[@ajmolhussain7025]

The grinch being part of the military sounds laughably plausible

[@raisorblade]

So interesting fun fact: Dr. Seuss was overwhelmingly protective of his brand while he was alive. He was very hesitant to even allow Chuck Jones to make the famous short and only relented because they fought in WWII together and were good friends. In the end, though, he wasn't a fan of it. He felt like it went on too long and on top of that, he really hated "You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch" as he felt that people would associate The Grinch with being a terrible person rather than who he becomes at the end of the book, which he turned out to be right about lol. Needless to say, this adaptation(if not all of them) would make him roll in his grave.

[@ShadeNocturne]

Shit that dude was right, wtf XD mind you the song was badass so... guess it's perspective. But wow, it is a shame his wife began whoring out his brand. Even SHE was like "okay... no more live-action. That's gotta be it." ...then the Lorax happened. XD

[@LuckyPunkProd]

​@@ShadeNocturneTrue that. And yeah, there are far worse (insert other media)-to-film adaptations out there. Ron Howard's film is merely a candle flame as opposed to a raging inferno.

[@wattsink2009]

14:35 Interesting interpretation of this scene! 🤔 Personally, I always thought that this moment implied that the word “grinch” existed long before the birth of our main character, and was always used in reference to a person lacking in Christmas cheer. 🧐 Although, this theory also raises a lot of questions regarding why his parents gave him such a name with such a counterintuitive meaning to it. 🤨 The only explanation I can think of is that maybe the newborn Who’s names are not chosen by their parents, but by their creator (perhaps being inscribed on the baskets they were born in) and said creator foresaw the sort of life The Grinch would grow to lead, and named him accordingly. 🤔

[@arcadeousviveltov1193]

You know, as someone who DIDN’T grew up with any Stories by Dr.Seuss or the Grinch, I think I can say that this movie is like Home Alone. It’s Far from the worst, it’s far from being the best, sometimes good sometimes bad, but it is, wether we like it or not, a classic of sorts I mean, kinda hard to not remember at least parts of both if one watched them. Other than that, I believe that it's important to say - I watched movies from my country that have equivalent of 7+ rating, despite actually having stuff that would make it at least 16+ (b00bs), so I guess I'm like the Grinch in comment section. Except I don't steal Christmas, I steal a flare

[@alexpaulk2819]

This and Arthur Christmas are the two Christmas movies I must watch every single year. This is so a unique masterpiece and I love it so much.

[@wattsink2009]

20:47 Yeah, that moment was a bit much for me too. 🤨 But strangely, I didn’t see most of the vulgar humor in this movie as disrespectful to the original story. This really gave me pause for thought recently, because I normally have a very low tolerance for vulgarity inserted into something originally intended for children. But after puzzling till my puzzler was sore, I realized that the reason why the vulgar humor didn’t bother me in this movie is because it only comes from the Grinch himself, who (even in his previous incarnations) was always a vulgar character. Dr Seuss himself wrote that famous song describing how vulgar and disgusting his creation was. 👍 Whereas the Mike Myers Cat in the Hat, not only goes WAY TOO FAR with the vulgar humor (even by Grinch standards), but it’s produced by a character that was never meant to be vulgar, is ill-suited for it, and the vulgarity has no purpose whatsoever in his story! 🤮

[@gracekim1998]

18:14 I agree! 👍 I like how this change to the Whos not only make a very relevant statement about how people IRL indulge far too much around the holidays, but it also shows that the turn of events that follows was beneficial and, dare I say, necessary, for the Whos just as much as it was for the Grinch. 🧐 That was always my problem with the original story, as written. If the toys and the feasting are so disruptive that it’s bothering the Grinch from several miles away, there’s a problem that’s not being addressed! 🤨

I have special memories of this films poster scaring me as a child but I still try to watch every year around christmas time because of how infectiously funny Jim Carrey's performance as the furry green grump known as The Grinch is. I like this one and the boris karloff Chuck Jones cartoon from the 1960 sure they both are different tone-wise but the message is still strong and the book is a whole other level of an author using his creative powers to analyse a holiday he didn't find much of an appeal to really interesting stuff. sorry this comment is so long but this was a great defense of this film Shade great video happy new year and all the best :) 👍

The Grinch definitely falls in the early 2000s category, where their reputations of being bad, overshadows the actual movies. The Grinch, Catwoman, Cat In The Hat, and the live action Scooby-Doo films fall under this category, since you hear how bad they are, instead of about the actual movies themselves.

[@ShadeNocturne]

Yeah. Imperfect (even bad) movies get reputations that make people ashamed to enjoy them! I review movies but refuse to ever judge somebody else (legitimately, I might make a joke) for what they enjoy 😊 it's just bad optics to spend your time telling others what is good or bad, like some critics. Probabaly including myself if people don't know me/read my comments which is understandable :3 Basically I agree. I like the Scooby Doo movie, and someday might make a defense of that one, cause yes it ain't perfect but... come on, ith time if people don't respect Jr's legacy that's on them XD

@@ShadeNocturne I agree with your take man and I don't have a problem with others not liking something, but I do have a problem when the hate is unnecessarily overblown.

