_"Maybe Christmas he thought, doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more."_
*~ Dr. Seuss*
@Drippy Nikhil Gaming hmmm, gore.... that’s not a bad idea
@Drippy Nikhil Gaming, *_"What a bore."_*
Of course
@@starleehambrath5556, I mean given credit, you literally dead lifted a sleigh of many things, Superhuman strength like that can gore anybody casually.
@Drippy Nikhil Gaming Nevermore
First time I laid eyes on the special a few years back, I said "Chuck Jones". I didn't know anything about it, but when I saw the artstyle I recognized it as unmistakably him.
I never realized The Who’s in ‘Horton Hears a Who and ‘The Grinch’ were the same people.
Long story
Lol, u didn't?
@@Marvelfanatic3658 yes I did!
@@starleehambrath5556 damn savage
Don’t know what g3mini was thinking. Conceptually, they’re the same, but in the context of their origins, they’re not.
How The Grinch Stole Christmas is Chuck Jones' masterpiece.
Yes
I can agree with that
Yep
Yes absolutely, this timeless cartoon masterpiece makes the 2 films look likes child’s play compared to that one. They will never beat the original, ever.
Well sort of
With some days left to christmas
And the wait being unpleasent
Mr. Dave lee gave to us
A great early christmas present
4 more days ‘till Christmas! And 3 more days ‘till Christmas eve!
I did enjoy Jim Carrey as The Grinch. My favorite scenes are:
The Grinch trying to decide what to wear to the Whoville Christmas party.
The Grinch giving Max direction on his performance as Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer.
The Grinch returning home after the party, catching Max having his own little Christmas shindig.
Well, I did work my best to deliver your best moments!
That’s my favorite Grinch movie!
"Its not a dress, it's a kilt, *Rips off Kilt* Sicko!"
@@maldon3659 lol
Those and the "I'm an idiot!" scene are the only parts I laughed at.
_In my opinion, the original Chuck Jones-animated,_
_No way can its superiority be overstated!_
_Enlisting the talent, not just Boris Karloff,_
_But June Foray as well, and Thurl Ravenscroft._
_Tho may seem it's been 'round since epoch Triassic,_
_An eternally joyous Dr. Seussian classic!_
I have very fond memories of the watching the TV special every year in elementary school. My teachers always had an excuse to put it on. 😂
I was also one of those kids that loved the 2000 Jim Carrey film and re-watch it every Christmas.
That's actually pretty funny.
Do you remember any of their excuses?
@@evy9439 Nothing in particular but I think it was a combination of them feeling checked out and us feeling checked out because we were waiting for Christmas Break.
Thurl Ravenscroft did some voices for Disney features as well, including: Monstro the Whale in Pinocchio, one of the Painter Cards in Alice in Wonderland, Al the Alligator in Lady and the Tramp, Captain the Horse in One Hundred and One Dalmatians, Sir Bart in The Sword in the Stone and The Brave Little Toaster trilogy as Kirby the Vacuum Cleaner.
A vacuum cleaner would probably be what Kirby (from Nintendo) would be as a household appliance, cause of him eating damn near anything in his path.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas 2000 is my favorite. Jim Carrey is hilarious and I still watch it every year
Me too
I remember when I was around twelve years old and I watched the 2000s version of Grinch. My father said I watch movies for babies after a relative of my mom told him what I was watching. What a Christmas memory I have from that year...
Sindy Lou Who: You're the..the...
18:15 "THE The the..The GRINCH!"
You Know That Cindy Starts With A C
Cindy
So, the Grinch has been an illustration, a 2D cartoon, a live action actor, a puppet, and a CGI cartoon. Not many characters have been portrayed in that many mediums.
Stop-motion is the only visual medium he hasn't been portrayed in.
Not to mention a crap video game
There's going to be a horror movie of the Grinch.
@@Igorcastrochucre bro, a stop-motion Grinch would sound pretty good not gonna lie
Mickey Mouse: Am I a joke to you?
