Simply Perfect
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
As I did for the Cat in the Hat movie, I'll do this review in rhyming. Run for your lives, my friends, because the Grinch from the classic 1968 TV special is at it again! This time, he's going to give Whoville a lot of fright in Dr. Seuss' "Halloween is Grinch Night!" However, he's about to be foiled by a rather small who. A who by the name of Ukariah Who. Lost on the way to the outhouse(called the euphemism) as the sour-sweet wind blew, Ukariah is about to run into... you know who! Ukariah, determined to the stop the evil Grinch, must use his brains to outsmart him in a pinch. Will Ukariah Who save the day or will the Grinch blow Whoville away? Find out in this Halloween classic that is sure to delight, Dr. Seuss' "Halloween is Grinch Night!" Starring Hans Conried as the Grinch and the Narrator, Gary Shapiro as Ukariah, Henry Gibson as Max's singing voice, Hal Smith as Josiah, Jack DeLeon as Sergeant Samuel McPherson, and Irene Tedrow as Mariah. Featuring more than 5 spooky songs and lots of Seussian fun, "Halloween is Grinch Night" will always be #1!
Nasty old killjoy the Grinch (superbly voiced with deliciously oily aplomb by Hans Conried, who also does the charming narration) plans to pay the Whos in Whoville a decidedly unpleasant visit during a fierce wind storm. It's up to brave little Who Eukariah (an endearing sweet voice by Gary Shapiro) to stop the no-good Grinch. This typically offbeat and imaginative tale by Dr. Seuss not only offers the expected oddball creatures, catchy and witty songs, and trademark wacky rhymes, but also a spot-on central message about one can only effectively surmount fear by facing it head on. The Grinch makes for a delightfully sour and glowering buzz-crusher villain while Eukariah is a likable protagonist. The sequence in which a creepy array of spooky ghosts and grotesque ghouls try to scare Eukariah is wonderfully trippy and macabre. Henry Gibson as the voice of the Grinch's hapless browbeaten dog Max sings a hauntingly sad song. The animation is extremely vivid, colorful, and creative. Joe Raposo's infectiously jaunty score further enhances the enjoyably kooky merriment. A pleasingly quirky romp.
For a prequel, this one exceeded "The Grinch That Stole Christmas" in many ways. It's a more secular ethic being presented in an almost Oscar Wilde fashion. We are taught by a precocious child ( Eukariah ) that pragmatism and a strong identity are tools that can overcome adversity, despite all the ballyhoo and bluster the Grinch may present. After all we all go to the euphemism all the time.Eukariah presents us with an ideal of dignity in the face of calamity. The Grinch's bag of tricks confound and befuddle, but our diminutive hero takes a straight and sober view of these hi-jinx and wins the day.The sub text to this film is Eukariah's poor judgement insisting he go to the euphemism in the first place. What if the Grinch managed to grinch him? All the Who's fears would be realized.
I also got the grinch grinches the cat in the hat. this movie is less better than that movie but I like this movie it is ok. I like how lots of the whos like Eukiriah and Mariah and Jasiah all have the same tune 2 their name.
