And Toto, you are a sweetheart. What a lovely compliment -- you gave me a little tear and a big smile.ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-2408167518842446912010-12-20T14:46:48.747-05:002010-12-20T14:46:48.747-05:00Great write-up, Becky!

Karloff was indeed a perfect choice as the narrator, capturing the Seuss prose with all its unique rhythm and rhyme. It's not easy to adapt a Seuss book, as proven by lame big-screen adaptations such as Ron Howard's GRINCH and the even-worse CAT IN THE HAT with Mike Myers (on the other hand, DR. T was a lot of fun). Wonderful job, Becks!Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-69581409711579835322010-12-20T09:00:24.229-05:002010-12-20T09:00:24.229-05:00How I love little Max and sweet Cindy-Lou Who

There's nothing scary about the mean ol' Grinch, and Boris Karloff's narration is terrific. Jim Carrey as the live action Grinch, on the other hand, was just creepy. Thanks for a splendid read, which makes me look forward to watching this Christmas gem again.sarkoffagushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00922698736476674377noreply@blogger.com
