December took a while this year but hey here we are🎉🎉🤯🤯🎄
Channel Awesome Review Anime like My Hero Academia
In Jim Carrey version, he at least acts like a Grinch, when in this one he acts like a bad neighbor.
More accurately, a harmlessly annoying neighbor
I really wouldn’t mind if they had done something creative with it. When I was watching the movie for the first time and they showed the orphanage scene, I thought that the movie’s twist was going to be that being seen as a grinch was just a stereotype that the Whos forced upon him so that they didn’t have to deal with economic inequality ruining their holiday. I think that this would have at least been an interesting and controversial message. It would have had implications for the way we celebrate Christmas today too. Obviously, that wasn’t the message, though. As is, the backstory was really confusing.
I forget who pointed it out, but a common complaint was that unlike the other versions, this one is........kinder. Like this one has no bite to it. He's cynical, but not mean.
I honestly enjoyed the Jim Carrey one. Its no masterpiece but in my household its a little bit of a classic. The energetic acting really steals the show and some of jokes land really well.
Jim is always fun to watch when he's going wild. Something about it just appeals to me, I'd call it a guilty pleasure but I don't feel guilty about enjoying it.
MatthewForest its kinda so bad its good. Jim Carry’s insane acting, the amazing makeup they did with him, the parody of over-commercializing the holidays, and while everyone is a dick, you can at least tell them apart. This is bland garbage
Jim Carry’s grinch: has teeth like the Dr. Seuss version.
This grinch: has Colgate commercial teeth.
Haha the original song mentions his teeth like 3 times. How can they mess it up 😂 nothing about this Grinch seems to fit how evil and nasty the song portrays him.
Not only that, but I just realized this Grinch movie is basically Despicable Me cosplaying as the Grinch. No really! Think about it.
They totally missed the mark.
The Grinch is a hermit that holds a grudge and a huge chip on his shoulder.
Not just a sociopath who has a introversion to others.
Reminds me of what they did to Hellraiser
Maybe the person that sings the song is that 1 dentist that hates Colgate
"They're treated like cartoons, not animated films" is the single best critique of these types of movies I've ever seen. Its good to respectfully treat them as separate things
@@olleselin Characters in The Prince of Egypt. That’s a good example
@@andresacosta7885 ok
But...
But...
But...
But animated movies...
Are cartoons?
@@wesleythomas7125 No. there is a difference. Cartoons are just comedy with very little consistency cause the humor is the point. Animated films can have comedy but they’re usually more grounded, think Lion King vs Looney Tunes. Looney Tunes are off the wall zany with models that can stretch twist and mold however they like with comedy being the point. Lion King, however, are closer to real life. The characters can get hurt, if they die they die, if a limb gets broken it gets broken. But the point is to tell a more engaging story beyond just making someone laugh.
The only thing they share is that they’re animated. And its absolutely annoying that western society has that attitude.
@@wesleythomas7125 in the technical sense, yes. But the dumb kids films made by studios like Illumination, Sony animation, and Blue Sky (except for a rare few) are considerably different than the for-all-ages works of art that Disney, Pixar, Studio Ghibli, and Cartoon Saloon release. DreamWorks is split down the middle with half their films falling in one category and half in the other
"This film focuses on the wrong details while leaving out the most important ones"- sounds like The Lion King 2019 in a nutshell
Let's be honest: that's most remakes (especially those made by Disney) in a nutshell.
@@gageperuti5519 my thoughts exactly. you can throw all modern adaptations in that catagory too. come to think of it, most modern day writers don't seem to know what makes movies memorable or important in general.

