I recently purchased this DVD and was immensely disapointed with the quality of the transfer. The colors were all over he place with the Grinch appearing as a yellow, then brown and finally slightly green creature. The transfer is terrible. I would not recommend it to anyone based upon this poor quality.

2.0 out of 5 stars the mustard brown grinch on dvd, November 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS DVD (DVD)

I agree with both Chicago, IL and Boston, Ma reviews. The crystal clear DVD viewing of 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas'was great but, WHY is the grinch not in his true green color! There are other greens in the picture so why not the grinch! Very perplexing we thought and it made the viewing very disappointing. WHAT GIVES! I would highly recommend buying the VHS version due to this disturbing error on the DVD version. I suppose the people who like the DVD version don't realize that the grinch in this version is an impostor! Even when he's green on the DVD cover AND main menu screen!

3.0 out of 5 stars The colors would make anyone a Grinch!, November 30, 1999

By	Scott Minos (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS DVD (DVD)

I have always loved this classic Dr. Seuss animated film and awaited its arrival with great anticipation. And while the story is as endearing as ever, I am disappointed that the coloring on this transfer is terrible. The backgrounds are garish and too bright and the Grinch is the color of mustard instead of his true green color shown on the front of the case. In addition, the pencil tests are far too few and do not add any value to the disc. It is hard to focus on the splendid attributes of this title because of its few, yet glaring oversights. My advice is to wait for a better transfer to come out, or perhaps seek out the previous version on dvd which may be of better quality.

". . . Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason. It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight. Read more

The video transfer looked great to my wife and I. These other reviews that say the transfer was all over the place in color must have been due to an older version. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars blu-ray discs are a rip off
This show is not in 1080p as the package claims. I returned it & bought the DVD version and the picture quality is much better and it fits the whole screen.

3.0 out of 5 stars Same old movie...and costs too much
Rally, the quality is not any better than a DVD, and may even be worse. The colors are not great. My biggest peeve is that you get only the 30 minutes of video for the price. Read more

This is a beloved classic, practically ruined by Hollywood in the live-action remake by Ron Howard. But a 26 minute Blu-Ray for $20+ bucks? Read more
