I WATCHED THIS FOR MY 2023 MOVIE CHALLENGE
WEEK 52: A CHRISTMAS MOVIE
Description: A grumpy
Grinch (Benedict Cumberbatch) plots to ruin Christmas for the village of
Whoville.
Review: The children’s book “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” by Dr. Seuss was
published in 1957 and became a classic. It’s about a grumpy green monster, the
Grinch, who wants to sabotage Christmas. This third film adaptation (an
animation in 1966 and a live-action in 2000) comes from animation studio
Illumination (“Despicable Me”) and faithfully follows the book.
You would say that the film
doesn’t really add anything, because it’s practically the same. But I really
loved this animated version of “The Grinch”. It has a modern tone, which
slightly clashes with the original story at times, but that’s all. The classic
Christmas story remains irresistible, and the humor, design and voices are very
well-done. I think people should appreciate it more.
Rating: 4 / 5