I find it hilarious that he doesn't like Sailor Moon but still did this anyway.
‘60s version: Timeless and Classic.
Jim Carrey version: Unique, for better or worse.
2018 version: Terminator Salvation.
I agree with that with all the bad of the jim carrey version atleast it looked uniqe and not a dime a dozen identically animated film
Don't insult Terminator Salvation like that.
The jim carry version is my favorite
More like Terminator Genisys or dark fate
@@tykamen5588 Let's use a different series and bad memory:
Aliens: Colonial Marines.
"I already have the greatest gift I could ever get: burglary insurance. You are a close second."
Imagine Cindys mom telling her daughter this in a very loving tone.
Would definitely make this movie better, hands down.
Is it any different from the "hooray a boy" banners? Imagine being the older sister and seeing that
Step 1: Hire an actor with a distinctive voice.
Step 2: Have him do an american accent that makes him unrecognizable.
Step 3: No one likes it?
AT Productions oh. Well now I’m MORE confused
Is that you? The guy on PDF? I’m surprised to see you here
Cindy Lou is literally just Edith from dispicable me.
It even sounds like she has the same voice actor
I was today years old when I came to this realisation
And looks the same
Correction, she’s not entirely an Edith copycat, Cindy doesn’t even have Edith’s mischievous personality, for most of the movie, Cindy is a charming and sweet little girl who’s desperately worried for her mother and wants to make things better for her.
She is Edith gone Powder Puff.
The studio originally wanted Benedict Cumberbatch to voice the Grinch using his natural voice, but Benedict felt that, since the rest of the cast is American, the Grinch should have an American accent.
That stupid. The difference of the voices would of made this show would of been better.
Wait, are you serious?
Cumberbatch is a good actor, but if this is true, then it's clear that he DOES NOT understand the original source material AT ALL. The Grinch was supposed to have a deep intimidating voice. It would be a voice that would fit someone so mean like him. But with the voice Cumberbatch did, it just goes against who the character is and removes all the intimidation out of him. But then again the writers of this film did that as well so I shouldn't be shocked.
@@gamemediafan1714 I'm guessing he thought that his natural voice didn't fit the lines he was given.
@@NEETKitten you know what that's a good point. The character's already being written to not match the original at all so why bother trying to emulate the voice?
Which is interesting, because he can do an american accent with a lower tone, like in Doctor Strange.
This version of the Grinch just makes he seems like a guy who needs a hug, compared to the evil monster he was in the original.
The problem is that the grinch is actually nice
The grinch is supposed to be rude and someone you would not want to be around
He's like the joker, society pushed him to become a monster he never really wanted to be
Meh
@@cannedgoodness9633 Society pushed him to become a monster!? Not the best comparison considering the guy acts more like Gru from Despicable Me.
I think today's writers are less forgiving: they don't want to give an redemption arc to someone who has done legitimate bad things.
They apparently thought that the audience's soft little child brains could not handle the sort of super complicated, nuanced character arcs that they put in half-hour long cartoons in the 1950s.
This looks so painfully generic. Y'know at least the Carrey version was different and unique.
I was subjected to this by my family when we took the kids out for a fun movie day. Literally the only memorable part of this movie is the scene in the middle when he gets flashbacks to his childhood and even then it’s extremely out of place.
Yup
Well, too unique is better than not unique at all, well, not the nutcracker in 3D.
@@catscroissants6816 Nutcracker 3D was a great movie! You take that back! ):
@@genyakozlov1316 not really and that emoji doesn't really help your case. Anyway opinions.
I think the worst part is that this movie did even better than Jim Carrey's version at the box office despite not deserving it at all.
I Like the Jim Carry version, bite me.
but taking into account syndication Jim Carrey's probably made more than this one ever will.
Bear in mind ticket prices were cheaper in 2000 than they were in 2018.
It’s also the highest grossing Christmas movie
It deserved it beyond explanation.
The fact that they got an actor like Benedict Cumberbatch and did him dirty like this blows my mind.
With Illumination, any cinematic atrocity is possible.
It’s like he had no direction
Yeah but Cumberbatch was already a seasoned actor. So he would've had to know to study the source material 1st. Even if he did a distinct Grinch voice it would've made the character stand out more. Even if it was just a little bit. Honestly though; the movie should've gotten Tim Curry to do the voice.
Maybe Cumberbatch was VERY unenthusiastic about this performance and the director thought that this would make the Grich's annoyance at Whoovile more authentic?
He got paid. They could have done him worse.
The Mandalorian clip was gold
"You move like a buffoon...you're silly, I'm not hiring you"
But he has to cause if he doesn't that means....NO BABY YODA
Mr_No_One i want to see that version of the mandalorian

