Many people are familiar with the Dr. Suess book published in 1957. If you like that, then this cartoon from 1966 will put you in Heaven.
It's true to the story, it hardly changes an inch, it's the story of that green creature named The Grinch. He hates the Who's and he hates December 25th, so he decides to go and steal all the decorations and all of the gifts.
I loved this as a kid, but I only like it now. But how any childhood could pass this...I have no idea how. Like I said, it follows the story- to every last rhyme, and that's part of why it's lasted all this time.
The best part however, even after this long, is the addition of the You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch song. I love the Christmas hymns, like O Come All Ye Faithful, but after those, for this song I am most grateful.
It's sung by Thurl Ravenscroft, who you may not know, but in December you're sure to hear it on the radio. He later voiced the Vaccum in The Brave Little Toaster, that role is first rate, and he also is Tony The Tiger, who says "Theeeeey're GREAT!"
June Foray is Cindy Lou Who, the Whoville little child, and she later voiced the Grandma in Mulan, that's pretty wild. Boris Karloff is in it too, he narrates just fine, but he is most famous for playing the monster of Frankenstein.
Their voices make it special, on top of the tale, and that's all this brief cartoon pretty much entails. It's a good holiday movie if your heart is 2 sizes too small, and it's a good watch for the young, old, and all.
That's all I have to say, all that I wish. Expect for, as a special, you're a fun one, Mr. Grinch.
