Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Dr. Seuss's original artwork lights up the screen as Walter Matthau narrates this Christmas classic. The Grinch has a wonderfully devious plan to stop Christmas from coming to Who-ville, but he soon discovers that, with or without all the trimmings, Christmas arrives just the same. Original music and Walter Matthau's gruffly lovable style make this a holiday treat for the whole family to treasure. Plus: If I ran the Zoo Join zookeeper Gerald McGrew for a hilarious visit to the McGrew Zoo, when you'll meet some of the craziest creatures ever dreamed up, including a scraggle-foot Mulligatawny and a tizzle-toped Tufted Mazurka.

2.0 out of 5 stars Beware - this is not the version you are familiar with!, November 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: How the Grinch Stole Christmas!/If I Ran the Zoo: (Parents' Choice Award for Multimedia) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Yes, it's the Grinch, but an old one. No songs, jerky animation etc. This is an old version of the Grinch who stole Christmas; not the one that you are probably familiar with that is regularly shown on TV. Just a heads up!

This review is from: How the Grinch Stole Christmas!/If I Ran the Zoo: (Parents' Choice Award for Multimedia) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is NOT the one!This is more horrible than home video and is so poorly done it should be removed from circulation as it confuses the buyer into thinking it is the cassic animated video. You will be sorry if you buy this! Get the other one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not what it appears to be., December 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: How the Grinch Stole Christmas!/If I Ran the Zoo: (Parents' Choice Award for Multimedia) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video is not the classice animated feature. It is a collection of still photos, captured on video, with a voice over.
