Have you seen the new Grinch movie yet? Initially when I first heard about this, I shrugged it off as ‘yet another remake’. Having grown up with the 1966 ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas!’, I adored that cartoon, and especially the ‘You’re a Mean One, Mister Grinch’ theme song with Boris Karloff. It was one of my favorite network-television Christmas special, which I looked forward to every year.

But, as a huge fan of Benedict Cumberbatch (voice of ‘The Grinch’) and Illumination and Universal Pictures Despicable Me (2010), my curiosity was piqued. Much to my surprise, both my daughter and I enjoyed the movie. We believe that your family will have a great time too!
Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch is now available on Digital and via the digital movie app MOVIES ANYWHERE. 4K Ultra HD, 3D Blu-ray™, Blu-ray™, DVD and On Demand will be available on February 5, 2019. 
The new 2018 Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch re-introduces us (and new audience members) to the grouchy green ‘Grinch’, his adorable and loyal dog ‘Max’, and his annoyingly jolly neighbors ‘the Whos’ who live in Whoville.
