How The Grinch Stole Christmas

DIRECTED BY: Chuck Jones

REVIEWED: 12-29-97

In a bit stolen years later for Nightmare Before Christmas, the Grinch bum rushes Santa's show and takes over the fat guy's nighttime rounds. The Grinch isn't exactly terrifying (plus he has that change of heart at the end); still, watching the red-suited meanie steal Christmas trees and candy canes from every Who down in Whoville can be pretty upsetting to a young tyke. I still get a little twinge every time I see the Grinch fetch little Cindy Loo Who a glass of water, hustle her off to bed and then mercilessly ram her Christmas tree up the chimney.