The jim Carey grinches backstory makes sense alot more, as a kid he was different, he just didnt see the big deal about christmas, but met his crush Martha and figured that christmas is the perfect time to give her something she would love for christmas, but he also felt self conscious of his looks so he tried shaving his face to look more appealing toward her, but instead got laughed and made fun of, thus losing the little sliver of christmas spirit he had
Exactly
Tell me that some kids wouldn't be somewhat traumatized by being laughed at and bullied on Christmas!
@@simple-commentator-not-rea7345 To the Grinch's degree: no. You would need a lot bigger trauma for that. But it might make them hate Christmas for ONE year...potentially, as you may forget all about it if your parents are supporting by the beginning of Winter Break from school.
Edit: some errors were in the text: not a bigger trauma is supposed to be need a bigger trauma, cor is a typo of for.
@@nightdrivenen7909 if his parents were supporting? my guy, he ran away from home into isolation.
@@gregorymirabella1423 Did I say HIS or YOUR? Literally look at my post talking about how it is in relevance to us and not the Grinch.
Maybe it’s just me, but the fact that they cast Benedict Cumberbatch but didn’t actually let him use his actual voice angers me way more than it probably should. I remember when they first released the poster for this movie and announced that Cumberbatch was voicing the Grinch, I actually had a spark of hope in the movie since I felt that was perfect casting. But no, they just got him to do the most generic ass voice u can think of. Don’t get me wrong, there are certain movies that he has been in that work without his deep British accent, such as the MCU movies, but it worked there because it helped make Doctor Strange a more relatable character than he was in the comics. It doesn’t work for the Grinch because he’s not supposed to be relatable. We’re supposed to think he’s mean. He’s supposed to be one of those characters that we love to hate so that it makes his redemption at the end all the more satisfying. Whether u love or hate the Jim Carey version, u can’t deny the fact that Jim Carrey nailed it when it came to the Grinch’s voice, personality, and movement. So personally, I’ll take the Jim Carrey version over this version any day of the week because for all the things that movie got wrong, the one thing that I believe it absolutely nailed was the character of the Grinch. Not sure if people will agree with me, but that’s how I feel.
@David Winehouse that doesn’t mean he’s not relatable. He could still joke around and seemed pretty cool especially before he got his powers
@David Winehouse what does his profession have to do with him being relatable or not? I’m talking about his personality, not his job
@David Winehouse wtf are u even talking about?
@David Winehouse Do you just jump to insulting anyone who disagrees with you, or is that just when you know you’re wrong?
@@kobypourciaux1066 Actually, the studio wanted him to use his natural voice, but Cumberbatch insisted on doing an American accent.
The Lorax: villain too evil
The Grinch: villain not evil enough
insert dr evil talking about his son clip
@@engeltjebaleno Don't mind if I do:
"You're quasi-evil.
You're semi-evil.
You're the margarine of evil.
You're the Diet Coke of evil.
Just 1 calorie, not evil enough."
@@gamewiz720 "you're the diet coke of evil"
Yup. The opposite of what made the original stories iconic
Lorax: Villain's evil has no real long-term consequences, villain's evil deferred onto sub-villain, audience excused from burden of recognizing selves in villain.
My favorite character from this movie was definitely brown door.
Brown Door?
NinjaBluefyre brown door?
Appendixless Loser brown door
Brown door.
Mmmmm brown door
To be fair to the 2018 version, the Grinch probably goes into Whoville a lot because he obviously can't get any food on the top of Mt. Krumpit and just tries to keep to himself, all the while doing petty things to inconvenience the Whos around him. Their diehard fanaticism for Christmas and harshness towards anyone who chooses not to celebrate is probably the reason why the Grinch hates Christmas, and isn't on good terms with the Whos.
I find it surprising that Benedict Cumberbatch's American accent is so subpar here, considering that he actually does one quite well as Dr. Strange in the MCU.
Who else could see Kenan Thompson actually say “We had to kill 20 Loraxs for this baby!”?
Critic's joke.
@@nickcopeland6915 He knows
I love how every time he revisits it, Doug begrudgingly finds himself saying something nice about the Jim Carrey Grinch film.
Yup
It's so oddly satisfying, it's like watching Rick being defeated by someone in an argument and him NOT having the last laugh
It sucks, sorry.
@@amybelton7647 I think Duck Man said it best. BLAND FLAVORLESS MUSH. That what most kid films in America are like now?????
I think at this point, since the Cat in the Hat review, this review and his editorial about method acting, I think Doug is slowly liking the Jim Carrey version more.
As somebody who has actually lived in an orphanage I find the 2018 backstory to be relatable. They celebrate Christmas but the gifts you get are randomly picked and don’t reflect your individual interests at all.
“Are they Who-ish?” is the best line in this whole video.
I always interpret the “please don’t ask why, we don’t know the reason” line as a Who telling the story, and being completely oblivious to what they did to the Grinch
Liv Drawz That works in the Jim Carrey movie because the Whos mocked and belittled the Grinch. But in this one, it’s not anyone’s fault, the Grinch just had a lonely childhood, and in the original the Grinch didn’t need a reason. He was just a grump, someone you enjoyed disliking, not a tragic character you were supposed to feel bad for.
Excuse me my good pal IS THAT CROWLEY AS YOUR AVATAR??
@@MadHatter42 This harkens back to the early 2000s where we couldn't accept some people are just evil and thery all need tragic motivation. The first movie that stands out to me for doing this was Spiderman 2 with Doc Oct.
@@curiositykilledthecat5118 then again even in recent comics (especially superior spider-man ones) they point out how otto really had a tragic background and could have easily be as heric as peter with the right environment.
film oto is basically ironically otto probably without that bad life he had in comics UNTIL he becomes doc ock
@@curiositykilledthecat5118 Of course! Because apparently evil cannot exist, merely misunderstood heroes. Adolf Hitler? Tragically grumpy artist. Joseph Stalin? Could have been a dancer if his dad didn't beat him. Jeffrey Epstein? Poor guy committed suicide because he just didn't fit in.
"People still remember Cindy-Loo from that, because of the way she was drawn and how charming she was"...
and because she had no feet.