Thanks to everyone for your incredible support on CARTOON EVOLUTION this past year! We just surpassed 12 million accumulative views on the series - which is insane!! Hope you enjoy this episode, I’ll be taking a break in January and CARTOON EVOLUTION will return in February 2021!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Ok...
Hey Dave can you do my idea please it is the evolution of Calvin and Hobbes
Thank you for these incredible videos and for making us smile during this tough, unprecedented year. Bless you and well done. Enjoy your break 🙂
@@starleehambrath5556 OMG ITS YOU
That’s quite a long break
The Chuck Jones version is the only one I've ever seen and the only one I WANT to see... You can't improve, on perfection!
I think Jim carry’s grinch is my favorite grinch ever
My's too
Same!
Tbh I really like Jim carry and the 2018 grinch
I know that Jim Carey is my favorite Grinch!
Mine's Boris Karloff's
I wish they would make more dr.Seuss content. Like the green eggs and ham on netflix
They said they were making a new season. Wonder when they will.
Green Eggs and Ham I found far superior to ANY of the theatrical Dr. Seuss movies. Maybe because the episodic medium gives the story more time to shine, maybe because the visual style for something on a TV show budget never shined brighter with such fluid, wonderful animation. But whatever it is, I attribute the success of the project by the simple fact that it should NOT have worked. There is no reason such a project should have been possible, plausible, or achievable. But not only did it work, it became a glorious project of nonsense and heart and pure joy that the movies just couldn't accomplish. Plus, Eddie Izzard plays essentially the same role he did in the forgettable bland and boring Abominable, only... you know... in a GOOD project. And as a straightforward villain instead of the clumsiest surprise villain twist in modern memory.
Same here
@@matthewwilliams5447 well seeing as how the show is 2D Animated it's possible we could see it sometime in 2021 or 2022 due to the amount of work put into the show.
@@mightyfilm I find it interesting because the Dr. Seuss adaptations gives more extension from a book with limited pages into something lengthy and complex to fill up the storyline from the nonsense poems, even the dialogues have to be spoken in prose instead of poem, except the old animated specials.
Best nostalgic grinch: how the Grinch stole christmas (first Christmas special)
Best gadgets: new grinch
Best funniest: how the Grinch stole christmas (feature film)
It's been a long time since we got a backstory / origin of The Grinch for his 63rd Anniversary, Thank you guys!!!!!
Absolute favorite. The book version. I love Chuck and I love his animation. But Seuss’s illustrations are pure art. And I would kill for an animated adaptation that stuck closer to it.
The Grinch has expanded beyond everyone's Expectatations not just into the movies but even a Halloween Special Prequel in which they had him come towards invading Whoville but on a spiritual technicality he couldn't and ended up going back to his home.I saw the Grinch and The Cat in the hat Special too.Btw I saw these other follow-ups before like this special on TNT of The 5000 fingers of Dr.T and even previously on The USA Network on Night Flight Snafu too.
I like the grinch grinches the cat in the hat
It’s hilarious seeing the happy happy cat just having an off day
And the ending with the grinch remembering his mother im crying right now just remembering that song
I also love that song at the end
Happy Holidays everyone! Here's hoping 2021 is a better year.
“Cartoon Version”
*shows the live action one*
My favourite versions of The Grinch are the 1966 TV special and the 2000 theatrical film.
1966
Me: *sees Puppet Grinch in the thumbnail*
Also Me: *Nostalgia like a train*
Everybody hates Christmas just a little bit? He clearly hasn’t met me
Oh really?
@@starleehambrath5556 listen buddy for this once I need the red eyes again to compete this ond
@@debbieharrington5420 where do you need those red eyes?
@@starleehambrath5556 you I need you
@@debbieharrington5420 ok
An evolution of Optimus Prime episode might make an interesting change of pace (albeit it would be a very long one).
You had a great year, cheers for more in the future.
Thank you! 🙏🏻
@@DaveLeeDownUnder Dave, what was your favorite Grinch appearance?
Ron Howard's How the Grinch Stole Christmas is by far my favourite. I remember that it was a Christmas present from my parents when it first came out and I still watch the film every year.
