What about this guy? It was only 2000. Its not long enough. It was a success, but why not wait another 17 years? I love The Grinch (2000),but really?

A remake or another story? Could be either.

How is the 2000 movie? I never saw it since it came out when I was in 7th grade and I was "too old" to watch a kids movie :lol: I never cared to watch it later either since I didn't think a short story could be expanded into a movie.

The last one was a pile of baby vomit & this one will be too.

[TigerClaw]

That's interesting, there was already a movie with Jim Carey, why do it again?

[Cure]

I once heard someone say it was cute when a baby vomited on her.

[TurtleTitan97]

I just hope it's at least as good as Horton Hears a Who.

[sdp]

I remember people saying it was bad back in the day but in recent years I've heard people call it a Christmas classic which is why I asked. I might end up watching it though, Jingle All The Way gets hated a lot but I absolutely love it, favorite X-Mas movie to me.

[NinjaPug]

Do people not realize this is animated and not another live action version?

I was in 8th and was not too old to see it. The next year I saw it in my 9th grade English class.:P

[Wildcat]

Cool. I love the Grinch.

The live action movie was pretty good. I can understand if some don't like it but it was fun. I have video game which was decent imo.

The cartoon version will always be my favorite.

If I can get past the excessive goofiness that lies within the live-action movie version (since I do take a liking towards the make-up and prosthetic work that went onto Carrey for him to be The Grinch), then I might actually learn to like the movie.

No promises though.:P

[Shiro Kame]

*Sigh*...This movie's gonna be a piece of s*** just like the past 2000-era Seuss movie, isn't it?

[Jephael]

Be kinda cool if they did it like a CGI special, blending the style of the characters from the original source material with the plot of the live action Jim Carrey version.

[drgon78]

I am interested though I have did hear a while back that the studio that did Despicable Me was doing a Grinch animated movie. Though I would really like to know whatever happened to there Emily the Strange animated movie.

[plastroncafe]

If they keep the movie to the book, and don't try to add in weird family life backstory crap, this could be good.

That's what ruined the live action one, the oddball backstory filler.

[Hero]

Can envision Benedict in Whoville. He'll probably be mo-capped Polar Express style.

[Shark_Blade]

Just need a little explosions and hot babes, then BAM! Instant box office.

And no, Michael Bay does not need to direct The Grinch.

There's going to be a resurgence in the Oncler Phenomenon again...I feel it in my bones.

[RaphaelinSTL]

God that design is boring.

[sdp]

I finally watched How The Grinch Stole Christmas live action movie, in general I liked it alright (https://miscrave.com/articles/dr-seuss-live-action-movies/). If I were a kid I would've liked it more, I can see why some people like it and some hate it.

I think this movie will get a lot more hate than it deserves, I'm guessing it'll be similar to the Lorax which I didn't watch. I'm not a fan at all of the Dispicable Me movies though.

I hope it's good for the sake that they're making the Mario movie and I don't want them to just make a by the numbers movie.

I have no issues with this design, from what i read, the movie will show the Grinch as a kid at first.

I’m actually hyped for this movie. It looks so beautiful, an upgrade from the last two movies. :tlove: And more Benedict Cumberbatch is a plus.

[ranger_scout]

Right now the film is tracking for a solid $50 million opening.

I saw it last night and I thought it was a colorful and harmless little movie for families. There wasn't anything really new added to the story, but I did enjoy it more than the Jim Carey version. The voice performances from Benedict Cumberbatch and Rashida Jones were also very good. Having Angela Lansbury doing the voice of the Mayor of Whoville was also a nice little plus. If there are any differences from the source material that come to the top of my head:

The Grinch's backstory didn't involve bullying like the live-action film. He just spent every day, especially Christmas, alone in an orphanage. His isolation is what made him act the way he does. Also, even before he steals Christmas there are some moments where he shows that he genuinely cares about Max. Also, Cindy Lou Who spends most of the film trying to trap Santa, so she tell him what she really wants for Christmas.
