Every year I find the animation to be even more brilliant, and every year I laugh uncontrollably at everything with the dog.

I'd say this is Chuck Jones' crowning achievement, but we all know that What's Opera, Doc? is the greatest cartoon ever made.

One of my favorite Christmas films (and stories) of all time. As a child I loved Dr. Seuss' books and loving Christmas as well this was always a favorite.

It's curious as to whether or not my love of this story turned me into a grumpy hermit as an adult?

The use of Boris Karloff's voice to bring the Grinch to life in animation was such a perfect choice, (to narrate the story as well).

I have never seen Ron Howard's version of The Grinch, I plan to watch it this year. I am not sure how I am going to feel about it being such a fan of this version and the story, I will try ever so hard not to go in with the certainty of a fool who thinks she knows everything.

The only film out there that makes my cynical black heart grow two sizes bigger.

Often during the Christmas season, you'll hear about how certain Christmas classics only get played because of nostalgia. And for some Christmas programming, that is true. But 1966's How the Grinch Stole Christmas! is definitely not one of those.

First off, the animation is excellent. Boris Karloff's narration and voice acting is just great.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas! is probably the epitome of the phrase "Christmas classic" and something that can be watched year after year with the same amount of enjoyment.

I seem to watch this every Christmas and every year I love it. Fantastic adaptation.

A quintessential Christmas classic. Admittedly, I watch this movie whenever I damn well please.

Perfectly narrated by Boris Karloff, it is definitely one of the best Christmas specials ever made.
In its shorter running time it achieves more of an emotional climax than the Jim Carrey live action one. So you’re surely better off watching this instead.
The hand-drawn animation is charmingly crude and suits Dr. Seuss’ adaptations a lot more than computer animation or live action.

πόσο με τρόμαζε τούτο δωω..

Undeniably a Christmas classic. The Grinch is a fun movie with a good, even if often over played message. The highlight for myself is the stellar voice work from Karloff.

Oh, that Grinch. That nasty, wasty skunk. My heart grows three sizes every time I watch this.

A holiday classic that I can't go without! I feel sorry for the Grinch's poor dog, Max.

i didn't realize how short this was, but that's cool, apparently i've seen it a ton. and Boris Karloff?