The Jim Carrey Grinch is my favorite. An absolute Christmas classic. Obviously I love the original cartoon, and I like the 2018 movie. But nothing beats Jim Carrey.
Kind off a bomb surprise you were doing a Cartoon Evolution on The Grinch, since In some of the other replies for the Charlie Brown videos you were taking a break on the Cartoon Evolution this month.
I actually was expecting a Looney Tune (e.g. Taz), but since it's December and almost Christmas, It made sense you went with the Grinch (cause he's the only character other than Scrooge, Santa, Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph, etc. associated with Christmas).
This is the first time you've done a Cartoon Evolution of a character originated from a literature book (in the case Dr. Seuss). Looking forward to the Grinch's voice evolution this week
Lol I hope a “bomb surprise” is a good surprise.
Though - FYI, I did announce this one about a month ago. Make sure to keep an eye on my community board and socials for regular announcements.
Not sure I ever said I was taking a break from Evolutions in December - but certainly am in January.
Hope you enjoy the video!
@@DaveLeeDownUnder No worries, any surprise, or as I said "bomb surprise" is a welcoming surprise.😉
It didn't occur to me until you mentioned this right now you also make Cartoon Evolution announcements via the RUclips Community since, since I thought that was just ONLY meant for exclusive members who have Patreon. But thanks for the reminder so I can keep an eye out on what's coming up, even though you won't make a Cartoon Evolution video until February 2021.
Outside of The Grinch, you think you might cover other Dr. Seuss characters (e.g. The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, etc.) in future Cartoon Evolution shorts videos at a later point?
Hey Dave. For the Cartoon Evolution this December, I have an idea who you can do. I was thinking about Christmas characters who has a decent sized evolution and I decided on one of my favorite Christmas characters, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. From what I learned from messing around on Wikipedia, Rudolph himself has been around for about 60 to 70 years and has gone through at least a decent evolution from I believe book to TV. Also, the 1964 Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Christmas special is one of my Christmas movies of all time. This is just an idea not a request.
The Chuck Jones version is my favorite.
Oh yes, my favorite classic Dr Seuss book: The Pocket Book of BONERS
I was looking for someone to comment on that.
Me and my brother’s favorite dr. Seuss book, read it a zillion times until July. Yes we enjoyed the classic cartoon very much.
Should kids read it?
Fitting since the Ron Howard version is now 20 years old.
I’m sitting here early in the video hoping that the iterations of The Grinch musical BEFORE the Matthew Morrison-starring televised one were also considered. I found several RUclips videos of it, and while I haven’t watched them I’m sure the Grinch costume for the musical hasn’t always looked like the one we got on TV
You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch. Best villian song ever!
One of my kids' middle school teachers, who once work on special effects for Hollywood films, was the test subject for the Grinch make up used in Ron Howard's version.
The stage production of the story was originally presented at The Old Globe Theater here in San Diego.
Besides the book, which I was introduced to at story time in my second grade class, my favorite version is the animated TV special.💚💚💚💚
The Meanest one this Holiday Season is still the very best! Chuck Jones version will always be a classic, Jim Carrey will make us laugh and the recent CG was...' Safe' we'll say.
Dude the wubbulous world of Dr. Seuss is way to underrated like come on please get it up and running again
I like like how throughout the first the animated ones he got less and less detailed
My favorite is the 1966 Grinch. Hands down.
Glad that there were some critics and newspapers like the Toronto Star and Variety recognized The Grinch as they classic it’s truly become. It’s like with many movies that have mixed reviews initially and become classics later, I bet the critics who praised it feel pretty smug about it
It's fascinating that Chuck Jones and Dr. Seuss were good friends. No wonder a lot of Looney Tunes alumni worked on animated adaptations of Seuss' stories. Speaking of which, my favorite version of the Grinch is, of course, the 1966 TV special. As for the other incarnations, the book is wonderfully told and illustrated, the live-action film has its pros and cons, and the other two Grinch cartoons are okay at best. I haven't seen "Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss" in ages, and I've yet to see the Illumination film and that new stage show, so I've nothing to say about them.
I still think it's funny that the Grinch hated a season so much he robbed an entire town in ☝ NIGHT! That's some dedication!