I'm sorry, that Pentatonix choir scene is pretty much my favourite in the whole movie. That was just clever as hell.
I was never a fan of the Jim Carrey film, but this film makes me appreciate it so much more now
I loved the 2000 Grinch with Jim Carrey. I just finished watching 2018 Grinch and it was not as impressive.
@@Showtunediva I actually liked it
“Do you have Prince Albert in a can?”
“Well I hope not, we’d have to let him out.”
WAHAA WAHAA WAHAA
Is your refrigerator running? Somebody will catch it.
WAHA WAHA WAHA
This joke has taken on a whole new meaning
Who's Prince Albert? I get the refrigerator running joke with the double meaning between being turned on and having to chase after it. But Prince Albert in a can? In a can? What's that supposed to mean? Who's Prince Albert? Is there an expression "in a can?"
@@SeanWheeler100 Prince Albert was a type of tobacco that came in a can
King Stevie Greig but was it always sold in a can? If so, why specify “in a can” as the phrase? It’s already in the can. Unless it also came in a box?
Here's my two cents, The Jim Carrey Grinch is a One of a Kind movie you're likely never to see anywhere else. This Grinch meanwhile is a generic animated movie you could replace with pretty much any other.
I feel like every single Grinch movie has its own version of The Grinch. In the original like she was like a Hermit isolated from everyone, in the live-action one he was more like Bigfoot and in the animated one he was like that grumpy neighbor nobody Minds

