    Created as a companion video to my series of CARTOON EVOLUTION videos (specifically the one focusing on 'Evolution of THE GRINCH - 63 Years Explained'), I take a look at the vocal evolution of Dr. Seuss's Christmas creation as I compare his official voice actors and live-action portrayals over time, including Boris Karloff, Jim Carrey, Benedict Cumberbatch, Matthew Morrison, Zero Mostel, Hans Conried, Bob Holt, Walter Matthau, Anthony Asbury and Peter Cugno.
    Here's a look at THE GRINCH through the years!!

    My favorite actors performing the Grinch are Boris Karloff from the original 1966 special by Chuck Jones and Jim Carrey from the Live-Action Grinch film.

  • @milestinker2178
    @milestinker2178 3 года назад +60

    At times, Jim Carrey's Grinch sounded like he was trying to do a mixed impression of Tim Curry and Sean Connery at the same time.

    NO ONE can possibly beat Boris Karloff! He "made" the show, as far as I am concerned. I don't think the character would have had a life beyond that one special without his brilliance.

    Boris Jim Hans Walter and Bob are my personal favorites. Bob was probably the closest to matching Boris' take on the character.

  • @mightyfilm
    @mightyfilm 3 года назад +23

    That Walter Matthau one is a DEEP dive. I remember seeing that Random House Storybook VHS in some store for years and it just mystifying me. Like, why would you rent that instead of the original cartoon unless it was already checked out. I think there was an audiobook version of it, but I distinctly remember that storytime video. I will say that I was kind of disappointed that they didn't have Benedict just do his natural British accent for the character. I guess they were trying for more vulnerable than threatening. Boris and Jim's were both very menacing. Jim's coming off as a dangerously unbalanced character. I guess they wanted something different. Though, Benedict's character from the Penguins of Madagascar movie used his natural speaking voice and it worked rather well.

    • @SharpDesign
      @SharpDesign 3 года назад +3

      He was trying too hard to change his voice it seems. His regular voice would have worked great.

    • @mightyfilm
      @mightyfilm 3 года назад +3

      I agree. Benedict has a lot of sardonic, slightly egotistical roles from Sherlock to Dr. Strange and a slightly cartoony version of that would have worked fine. Giving him a nasally American no-accent accent was a strange choice. Plus, it would have been more similar to Boris Karloff's slight accent and voice. And on that subject, the Walter Matthau delivery is strange as well. Anyone who's a fan of the movie version of The Odd Couple, the Grumpy Old Men movies, or even the first Dennis the Menace film, knows that Walter can do grouchy and grumpy perfectly as is. I'd love to be a fly on the wall of the recording session for Zero Mostel, however. That's a bombastic performance that pretty much rivals Jim Carrey's. And Jim's basically being himself impersonating the cartoon version. Oh, I cannot wait for Sonic the movie 2.

    Nothing beats Boris Karloff. ❤️Actually, I'd never really realized until now that (because of Boris Karloff) the Grinch doesn't sound quite right to me if he doesn't have an English accent. Weirdly, the only other actor that seemed to take the Grinch's original accent into account was Bob Holt (who was an American in real-life). Ironic, considering that Benedict Cumberbatch has a natural English accent, yet performed the Grinch with an American one. 😆

  • @spectre9792
    @spectre9792 3 года назад +4

    I vaguely recall (from around 1992) having this video tape with a narrated "motion comic" (which is the best way to describe it) of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and about a couple other Seuss tales. I'm not surprised that one wasn't on here, though.

    • @jonathanpeterson1633
      @jonathanpeterson1633 3 года назад +1

      If I’m remembering right, the Walter Matthau version WAS that one! My parents and I had a copy of that when I was small. I think the other story on the cassette was “If I Ran the Zoo.”

    • @spectre9792
      @spectre9792 3 года назад

      Maybe, but I also vaguely recall 'The Cat in the Hat Comes Back' was included, too.
      I also remember loaning it to my second grade teacher for our class to watch and never getting it back.

    @LowellLucasJr. 3 года назад +5

    I think the general rule of thumb with the Grinch as to always be mean and nasty, with a small bit of sincerity that you regret to acknowledge. The grinchmas always be spiteful, gets concerned about those around him but hides it with low-key hostility! With that said, every voice actor has added something Fantastic and AWFUL to the Grinchs personality befitting him!