My favorite is the Jim Carrey movie. i haven't watch the Chuck Jones animation yet, but i really don't like the Illumination movie (even though, it does have a pretty design and animation).
I would honestly suggest the Chuck Jones version, it does not have as much padding as either theatrical version since it was only 30 minutes instead of 1 hour and 30 minutes. It still has padding because the book would only be about 12 minutes long
@@thehunterator520 i like the chuck jones one
@@thehunterator520 Jim Carreys Grinch is nearly 2 hours long
I remember watching the Grinch musical at The Lowry in Manchester
okay really though the Grinch is actually telling the true meaning of christmas, ppl say that it's about Jesus or Santa or the presents, when Mariah Carey herself once said "don't care about the presents, underneath the christmas tree".
If the Puppet Grinch came before the Jim Carey Grinch, shouldn’t they be switched on the thumbnail?
My favourite Grinch film is the Jim Carry movie from 2000
Who like’s the baby grinch from 2000
The Grinch appeared in the 2022 horror film, The Mean One and just recently appeared in the Capital One commercial "Toy drive" and in a Walmart delivery commercial.
4:07 cat in the hat
4:01 horton hears a who
The 2000 grinch movie was nightmare fuel for child me
You haven’t seen the live musical version of grinch
@@pink-a-palouza7888 ok
Am I the only one who loves The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss?
6:38 Dr Seuss is a total mood, i can totally relate
"Halloween Is Grinch Night" taught me the word euphemism. That is worth something.
The Grinch has also now become a part of the Smash Bros. community because of a fake roster leak he was associated with 2 years ago.
Jim Carey is my favorite Grinch!
Boris Karloff voiced the Grinch. I honestly thought he just narrated the original "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" film.
Boris died years ago.
He voiced him in the Chuck jones cartoon
But in the 2000 live action movie the narrator was voiced by the late Anthony Hopkins
@@skunkman9815 Anthony Hopkins is still alive today!!!
Except if you adjust for inflation (the only fair way to compare) Jim Carey’s Grinch movie is still #1
Great!
I Love The Grinch 💚👿😈
I always thought the voice behind the "Mr. Grinch" songs was done by Ed Cassidy "(Lurch). "Tony the Tiger" makes sense.
- The book is a Classic
- The Chuck Jones cartoon is the best film representation
- The Jim Carrey version is a guilty pleasure of mine (it's stupid, but I have fun watching it)
- The stage plays are ok
- I DESPISE THE ILLUMINATION MOVIE!
I still love Dr. Seuss's books.
To be honest my favorite grinch movie is the original Grinch film
I love the 1966 version of the grinch!
The Grinch Smile Of More Like Crossbore Between Wile E Coyote And Tom The Cat(Chuck Jones Version)
As much i love 1966 version i always have massive soft spot for Jim Carreys version from 2000 and it has always been one of my favorite Christmas movies and one of my favorite Jim Carrey roles and i thought that 2018 version was pretty ok.
Great video Dave and take care and stay safe 👍.
I love the 1966 Grinch it's funny
1:22 creepy song
I'd love to see a cartoon evolution vid on Droopy, I've always enjoyed Tex Avery's MGM shorts
I like the musical version of the grinch
I love the rhyme at the beginning and end of the video. Great Job
Wait Dr. Suess Is Not a Real Docter
Nope
Fun Fact: The reason why Theodore Geisel used "Dr." in Dr. Seuss as a pen name because his father expected him to study medicines. Also, "Seuss" had that name when he was kicked out of the college newspaper job.
@@poweroffriendship2.0 Thanks For The Fact
❄Love this video! ❤ Anything that goes in depth with the Big Green is always a classic! Thank you for giving us this wonderful gift before Christmas! I thank you!!!❄
1. Chuck Jones
2. Jim Carrey
3. Mathew Morrison
4. Henson Productions
5. Freleng versions
6. Illumination version
Some might wonder why at number 3 did I put the Morrison version well that's very simple when you think about the grinch in general he is supposed to be somewhere in between a grump and frightening. Which is part of the reason why I put the illumination version at number 6 where they got at least max right and had some good ideas however my biggest criticism with the movie is the writing especially how they wrote the Grinch and Cindy.
