How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
AnimationComedyFamilyFantasyMusical26 min
High above Whoville, the Grinch can't stand the town's Christmas cheer and decides to stop it the simplest way he can imagine: disguised as Santa, with his dog pressed into service as a reindeer, he heads down from his mountain hideaway to steal every present, decoration, and feast in sight. Boris Karloff is the Grinch, a snarling green outsider moving through curling snow, crooked rooftops, and all the holiday bustle he despises. Chuck Jones directs the 1966 adaptation with clean, expressive animation and a sly sense of mischief.
