This was a horrible attempt to master the original. I honestly don't know why they thought a remake should have been done. Sadly this movie doesn't even compare. It seems to me that this is a friendlier buttered up version. The narrator is terrible. The original Grinch was sinister and horribly mean. This one is simply grouchy. The music just doesn't go with this movie also. If you have never seen the original, you may like this one. My suggestion though is to watch the original.
