Superb

It is Christmas Eve and everyone in Whoville is looking forward to tomorrow. Everyone, that is, except the Grinch, who hates Christmas and can't stand to see people so excited over it. He decides to ruin Christmas for the people of Whoville by stealing all their presents and other Christmas goodies.

Superb short film, based on the Dr. Seuss book. Has Dr. Seuss's incredibly creative and imaginative names for things, the clever rhyming narration, the wordplay in general. Some great songs too that blend effortlessly into the flow of the film.

Throw in the voice of Boris Karloff as the narrator and the Grinch and a wonderful, profound ending and this is one of the greatest Christmas films. It is certainly the greatest adaptation of a Dr. Seuss story.
