This short was a belly-laugh-out-loud experience from beginning to end. Fabulously creative premise. This film delighted audiences in the 2010 Seattle Truly Independent Film Festival. A great gift to anyone any time of year.

For some great Seattle short films order:

5.0 out of 5 stars Jonathan Harris rides again!, January 11, 2011

The final work of Jonathan Harris is a bittersweet remembrance of the consummate character actor, threaded onto a slightly naughty tale of Christmas. You can hear the joy and amusement as Jonathan growls and smirks his way through a retelling of the Grinch that delivers the nuts and bolts of this delightful short animated film.

An added bonus is the addition of a scene featuring Bill Mumy, Marta Kristen and Angela Cartwright, the first and only collaboration between Harris and his former Lost in Space costars. Tress MacNeille contributes her voice to the film as well.

This is a work of love both by John Warlaw and his team and the actors. Bawdy without being raunchy, fun without being forced, this is a DVD that should proudly sit on the shelf of fans of Lost in Space, animated short fans, Christmas film fans and of course, fans of that Chuck Jones cartoon that Wardlaw so gently and loving skewers.
