For a new series, I'd thought I'd look at some of my favorite Christmas movies due to the holiday season.
For today's fix, I thought I should start with How The Grinch Stole Christmas from 1966. Noticing something here? I'm doing this one in rhyme because Dr. Seuss' rhyming style is held very dear. Based on the book of the same name, this TV special didn't get at first that much fame. Reviews initially were just okay and it didn't make people yell Hooray! However, this special did make people smile overtime, after candy costed less than a dime.
The story is about The Grinch who hated Christmas with a passion. His plan was to steal the Who's trees, presents, and their food ration. He thought Christmas would stop, but after realizing what Christmas meant, his plan was a flop. He ultimately gives back what he stole, and finally felt whole.
The story isn't deep, but it has no reason to be steep. This telling of The Grinch is better than the one from 2000 which is quite odd. That film is very flawed.
Universal is trying again in 2018. We'll have to see if it can surpass this version when it hits the big screen. For now, though, we have this great movie. This version is very groovy.
This was hard to make sure it kept rhyming. I'll stop for now.