Geez thank you.
Both The Jim Carrey/Ron Howard version of How The Grinch Stole Christmas and Illumination's Grinch FUCKING SUCK GREEN EGGS AND PIG BALLS However Jim Carrey's portrayal is WAY BETTER than Benedict Cumberbatch's voice portrayal
@@thing1thing2themediamaniac43 I don't think Benedict Cumberbatch wanted to do this
@@Humanresouces I know right?! He sounds straight up bored through most of the movie
@@DCReviewz I agree. Plus, it just feels like a another cash grab for the studio.
Personal opinion: I think this movie is…….. cute. It’s not great, it’s not horrible. Just cute. Colorful, charming and something to put on every once in awhile
Nice. Good on you for finding something to enjoy in this. :)
True.
I love this movie and while I acknowledge that it has flaws, it doesn’t make me angry. This is my opinion and you don’t have to agree. Thank you for listening to my opinion. 😀
Same, I think it's a good Christmas movie the children will enjoy.
"Cindy Lou Who, who was no more than two"
That's supposed to be a 2-year old?
And yes, that was an issue with the Jim Carey version, also.
Even if Cindy was older in the Carrey version, she had A PERSONALITY and was cute. The animated one is a bit ugly and had no personality, all she wanted to do was CAPTURE Santa so he can help his mother which is very cruel. That's it! No cuteness, no kindness, nothing about this girl is interresting or charming.
To be honest I would have liked this movie a lot more if benidict embraced his British accent and the movie complimented it by making the grinch meaner and more devilish
Yes
It’s an Illumination movie, do you really expect the characters to be complex?
Ha Ha
@@dailygeek1334 well YEAH if they're adapting a story about a self proclaimed "mean one" (the Grinch is meant to be the villain).
Here, he's a nice guy at best and a grumpy neighbor at worst to the Whoville citizens and yet the audience watching the movie is supposed to *hate* (or root against) the Grinch and his actions.
he could've sounded like Gordon Ramsey lol
Is it just me, or does Max in this film look like a rejected model from The Secret Life of Pets? I mean, couldn't they have at least made HIM look unique?!
Every Illumination film is starting to look the same. I once saw a background from SLoP and thought it was from Despicable Me.
Now I’m worried about Illumination’s 2022 Super Mario Bros. movie.
@@SleepDeprivedGinger I agree. Hopefully they'll get it right.
General Storm Oh they will, because Shigeru Miyamoto is on board and has a big role on it. Who is he? *The father of Super Mario.*
Sorry, I’m just really excited about this movie.
@@SleepDeprivedGinger No big deal, I'm sure they won't screw up, considering Miyamoto is on board.

Just think of the original cartoon Grinch as Walt Kowalski from Gran Torino.....Get off my lawn.
I'm pretty sure the reason is supposed to be his heart was two sizes too small, which is why his heart grows three sizes at the end of the story, when he turns good.
@@redred8478 Which is a crock of shit when you really think about it.
It always bugged me that Dr Seuss never gave a reason for the Grinch hating Christmas. Which is why I like the Jim carry version more because it gave him a reason. It's a stupid reason but I'll take a stupid reason over no reason at all
The reasoning in this film is that he had no familly to enjoy the happiest time of the year with, making him bitter that he was left an outcast.
I grew up watching the Jim Carrey version with my Dad, who grew up watching the animated version & even though we don't love it like we did when we were younger, we both still find it entertaining. We both saw the new version together & even though we both think the new version looks nice, we found it mostly boring.
“Are they whoish?”
I’m light headed from laughing too hard that was was amazing

@Jonanthony Hernandez that's why, no matter how much time people take a piss at the live action grinch, it's still one of my favorite christmas films

The live action one fucking set the tree on fire. Clearly, he is the superior Grinch.

I think bland and boring is way more awful than insane and terrible. Insane and terrible has more character, even if it is God awful.
“Did you really think there wouldn’t be a Grinch rap?”
Well look on the bright side, at least there was no Grinch dubstep