This was a fairly well done and entertaining analysis. I have huge nostalgia for this film, I was 5 when it came out and I remember seeing it in the theater. I also remember staying with my mom during the credits as the theme song “Where Are You Christmas” by Faith Hill played (still one of my favorite Christmas songs). Looking back, yeah it has its flaws but the actors do quite a good job especially Jim Carrey (one of my favorite roles of his) and Taylor Momson who really did a great job as Cindy. I still have this film on VHS as well.

[@Pipkiablo]

This is unironically my favorite Christmas movie because it was our family tradition to watch it every year on Christmas Eve at my grandparents' annual Christmas Eve party. Why? Because it was the only Christmas movie my grandma had on VHS. Also I noticed that whether or not you love or absolutely loathe this movie frequently hinges on whether or not you were a kid when it came out. The kids who watched it when it came out loved it and grew up to be adults that still love it because as kids, we typically didn't compare and scrutinize movies and could like both versions. People who were already adults at the time are the ones typically responsible for its reputation and overly negative reception because they grew up with the classic film and held it to that standard.

I am somehow both unsurprised and shocked to my core that there's a Grinch porno out there... *shudders* And yes, it makes total sense for this story to be narrated by Anthony Hopkins. The original was narrated by Frankenstein's monster, so why not continue that trend with a MODERN monster? If he was still alive at the time, the Illuminaiton movie should've been narrated by Christopher Lee. lol I too love how all the Whos down in Whoville are embracing the worst aspects of the holiday. The movie's holding up a mirror to the audience and saying "Hey... This is you. Stop being a tool and remember what Christmas is SUPPOSED to be about." "JESUS CHRIST, GRINCH!! I'm pretty sure that counts as attempted murder, dude!!" ...Yeah, and? Merry Belated Christmas, and Happy New Year, Dragon Man!

Then when I was 5, my sister rented the Jim Carry version from the video store, and 5 year old me looked at that DVD cover and was like "That's not the Grinch.", and was tramatized by the scene of Cindy getting yeeted into the mail shoot so I avoided the film for years despite my sister dick riding this adaptation since the year 2000.

I thought Cat in the hat with Mike Myers is bad

[@ShadeNocturne]

Agreed. Worst adaptation if Suess' work. Although, admittedly, some of the memes are hysterically stupid and I laugh. But that doesn't make it good for sure, haha

Is the Jim Carry Grinch bad ...HELL NO! And it does have issues, but it's still a great popcorn movie! It's great to watch around Christmas with the family when there's nothing else on

[@Mo_Nilla_Co]

I like this version more than the original animated one, I'm so fr rn.

Really? Wow, haha, and I thought MY take was hot! Haha Well, I'm glad I'm not alone in not disliking this version! Also, howdy Mo~ Lol Hope you have an amazing 2024

@@ShadeNocturne Hi Shade~ Hope you enjoy your 2024 too, especially with the Chinese New Year animal being the dragon this year! 🐲🐉 I watched it with a couple of buds in Discord this Christmas and they too find the animated version boring and enjoy the live action. I think it gets better with age and so so funny. I fear we'll never see Christmas peak like it. 😔

[@grapeshot]

To me Jim Carrey's performance overshadowed the Grinch. I know he was supposed to be the Grinch but I just couldn't help but see Jim Carrey even under all those pounds of makeup and prosthetics.

[@loser2466]

Recently I watched this movie again on VHS and I think it's ok but an inferior adaptation of Dr. Suess' book. I prefer the Chuck Jones version honestly. But I did get to visit the set where they filmed this movie back in June 6, 2019 at Universal Studios Hollywood and you can see the set in the video I recorded but I got to fix the SD card I captured it on since it's unreadable and unrecognized by the devices I normally use it on.

[@ShadeNocturne]

Oh nostalgia~ I had it on VHS when I was a kid, and really enjoyed it! Of course, the OG will always be the epitome of Christmas 🎄 The movie ain't perfect, for sure! But much like fans of those older X-men movies, or star wars prequel defenders... once we see what low effort, terrible effects, bad writers and executive meddling TRULY looks like? [Cough, *illumination*, cough] i go "perhaps I treated you too harshly" just like the meme. But fr tho, thank you for watching, and especially for your comment and opinion! It means so much to hear it ❤️ Oh, wow! You got to go to the set at Universal? GAH, I WANT TO SO BAD. Did you get to meet that really awesome Grinch actor? Or was he not around, then? I know that they reply do a good job with that around Christmas, tho idk about June. Must be weird being warm when you're in Whoville, lol

[@loser2466]

