Fact: if you scroll up & down really quickly, you can develop epilepsy.

This movie reminds me of Home Alone; when Kevin is in the limo and is watching it then as the Grinch smiles it cuts to Tim Curry and they have the same smile.

p.s. I haven't seen this movie but I love the colours (and the big caps).

A few days ago I was at a bookstore and I looked through a Dr. Seuss anthology and was surprised that the actual storybook is just done in three colors--after seeing the animated version, I'd gotten so used to seeing the Grinch story played out in really bright, vivid colors.

Odd indeed! My memory of this was of very bland, simple colors, like his books, but this is all BAM! TECHNICOLOR! all up in da hizouse.

LOVE the bright colors of this! I don't remember them being so bright when I watched it as a child. O.o

It's so beautiful in screen caps!

Same here. I love the stills I picked. It was hard to only take the 100 or so I took :) Almost every scene was beautiful.

Oddly enough, I watched both of those just the other day, right before I capped this :)

My favorite will always be Rudolph and the Island of Misfit Toys (the old Claymation one, not the new CG animated one.)
