Why The Grinch (2000) Is The Best Christmas Movie

The Grinch says all of his things came to him in the Whos' garbage - especially their old Christmas gifts. That implies that Max the dog also came to him in the garbage, and was probably someone's unwanted gift...but the Grinch adopted him, which proves that he isn't a bad guy.

There actually a book from my childhood that tells us how max and the grinch meet. So basically max just wandered to the grinch front door and the grinch had a flee but noticed when max was around his itch went away so he decided to keep him. So the garbage theory is probably right.

I always identified with this version of the Grinch, his story and character. The Whos are terrible people. Jim Carrey went all out, he really cared and it shows. To be in so much pain discomfort and still give that performance. Nowadays it'd probably be done with CGI but imo they really did a great job allowing for all of his expressions to shine through. The thing I didn't like is the design of the Whos, they honestly make it harder to watch having to look at them. At least they didn't put Taylor through those prosthetics.

Wow, I never thought about the fact that everyone buys gifts and the Grinch is the only one who made one and honestly ANYTHING.

I absolutely LOVE this movie, I watch it all year round just for Jim's performance. I've also made the same comparison between this and Cat in the Hat, it's less about being faithful to the source material and more just a skit show based loosely on the characters which in my opinion is what makes them so good, you've already got a simple, well known narrative now just jam as much goofy shit in as possible. Jim and Mike were also perfect fits for this kind of slapstick teetering on stoner comedy, they've got that Nick Cage thing where the more they ham it up the better it is

[@william3100]

Sorry but that is bullshit. There is not one part of this that says it's a skit show.

I wouldn't say they improved the grinch as a character. They pretty much just offered an alternative take for him. A person who hates something because they've never experienced it properly is about as realistic as a person who hates something because they associate it with trauma.

[@CatholicPiccolo]

I definitely agree. The Grinch in the book was the wrong one as he associated the holiday with materialism and felt like the Who's only celebrated for surface level reasons. Once he stole Christmas he expected the hear the cries of being proven right. However, the Who's celebrated the holiday anyways. They knew there was more to Christmas then just gifts and toys. They understood the true meaning of Christmas and as such the Grinch no longer hated them. His heart grew three sizes as he can now finally appreciate the Who's. Compare this to the movie where time and time again, the Grinch gets proven right and instead of just being a redemption for the Grinch, it's a redemption for the entire town as they now have to learn the true meaning of Christmas. I'd say this take definitely works better for a full length film as the focus isn't just on a single person but an entire town.

[@HelloXrancidkitteh]

I actually just finished watching the movie when I noticed you did a video on it. I didn't know Jim had gone through all that THAT bad.

Kudos to the director for trying the Grinch costume even just for a day to understand. shows he truly cared about the people working on the movie with him. also, I literally just now, this year, realized it was a Swingers party once I noticed the bowl full of keys. it reminded me of this episode of That 70's Show, where I first learned about it. also, I think its awesome Taylor grew up to front a hard rock band.

(pride in this isn't portrayed in good way but in meaning of Seven deadly sins like meaning of pride) "You can spot prideful peaople by their proud nose." that means these people always look down on people and it's shown when they points their head slightly to sky and their nose it pointing that way "above" these people.

Dang, this video really changed my outlook on the film. I always thought that it was a bit corny or something, but with your input, I’ve gained a greater appreciation for it. Thx for making this👍

THURL RAVENSCROFT DID THE VOCALS FOR THE ORIGINAL YOU MONSTER!!!!!!! HE WENT UNCREDITED DONT YOU DO HIM LIKE THAT!!!!!

[@karnivorevolpe5344]

Saw someone make a similar comment, but to go into more depth, it took 8 1/2 hours to get him in and out of full costume and makeup, weighing almost as much as him; that’s already 16hr days not including performance and rehearsal times. He underwent CIA TORTURE ENDURANCE training to see this movie thru. That’s reason enough this movie needs to be cemented as one of the greatest grinch adaptations & Christmas movies in general. Doesn’t hurt Carrey was born to play this kind of part, but knowing the literal TORTURE he endured to bring this to us, you better appreciate the shit out this movie. 👏💀

15:18 also another thing about the grinch having a dog. Is as most Dog owners know, u have to be very selfless when taking care of a dog and u have to put the dog over urself sometimes. Which shows that even tho the grinch tries to be mean and secluded he still takes care of max

[@theastrophotographerjudah9421]

Jim Carrey did a good job in this movie, but I still think his best was The Riddler in Batman Forever

[@libRteedude]

So glad this movie is getting appreciation as a genuinely good movie, not just for nostalgia. The motivation for the Grinch always made sense to me as a kid and I liked how the Whos had to learn a lesson as well instead of just being completely unfazed about the Grinch's theft in the original book and animated special. I also think Jim Carrey's hammy performance makes perfect sense: he's a dude who's been stuck on a mountain for years and is going nuts from the isolation and hatred in his soul. I never got the critics who said "HIS PERFORMANCE NEEDS TO BE REIGNED IN!!!!"; did they think someone in that situation would be calm and collected?