@@ShadeNocturne Well I don't recall anybody being on the Grinch set it was pretty much empty it was part of the tour, but I do remember the tour guide was talking about it and all mentioning how Jim Carrey was there filming the movie back in 1999 of course, it was just empty of course then after that we moved on to the Psycho set with the Bates Motel and the house of course the 1960 version by Alfred Hitchcock but in the video you can see the Grinch set in the background. It was interesting at the time I hadn't really properly seen the Jim Carrey Grinch movie quite yet. But yeah it was fun tho I was 17 then when I went there now 22, it was hot as hell that day when I recorded those video over at Universal City, CA. Warner Bros. (Before the horrible Discovery merger) was of course near by and you can see it by the parking lots of the park, I still got the first videos I recorded as well as some photos too lol. Sorry I've been rambling nonsense but it was fun so yeah it's true I've got the proof I was there. It was cold that night.

[@madzman7214]

It was more among the lines of comparing to the original the half hour special is perfect but the live action isn't awful just different definitely better than the CGI grinch

[@Buglin_Burger7878]

This movie, imo, didn't have the twist needed. I feel if when the presents were about to go over the cliff and Grinch starts to pull them up an Who shows up and pushes them over. Have it be a twist where the true Grinch can be anywhere. Have it so this Who is the one who did everything anti-Grinch so they could destroy Christmas using Grinch as a scapegoat. Make Grinch into being a hero, the first person to stand up and confronts the liar in front of the town and have him admit he was going to destroy the presents but hesitated and seeing this bad Who made him realize where he belongs, and have the Whos realize the value in Christmas isn't the presents but to stand together. To support each other. This bad Who isn't redeemed to show not everyone can be saved. This gives us an extra act, lets us remove some padding, and provides a unique twist so there is reason to watch this. Now it isn't competing with the original and has a more modern message while still being able to say we spend too much on Christmas and forgot the meaning and we needed someone grumpy to help us realize that.

[@Alewolf01]

if I had the pick which movie put real fun and thought into it I'd say The Grinch. it's fun, entertaining, it's not as good as the OG but you can tell everything behind during the making was cared for in a sense.. Unlike cat and the hat which was just a sad cash grab and a horrible remake of Dr.Seuss cat in the hat.

[@Antiqueplanet]

Yo it's Jimmy, dude you herd about that Miami mall alien mayhem

[@JediOttselWaluigikid115]

I love this movie, watched it since I was little. Is it me or does the teenage blonde girl at the beginning look and remind anyone of either Taylor swift or Britney Spears?😂 now now shade let’s not call ourselves out to much now. - (11:43 - 11:50) LMFAO! 😂 shade their is a deleted scene shown on abc where the Grinch walks Cindy to sink with the tree and opens the cabinet, grabs a glass turns on the sink and fills up the glass and and they walk to where they were before.

[@gojirafan0577]

Fun fact: the wife of dr Seuss Audrey Geisel hated both this film and the live action cat in the hat so much that she banned Hollywood from ever making anymore live action films based on her husbands works

[@ShadeNocturne]

Right? I mean, God damn! Imagine being the Cat in the Hat director: The previous film broke records AND has a cult following, but still pissed off Suess' wife. You then get handed Mike Meyers and this design for the cat, read the script, and realize you're gonna be the one who pisses her off for the last time. XD Jesus haha

[@jeremyallen5974]

Thank GOD. I don't think I would have survived the live action adaptations of Green Eggs and Ham and Red Fish, Blue Fish

[@gojirafan0577]

Yeah I think the dr Seuss stories are better adapted in animation (for the most part) with the films Horton hears a who and the show green eggs and ham or even with puppetry with the show the wubbulous world of dr Seuss

[@wattsink2009]

I also call BS to that claim that this is the second worst Dr Seuss movie adaptation! 🧐 If anything, I would argue that it’s the second best (after Horton Hears A Who, which also starred Jim Carey)! The Lorax bastardized the message of its original book far worse than this, and the other Grinch movie completely watered down the title character and made the whos only slightly less awful than they were in this movie, yet treats them like they are entirely blameless for what the Grinch does! 😤

[@ShadeNocturne]

I KNOW, I found a few articles and redditors who seemed to think "ob it's one of the worst!" Like WHAT? Are watching the same movies?!

[@wattsink2009]

[@MikeFireheart]

I don't think this movie was ever that bad, because it does keep the spirit of the original, but it does it through a cynical take on the story. Yes it's not a simple story like the original of whos good and Grinch bad, however it makes both parties clouded by their own views. It modernizes the story and shows the story through a more extreme lense, which fits for our modern world.

[@ShadeNocturne]

Indeed! It was creative and decided to hold up a mirror and told its audience to shape up and learn the lesson the Whos had to, and people didn't like it. Color me shocked XD I liked the change. I agree it works as a unique take that reflects our modern consumerism. It works for an extra layer to a feature-length Grinch movie, for sure!
