. Thanks for giving me that info on the production!
Dang, this video really changed my outlook on the film. I always thought that it was a bit corny or something, but with your input, I’ve gained a greater appreciation for it. Thx for making this👍
Saw someone make a similar comment, but to go into more depth, it took 8 1/2 hours to get him in and out of full costume and makeup, weighing almost as much as him; that’s already 16hr days not including performance and rehearsal times. He underwent CIA TORTURE ENDURANCE training to see this movie thru. That’s reason enough this movie needs to be cemented as one of the greatest grinch adaptations & Christmas movies in general. Doesn’t hurt Carrey was born to play this kind of part, but knowing the literal TORTURE he endured to bring this to us, you better appreciate the shit out this movie. 👏💀
I remember when my aunt took my sister and I, along with some other kids, to see this film in theaters that december it was released.
We got some popcorn and a brown paper bag that was filled with candy. I sat in the theater and loved every second of the movie and have ever since. Like Toy Story, it got better with every watch as I got older, catching the adult jokes. You can't go one Christmas without watching this film. It's timeless. 👌 🎅🎄❄🦌
also one easter egg that was implified in movie, Cindy was target of bullying because her nose didn't grow like everyone elses. That implifies her child innocence unlike other Whos who are completely materialistic and basically craving for gifts. In my country we have proverb about extremely prideful people. (pride in this isn't portrayed in good way but in meaning of Seven deadly sins like meaning of pride) "You can spot prideful peaople by their proud nose." that means these people always look down on people and it's shown when they points their head slightly to sky and their nose it pointing that way "above" these people. You can watch really great Czechoslovak fairytale film called "Proud princess" from 1952 and you would understand.
12:48 "she looks at the Grinch every time she sees him"

It’s my moms favorite movie we watch it every year lol. Honestly was confused on why people hated it so much, I think it’s really charming and fun. Has a lot of character and it’s super memorable.
I watched this movie every year alongside the original when I was growing up, this and the Muppet Christmas Carol are my go-to Christmas movies.
I watched both of those on Christmas this year!
@@lyslegrande9282 It's like comfort food in movie form to me, I love them so much 😊
One of my favourite Jim carrey films, the movements and facial expressions he showed are perfectly captured from the classic animation version.
An interesting thing i heard was that the grinch lives on that mountain that gets all the trash max was probably a gift that got sent through the trash after someone got tired of their Christmas gift
I never thought about that as a kid.... Whoever dumped him better be remorseful if not, we will get Max justice
“jury duty, jury duty, jury duty, blackmail, eviction notice, pink slip, jury duty”
this has lived rent free in my head since i was 6. i am 18 😂
I watched this last week! I was hella funny...the grinch is mad relatable in so many ways.
The “Where are you Christmas” song, perfection
Something I find interesting about this movie is that it’s showing fake happiness that people express during the holidays.
“Look at how beautiful our house is, we’re such a happy family.”
As a kid I always thought Jim Carrey was the director because I couldn’t recognize him through the makeup. This movie was a big part of my childhood. Th most influential one is the Goonies
I literally watched this yesterday, and i loved it
I also wanna say as a younger kid
I noticed all the bad the who's were doing tbh and was so mad when cindy loo's father was proud of her practicing her wrapping, like i actually wanted to fight him

Theres a scene in the movie that when hes trying to find an outfit to wear, he pulls a white cloth from the table with a bunch of stuff on it, but all the stuff stayed on, and a couple of seconds later the grinch just forcefully shoves everything off 😂
The original idea from the director is that the appliances on the table were meant to fly off the table in the first place, but the director like what the grinch did there and kept it that way
Something that a lot of people don't know is that while, yes, Boris Karloff narrates the Grinch and voices him, he does NOT sing "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch". It's actually sung by Tony the Tiger's voice actor, Thurl Ravenscroft.
I feel time is the best determiner of quality. Comparing this to the illumination grinch shows how much effort and love went into this film compared to the newer one. Jim carrey is the best part of this and his eccentric acting really helps to give charm and personality. Also Jim does a good job with your a mean one mr grinch chance the rapper mutilates a classic. I am sure if we get a fifth adaptation of the grinch people will shift their opinion, but I am glad gen z is looking back on this film with kinder eyes
Jim Carrey Rocks Every Show and Every Movie He's Been in 🤞🏾🔥
Also. We know that the grinch basically gets all of his stuff from the dump right? There is a cute theory that he found max in the dump and saved him. Sort of like an abandoned christmas puppy deal
Jim Carrey makes a very good real life cartoon character
the grinch is a classic I watch it every year
Jim Carrey did a good job in this movie, but I still think his best was The Riddler in Batman Forever
This is honestly the only Christmas movie I look forward to, as well as the cartoon original.
That scene when he talks to himself always gets me "I'm an idiot. YOU'RE an idiot" XD
It makes me laugh every time I see it again 😂. Especially the second time we hear "YOU ARE a moron" the expression he makes right after .... 😆
