You've more than likely seen the classic 1966 animated television special; How the Grinch Stole Christmas! at some point in your life. It's a timeless tale without question.
This year, Illumination (the creators of Despicable Me) have taken on the project of creating a new adaptation of the classic, simply titled; The Grinch.
I went to see this movie last night, and it was terrific! It was so good that I wanted to write a quick review with a couple of takeaways.
First off, the animation is terrific. Truly beautiful. I'd say it takes one's breath away. Very impressive.
I'm also a real fan of what they did with the Grinch's character. He has a personality, and I really felt a connection to his character.
I also really liked how the filmmakers tinkered with some elements of the original story. I'd call this film a "fresh take" on the Grinch. It doesn't have to replace the 1966 classic. You can be a fan of both. I know I am. But I'd also say that this is my new favorite Grinch film.
In summary; the animation is terrific, I like what they did with the Grinch's character, and it is filled with many laughs. And I should mention that from a faith perspective, there is much truth exposited.
I'd love to here your thoughts on the Grinch. Do you plan to see this film this Christmas season? Do you like when a timeless tale is tinkered with? Which is you favorite Grinch film? And if you have watched this film, it'd be cool if we could have a discussion about some of the truths presented in it. I honestly saw quite a bit and look forward to seeing it again!
Thanks for reading! God bless you!