You know who else looks sad? Link
In Wind Waker, when Link's sister is captured, he has a look of worry and sadness; and we feel bad for him because we understand why he feels that way. We got an understanding of his relationship with Aryll - as well their grandmother - so we're able to give a damn when bad things happen
In this movie, who gives a shit about anything?
The Grinch's backstory in the Jim carry version made me cry
My first thought: I thought he already did the Grinch...
My second thought: There's a 2018 Grinch?!!?
Geeky_Anomaly yea there was a lot of promotion around it this time last year. I thought it was stupid and not worth my time
Your third thought: *INTERNAL SCREAMING*
I'm amazed you're unaware of this, given how hard they were promoting it!
Nostalgia Critic did a Sailor Moon transformation
My life is now complete
I was a bit surprised because he did not seem to be into Sailor Moon or anything.
@@melindoranightsilver9298 he did review Sailor Moon.
@@marvinthemaniac7698 Yes but he also admitted that he never really watched or got into it. That was why he went to two other people to explain it to him. He said the show was not for him.
@@melindoranightsilver9298 it was certainly for me! 😎😎😎😎
@@melindoranightsilver9298 maybe he didn't write the transformation joke. or maybe the laugh was more important then his preference.
“Are they who-ish?”
I’m guessing they hate Christmas since they converted from meth-who-dism
12:04 Exactly. The run time was short, so less characterization was needed.
Actually, in the live action Grinch, that whole fiasco where the kids bullied him is used to explain why the Grinch hated the _Whos_ , not Christmas. The film actually stays true to people not knowing why he didn’t like Christmas, even as a baby he was biting the head off a Santa Clause plate.
N-not that I’m defending this... dumpster fire of a movie, but it certainly does add more depth to Jim Carrey’s Grinch~
Bites the head off a Santa Clause plate, AND draws Santa and his Sled being hit by a rocket. I never noticed that, but you're right; the film IS faithful to the whole mystery of Grinch's hatred of Christmas. Although it's not that mysterious, Dr. Seuss just wrote he was born with a heart too small, which apperently translates to not feeling joy and love as you do on Christmas
SilverAshes109 I hate how everyone says Jim Carrey’s Grinch was awful! I fucking loved it! It hurts my heart to hear people say it’s bad
@@bboof2624 i like it to the jim karry 1 is good

That is so mean to poor sweet Fred but it's still funny XD
20:52 "you know that's another problem with movies like this. They're treated like cartoons, not animated films and yes, there is a difference!"
That's what we've been saying about anime! There's a difference there too you know
DEFINITELY!
Exhibit A: the thing Doug references in the beginning of this video. 🌙
Exactly what is wrong with most of dragonball super and boruto, it's like they forgot how to anime. Of course they are mostly cash cows not caring about what they began as or evolved into at all, but that's why this film is so bad and why they are basically not any good either.
Anime is literally just the Japanese word for animation. In Japan, the Simpsons is anime.
The word cartoon is also a synonym of the word animation.
You guys are going through great lengths to defend your liking of cartoons.
If you think American cartoons are just for kiddies, watch an episode of South Park. Not every cartoon is Spongebob.
Of course there's a difference "cartoons" are animation for children

This also feels like an insult to Jim Carrey for how much mental anguish and physical exhaustion he went through to play this character and then they remake it by animation that could have been done in the first place....he trained with a CIA operative to withstand torture because of how awful that suit was.
3 years later and the magical girl parody is still my favourite Christmas opening 😂
And Malcom and Tamara piling on makes it even funnier
3:11 In other words, they basically made Cindy Loo Who a copy and paste of Edith from Despicable Me. Not surprising, considering they like to remind us of that movie with their other movies.
KaiSigmonte Is that why Aloysius O'Hare from the Lorax has the same last name as Fred O’Hare from Hop?
@@bbolin5626 I guess? I'm not really sure on that.
Correction dude, she’s not entirely an Edith copycat, Cindy doesn’t even have Edith’s mischievous personality, for most of the movie, Cindy is a charming and sweet little girl who’s desperately worried for her mother and wants to make things better for her.
KaiSigmonte I like your profile picture. Is that Rathalos armour?
Jeez, it’s Agnes!

Anyone notice that Cindy Lou’s father has been removed entirely and they made her mom a single parent?
Wow wine mom Approved
Yeah, people will be bitching about that for years. The reality of divorced parents existing and being represented as decent people is too much for conservative snowflakes.
@@Mechaghostman2

