The best-selling, perennial holiday classic, How the Grinch Stole Christmas!: The Ultimate Edition got even better with the addition of two Grinch specials, which are available in high definition for the first time ever! Based on the beloved book by Dr. Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas! is one of Dr. Seuss’ finest works for children. The story was originally adapted to television as an animated TV special and was highly praised by audiences. It has been re-broadcast numerous times since its debut, with annual airings continuing to the present day.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas!: The Ultimate Edition includes:
How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
Magnificently narrated by Boris Karloff (Frankenstein, The Mummy) and directed by animation genius and cartoon legend Chuck Jones (Looney Tunes, What’s Opera, Doc?), How the Grinch Stole Christmas! tells the story of the miserable Grinch, who wants to sabotage Christmas for all the Whos in Who-ville.
The Grinch thinks that by stealing the Whos Christmas trees and presents, he’ll succeed in stealing their joy. When Christmas morning arrives, the Grinch is taken by surprise when he notices the Whos greet the day joyously singing Christmas carols. They’re singing regardless of the fact that their village has been completely stripped of holiday gifts, decorations and treats. The cheerful attitude of the Whos prompts the Grinch to ponder the true meaning of Christmas. He slowly comes to realize the spirit of the season is not generated by material possessions. Will the Grinch have a change of heart and consider returning the Whos’ Christmas gifts?
The Grinch Grinches The Cat in the Hat
The Grinch is up to his old tricks again in The Grinch Grinches the Cat in the Hat.
In this special, the Cat in the Hat encounters the Grinch while picnicking one day. He refers to the Grinch as Mr. Greenface, which the Grinch takes an as insult, prompting him to retaliate by building a series of outrageous devices designed to cause all sorts of disruption. First, he creates a “Vacusound Sweeper,” which distorts any and all of the sounds within a 50-mile radius of the Cat in the Hat.
Then he creates the “Dark House,” which is the direct opposite of a lighthouse. This puts the Cat in the Hat into complete darkness. He then uses the “Flummox Deluxe” to further warp the Cat in the Hat’s surroundings, which sends him and everything around him into complete chaos. Will the Cat in the Hat figure out a way to stop the Grinch and outsmart all his crazy devices?
Halloween is Grinch Night
When the Sour-Sweet wind starts to blow in Who-ville, all the Whos take cover. The wind signifies the beginning of Grinch Night, an evening where the Grinch descends upon Who-ville to terrorize all its citizens. As the Grinch sets out on his journey to Who-ville, he encounters a courageous young Who named Euchariah. Euchariah attempts to stall the Grinch from reaching Who-ville. The Grinch however puts Euchariah into a trance in which he encounters all sorts of strange creatures who try to intimidate him. Will Euchariah manage to snap out of the trance in time to stop Grinch from reaching Who-ville?
My Review
I love Dr. Seuss, and the Grinch! How the Grinch Stole Christmas has been one of my favorite Christmas specials for as long as it has been airing. Can you believe I had not heard of these other two Grinch specials until this Ultimate Edition was introduced to me? How many of you have seen these? If you haven’t, now is your chance! These specials are filled with all of the creativity of Dr. Seuss, and your family will love them.

Such an incredible movie.
I like Disney movies for my three year old grandson and a Sony boom box speaker.