The original will always be a classic in my eyes.
"And what happpened then? Well in Whoville they say, that the Grinch's heart grew 3 sizes that day."
I love the Grinch in 2018 because he was funny and full of mean and I hope there more of the Grinch.♥️🎄
I just watched the 2018 the grinch today to see what it's like but I still feel the jim Carey version is better in my opinion if never seen the original cartoon the grinch.
My absolute favorite versions of the Grinch are The original How The Grinch Stole Christmas, and Halloween Is Grinch Night!
That’s one short evolution
You know Dave, you know how to make me smile happy holidays 😊❤️
My favorites are Chuck Jones's The Grinch and Jim Carrey's The Grinch
Matthew Morrison and Jim Carrey
The original 1966 Grinch will always be my favorite. Nothing compares to it. It is easily the best of the bunch. However, I do have a soft spot for Benedict Cumberbatch's portrayal of the character. For me, Cumberbatch had the best movie adaptation of the classic 1966 tv special. It may not be better than the original, but it is definitely better than that atrocious Live action adaptation starring Jim Carrey.
2021, im here 🎅🏻
Can’t wait for December to see The Grinch on TV.
My favorite version of the grinch is jim carry
19:34 rhyme time
I grew up with a Grinch doll, that I still own, though it is tucked away in the attic. I watched the Jim Carry interpretation so many times I could quote the entire movie by heart. Coming from a religious family, and being Christian myself, I have never once cared about the under tones (or blatant showing in the newest movie), but even so, I don't really see as that at all anyways. It's more of a message about caring for others and being kind to one another. It's honestly, as mentioned in the video, more anti-commercial it anything.
But to answer the question posed at the end of the video, I honestly can't deny that I love the Live action version. I love that in the newest one and this one they develop the Grinch's skills (the stealing Christmas scenes are always my favorite, because they show off how smart and skilled he is!) and yet they also develop him more deeply as a character. He's no longer just a menacing figure, he is a character with emotions and motives and that is amazing!
David Lee you forgot another part of the Grinch Evolution how he made in to Universal Studios theme park in a Christmas event titled "Grinchmas".
The original animated version is still my favorite after all these years tbh. But I also adore the Jim Carey version (my uh, unhappiness with some of his personal views aside - good thing my DVD copy is older than some of those lmao).
Speaking of the Jim Carey version, I have noticed that if you were a kid at the time of its release, you’re more likely to love that version. I wonder if we’ll see the same thing happen down the line with the CGI version and the kids who watched that one. Mostly bc I know the adults of now (including myself) weren’t impressed with it and it reminds me of my older siblings and my parents not liking the live action version. Idk, time will tell. :Va
4:00 Horton Hears A Who
4:06 The Cat In The Hat
My family loves the jim carry grinch! They watch it every year and my nephews and nieces watch it even in summer! They watched all three grinch versions but the live action one is the ones they keep going back to! Halloween special was odd. It takes places before christmas but max leaves at the end? Did he come back later or did grinch steal him back? Also grinch knows magic and can even make himself big or small! Where did all that magic powers go in christmas? Hope you can do frosty next year. So many changes over the years. Even before the special! Thanks again for these videos.
I always liked the Grinch.
Great rhymes there Dave,it was greatly done👏
I never knew about the Halloween special or the Cat & the Hat crossover 😂
Rlly good work
Plot twist:Oscar the grouch and the grinch are brothers because they’re both covered in green fur they’re both have a obsession with trash they’re both have a grouchy attitude they’re both are observers of they’re Community they’re both only show’s kindness for kids and they’re both have missing parents

That don't look like the grinch that look like you
Me:😂
Jim Carrey, as the Grinch, in that specific one. Is exactly how I'll imagine the Grinch to be. Jim Carrey is also one of my all time favorite actors, so the role was made for him. Was never a chick Jones art style enjoyer. Everytime one his came on I'd swap channels or just wait till next thing came on.