Also when did divorced parents being bad become a partisan talking point? Last i checked conservatives can divorce too.
This idea reeks of blue checkmark barf.
@@HeilRay
Single parents in the media being portrayed as decent people is actually a recent phenomenon. Before they were always portrayed as sluts and welfare users, which is not an accurate representation of most single mothers.
@rockman fan BOI
Netflix not only was able to remake a beloved Dr.seuss property (green eggs and ham) and were to recreate the non sensical that all Dr.seuss books took place in, they were able to incorporate not only funny but (GASP) smart writing, actual you know .... morals the THING DR.SEUSS IS KNOWN FOR !!! And not only that but they actually were able to make 13 episodes and each at about 30 minutes,with a second 10 episode season. And it keeps you engaged the entire time, and this grinch couldn’t keep us engaged for less than half the time the green eggs and ham sires did. Oh fun fact! Each episode is painfully hand drawn and has smooth and detailed animations, costing neflix 72 million for the first season, the budget for the grinch was 75 million. So in summary, yeah go watch it instead.
Also I think Sam and Guy are gay
@@filletofish2200 What a response, my guy!
@Fillet O Fish
You mean you KNOW they are.
man i havent watched green eggs and ham in quite a while.
i need to rewatch it again..
@@filletofish2200 well it’s a Netflix production after all
15:51, No, he was the only one who wasn't adopted and not given gifts, and the reason why the orphanage was empty was because everyone was celebrating it outside, and that "everyone" was adopted, they orphanage closed.
Man looks at stuff too deep
@@superrazor7617you are right,but he gave everyone a good idea of why the grinch hated Christmas
"He's crazy! He talks to toy foxes"

Definitely. He's been totally broken since that review.
It’s totally worth watching just to see him be forced to admit that live-action Grinch actually did some things right. >X)
“Are they Whoish?”
Had to stop for a minute to laugh at that one
It took me a minute to get it... but I died when I did.
i legit dont get it. can someone explain?
@@atbz6952 I think it's meant to rhyme with "Jewish." The Jewish religion doesn't celebrate Christmas. Like the orphanage Grinch was at apparently didn't.
@@sabrinamiller3671 ahhh
Sabrina Miller Don’t they celebrate Hanukkah..? Or in their case “Whonukkah..”

I’ll look for the front door and shut it on the way out..
I grew up watching the live action and of course enjoyed it. To me it adds more character to the Grinch with Jim Carrey's performance. But this one just does a quick intro to the town and adding stupid thing's in it. Like the Grinch waking up, taking a shower and eating breakfast. Which isn't something worth watching but that's the point of going to the town. Just to get food. Thought he ate garbage or glass bottles.
Live action presents how wonderful Christmas is and shows them rushing to get the gifts, than shows the Grinch in an interesting way. A way that you think wow this guy doesn't like getting bothered, don't wanna be on his bad side.
The movie is well presented with the colours and lights but the acting and animation isn't good. Like I said Jim Carrey brought the Grinch to life and you can see he's grumpy and doesn't care attitude. Where as in this movie he's happy here and annoyed here. It doesn't balance out well.
When we get into the "story" of Cindy and her mother it doesn't work well. I thought it would at first but no. Getting the "gang" together should tell that they really didn't care about a good story. If the characters aren't gonna change any part of the movie why have them at all?
The movie was boring to begin with and if they had Jim Carrey back as the Grinch it would've been more tolerable to watch.
24 frames of nick really liked the grinch rap and was disappointed at Nostalgia critic at 6:50 And he also said :-" I will handle the
nostalgia from now on, everyone knows I invented nostalgia".
The mistake in the skirt was the color. He’s more of a sailor mars.
The transformation sequence was clearly based on Moon...also, Mars might kill him. 😂🔥
Weeb
Aaron St. Germain I mean yeah on the weekends.
😄
Read this in Projareds voice.
You know what I’ve realized about this movie? The Grinch isn’t characterized as the Grinch; he’s characterized as Gru. Illumination was trying to write another “more of a jerk than a villain but actually a nice guy,” and that just doesn’t work for the Grinch.
Also Cindy Lou kind looks and entirely acts like agnus from despicable me.
He actually wore the same scarf as gru in the movie
Still one of my most favorite transformations
I love how Malcom and Tamara kept piling on
I've been watching this channel for years and it's still amazing 👏
Thanks for watching!!
It kills me to think that movies like this are what passes as "entertainment" for kids these days
Watch Green Eggs and Ham on Netflix. It'll cleanse you.
No, seriously, it's pretty good.
Welcome to the Metaverse I’ve seen it. I agree.
Jessica Taylor Adults are part of a family. This is a family film. The first animated film is also a family film, am I not allowed to enjoy that one too, your highness? Lol.
Jordan3D Thank goodness we have animation studios like Pixar, Studio Ghibli, Laika, or Aardman that at least give a shit about what they’re making and put care into their work.
