This all-time classic now has Horton Hears a Who! on the same video for a great double bill.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
To heck with the kids--this is one of the best holiday presents you can give yourself. Adapted from the children's book by Dr. Seuss, this charming story is one to watch every holiday season. It is just edgy enough to help you forget the more cloying aspects of Christmas, yet it is also sweet enough to remind you of the reason for all that holiday cheer. Animation genius Chuck Jones directed this 1966 television production featuring the voice of Boris Karloff as the mean greenie. Bitter and selfish, the Grinch decides to steal Christmas away from the Whos, the sweet little folk who live at the bottom of his mountain home. When little Cindy Loo Who returns his hateful act with kindness, she melts the old miser's heart. There are many reasons to watch this: inventive wordplay, Karloff's impressive narration, and a very memorable soundtrack. --Rochelle O'Gorman
Horton Hears a Who!
Chuck Jones was chief animator on this lively adaptation of the famous book by Dr. Seuss. The story of a friendly elephant named Horton who discovers--deep inside a daisy--a tiny city called Whoville with tiny, intelligent residents--this film (fleshed out a bit from the source) is strong on character and has striking, appealing visuals. The little folks of Whoville, with their natural air of aristocracy, are a kick, and when they come to see Horton as a hero for his democratic view of all life big and small, the effect is quite touching. This should be a real treat for kids already familiar with the book, and just might inspire those who haven't read it to pick it up. --Tom Keogh
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Very good film
When I was a child, I watched this film for the first time on TV. Now, I'm so glad in having this product on DVD and I watch it once and once again in Christmas time. There are new or modern versions for "The grinch" and also for "Horton" but I prefere these ancient films because they were the first and touched my heart.
Rating: - Still great after all these years
Some reviews talk about the color of the grinch. In the 50th Birthday Edition (2006) he is green not yellow. I love this film and I have been replacing all my VHS copies with DVDs. It had been several years since I'd seen the grinch. So, I torn open the package and popped it in and laughed like I'd never seen it. I love the remake with Jim Carrey, but nothing beats the original!
Rating: - Which version of Horton Hears a Who?
I'm looking for the original (60's or 70's) television version of Horton Hears a Who that have the songs and chants like "Boil that dustpeck..."
Is that the version of Horton that is on this?
Rating: - My Granddaughter loved it!
I got this for my granddaughter and she loves it! she is a big Grinch Fan.
I would reccommend it for any viewing age.
Rating: - Grinch Stole Christmas DVD
What can I say, everyone knows it's a classic and the reproduction quality of this remastered edition is worth buying even if you have the original.
