Since we're all still in Christmas mood, here is my comparison for both the 1966 animated short with its live action film made in 2000.
1966 Animated Short
This animated short that started it all! I love the vibrant and how colourful this animated cartoon, it's whimsical animation style will make you love this cartoon and Dr. Seuss, his artwork fascinates people even in today's generation, the theme song 'You're Mean One, Mr. Grinch!' has even been covered in the TV series, 'Glee' that I could not get it out of my head after listening to it recently.
2000 Live Action Film
When this film came to Malaysia, I watched it on the big screen and I'm very convinced with Jim Carrey's portrayal of the title character! He has previously played 'The Joker' (correct me on this) and 'The Mask' from Batman and the Mask respectively, I really salute him as a comedian!
James Horner did a wonderful musical score once again, and the song 'Where Are You Christmas' performed by Faith Hill is very touching and memorable.
Merry Christmas!
Which do you choose? Do you also know that there will a 2018 reboot starring Benedict Cumberbatch? So, you're the judge for which version do you choose and Merry Christmas to you all!!!

Here is my Top 5 Worst Television Christmas Specials List:
*5. The Simpsons in Miracle On Evergreen Terence (1997), Because it is very mean-spirited, the ending is a downer, and the title is very misleading.
*4. Futurama in The Futurama Holiday Spectacular (2010), Because it is more like a Halloween Episode than a Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa episode.
*3. Family Guy in Christmas Guy (2013), Because Peter Griffin and Carter Pewdeschmidt are very unlikeable jerks in this Christmas Special.
*2. Dexter’s Laboratory in Dexter Vs Santa Claws (1998)
*1. Teen Titans Go! in The True Meaning Of Christmas (2015)
Dishonourable Mentions:
*King Of The Hill in Mrs. Wakefield (2004)
*Here Comes Honey Boo Boo in A Very Boo Christmas (2013)
*Horrid Henry in Horrid Henry’s Christmas (2006)
