Do you ever feel like Christmas isn't quite... *Christmas* anymore? What if I told you the true spirit of the season has been slowly eroded, not by Ebenezer Scrooge, but by something far more pervasive? We're going to uncover how commercialism quietly stole the art and soul of Christmas, right from under our noses.Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas is a 2000 American Christmas fantasy comedy film directed by Ron Howard and written by Jeffrey Price and Peter S. Seaman, based on the 1957 children's book by Dr. Seuss. It was the first Dr. Seuss book to be adapted into a live-action feature film, and the second adaptation of the book, following the 1966 animated TV special. Narrated by Anthony Hopkins, the film stars Jim Carrey as the Grinch, with Jeffrey Tambor, Christine Baranski, Bill Irwin and Molly Shannon in supporting roles. The story revolves around a grouchy, green recluse living on Mount Crumpit, who despises Christmas and the joyful residents of Whoville and sets out to sabotage their holiday celebration.How the Grinch Stole Christmas was released in the United States on November 17, 2000, by Universal Pictures. It received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $347 million, with a budget of $123 million, becoming the highest-grossing film of 2000 domestically, the sixth-highest-grossing film of 2000 worldwide, and the second highest-grossing holiday film of all time behind Home Alone (1990). At the 73rd Academy Awards, the film won Best Makeup and Hairstyling, in addition to earning nominations for Best Production Design and Best Costume Design. Carrey's performance earned him a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor.Subscribe to our Patreon https://patreon.com/TheGrindhousePodcast Check out or Merch! https://grindhouse-merch.printify.me/ Watch Last Weeks Episode! https://youtu.be/D3ulMeI6id8 Facebook @thegrindhousepodcast Instagram @thegrindhousepodcast TikTok @thegrindhousepodcast Check out New Episodes Every Saturday At 3:00pm EST
