This film is hillarious.
The Grinch is a green hairy fella who lives with his dog. He hates Christmas and all things nice.
I have watched this film so many times, and i still laugh out loud every time.
I highly recommend this film to anyone who wants a funny, feel good Christmas movie, to watch with all the family.

Disapointed with this collection. I got it for my young son, aged 4 and it is nothing like the original far more gentle 1967 series. It is certainly not aimed at younger viewers and the PG rating is right. Language and level of violence not suitable in my opinion for younger children.Fine if you're a teenager but not for Spidey's youngest fans. Plus the animation is very jerky and fast moving not good for them...or me either. Guess I'll have to await until the original series is released in region 2 !

I didn't really want to buy this DVD only its incredibly hard trying to explain to a 2 year old that HIS friends tigger and pooh (or tiddler pooh as it is known in our house due to limited vocabulary) aren't on tv 24 hours a day just waiting for him to tune in.
Unlike a previous reviewer I knew exactly what to expect and that it was from the new disney series but I think if you forget that it has anything to do with the original books and drawings and take it on its own merit it is a lovely and very engaging series, which is ideal for toddlers.

The animation is incredible: the facial expressions, the body movement, the play of light, the attention to detail takes your breath away. Add to this a superb soundtrack, and you realise why it got such good critical reviews.
It is a traditional story, but has been told without so much of that awful syrup and candy so beloved by Disney and, I regret to say, Pixar. The mock 'reality program' slant was inspirational, as was the cutting forward to dialogue that explained events in the past. Sorry folks, you have to pay attention to this film. You are not spoon fed the story like Disney and Pixar do. You require some brains to follow the story line.
As for the negative comments on the film's dialogue and 'commentaries', come ... Read More:

My son loves it as much as I did. He refers to it as the "fire-engine" DVD. Great stories, fab music and a sense of real life that keeps my boys interest.

Depending on when you were born, The Clangers dvd is either going to be 5-star knockout brilliant, or minus-several-million-stars 'what the heck is this?' rubbish.
There's just a chance that if you didn't grow up following the antics of these animated characters then you might still be captured by the innocent delight of knitted pink mousey things which live on a blue moon and hide under saucepan lids. However, I suspect that it's one of those cultural moments which might pass later generations by, so if you haven't seen The Clangers before then you should rent rather than buy, just to see if your sense of humour stretches to blue string pudding and the Soup Dragon.
But if you remember The Clangers with fondness then I have no idea why you're even ... Read More:

If you're a fan of Shane Meadows (This is England et al) you'll probably love this too. A very very cool, witty and dry look at life in the 80s through the eyes of a neglected little tough guy and his mate from an Amish-like community. Sweet, meticulous and full of brilliant dialogue - plus great acting from the little nippers - it's a new British classic.