[@ambored24]

I love that you included the clip of when Cindy Lou takes his hand at the end and he looks down at her so wholesomely. Makes me laugh every time because it reminds me of myself when my 3 year old grabs my hand to lead me somewhere 😂

[@nervigeskind3131]

As a kid I always thought Jim Carrey was the director because I couldn’t recognize him through the makeup. This movie was a big part of my childhood. Th most influential one is the Goonies

[@Jojo7896]

Honestly, about the mail room scene, I've always wondered how did Lou not even hear his daughter screaming when that happened? He's just like "You've been practicing your Christmas wrapping." Like dude, did you not hear her yelling?

[@ChrisMolyneaux93]

Something that a lot of people don't know is that while, yes, Boris Karloff narrates the Grinch and voices him, he does NOT sing "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch". It's actually sung by Tony the Tiger's voice actor, Thurl Ravenscroft.

I would just like to say you are by far one of my favorite youtubers. Your choices of movies and the way you actually do research on them and break them down is remarkable. I always have a great time watching your videos. From all that you seem like an intelligent guy with a good heart. Hope you're doing well, Pig!

[@CinfulArts]

I kinda have to agree this Grinch is superior. Of course the og animated short will forever be iconic, but everything felt more fleshed out in this version, especially the Grinch. In the original, he seemed like he was just written as “Oh he hates Christmas, moving on” but in the live action he has soooo much more personality (it also helps that it was Jim Carrey playing him) and even Cindy felt more fleshed out as a character. The animated one tried to imply she had a major life changing role only for her to have one line of dialogue, but the live action made her one of the main characters and actually motivated the Grinch to lift the sleigh as it was falling

[@william3100]

You people will never understand why this movie is bad and why the original is superior. The grinch being the bad guy in the original was the point! This movie just takes all of that and turns it into a generic bad guy is secretly good, society and people are bad message. Cindy didn't need to be any more major than see was in the book. It was a short story! She didn't need to be anything more major! Plus, the Cindy in this movie was pretty generic and boring in my opinion. We can't just have her be an innocent child who just loves Christmas, it has to be the generic independent, voice of reason, child character. The who's being the real bad people in this movie is also bad. It is against what the book is, it is very derivative, and it DOES try to act like it is being faithful to the source material, while actively going against it. This is a bad movie.

[@josiecraig6665]

I have no clue why I love this man explaining movies and rating them. Like I've seen all the movies but I have to watch him explain them to me for me to actually enjoy them.

[@maem7462]

If I had a nickel for every time a green character in a movie pushed away others by scaring him bc he thinks no one likes him I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice. (If ur wondering who I am talking abt of course the Grinch is one and Shrek is the other)

Finally, someone else who appreciates this cinematic masterpiece for its anti-commercialist message.

Jim Carrey makes a very good real life cartoon character

“jury duty, jury duty, jury duty, blackmail, eviction notice, pink slip, jury duty” this has lived rent free in my head since i was 6. i am 18 😂

[@Issei_Midoriya]

Fun Fact: in an extended version of the Grinch, the lights contest happens and it says on the card that Cindy's mother won but he decides instead that Martha May won being a complete liar and I actually love that scene because it shows how shallow the Mayor is that he would lie about who won the lights contest just so he could get with Martha May

[@trinaq]

Happy Christmas, everyone! I was always impressed by Carrey's performance in this movie, and the Grinch makeup must have been a chore to wear, yet he wore it like a professional!

[@skaisathedutchie7003]

One of the only main problems I have with this movie is how desaturated and polluted it looks, if they took out some of the smoke and upped the saturation it would be so much easier to look at. It’s not that big of a deal but still

[@firehedgehog1446]

Thinking about it, I think that helps sell just how bad the Whos are

[@candiigurl7893]

I remember when my aunt took my sister and I, along with some other kids, to see this film in theaters that december it was released. We got some popcorn and a brown paper bag that was filled with candy. I sat in the theater and loved every second of the movie and have ever since. Like Toy Story, it got better with every watch as I got older, catching the adult jokes. You can't go one Christmas without watching this film. It's timeless. 👌 🎅🎄❄🦌

[@Scarshadow666]

As a kid and preteen in the early'00s, I swear there was a ton of media that parodied ultra consumerism/materialism. Such as in the OG Powerpuff Girls with Morebuck's character and with the entire world/universe-building of Invader Zim.

[@Lanxes727]

I literally watched this yesterday, and i loved it I also wanna say as a younger kid I noticed all the bad the who's were doing tbh and was so mad when cindy loo's father was proud of her practicing her wrapping, like i actually wanted to fight him

I remember watching this when I was little and just being like “Everyone fears and hates the grinch because he doesn’t like people as if they didn’t bully him for being hairy and green” and now that I’m 16 I still think the same thing except he’s just a crazy dude isolated from the world with a dog and he just doesn’t like people and let’s be real here most of us are like this especially me considering I’m a biracial chick and was constantly being made fun of for being black and white so I relate to the grinch when it comes to being made fun of for the way I look. And I also keep myself isolated and mostly just hang out with my dogs and I’m also a mentally ill weirdo. SHIT AM I GRINCH KINNIE 😭
