Everything Great About The Grinch

[00:11] Grinch Stole Christmas TV special. Sneak in Welcome Christmas into the score. But From skiing birds to flying birds and then the reveal of Whoville in under a by the beauty of this place. Past the place that you come from is a town like

[00:26] your [music] town. if your town was a dream. Also, Fel's smooth voice as the narrator always surprises me. Not mad at it. Other than probably making me barf, this. And this ankle smashing risk and all. While rad at sled based public

[00:41] transit sounds pretty rad, too. Highspeed rail turbo bob sled. And while we're still at it, actually, no. And you know why? Cuz I was always the kid chunks. Snowball fights always look like more fun in the movies. Although, yeah,

[00:55] this is good. And there's just so much going on. The dog running in place. This sailboat wasn't going in the water today. This cat sneaking up to steal some fish. I mean, you know that at Cinema Winds corporate headquarters, we

[01:08] off more details like all of the Grinch's multicolored no trespassing signs complete with backups, his climbing gear, the home stay home sign, and some suspiciously festive decor with the red hallway runner, green coat rack

[01:21] with candy cane scarf, and also one Mallister home level furniture coloring. love me some Xmiss jams, but sometimes we're all the Grinch. Every bell is for

[01:35] different sizes, so Max will know where the Grinch is. Ingenuity. More details. drawers, so there are scratches around the poles. the poles. >> 39.

[01:50] movie so well, even if it's hard to beat the OG. Although honestly, the blue when you have enough friends. Excellent advertising. And I'll be pointing this Grinch is way more affectionate with Max, and it helps his eventual turn feel

[02:03] more realistic. Also, Max is a super mega cutie deluxe, so obviously Grinch books are aces. Cooking for one and microwave suppers. >> I specifically bought enough food to last until January. How much emotional

[02:17] >> I like that. 6 minutes in, the Grinch is aware enough to know that he'd be eating the reason why. This was the moment I knew I was going to love this film. The a little sad and relatable. And then Max's little side eye and noise says it

[02:31] all. >> I am not going to Whoville during Christmas? >> Fine, but I'm going to despise every is legit. He was ready to starve until he considered Max. It could be his head

[02:47] wasn't screwed on just right. Honestly, the most satisfying neck crack in a like a Tim Robinson idea, and they're definitely going on my Christmas list. the best additions because Donald Ducking is just weird if you really

[03:00] >> Remember, Max, this is the time of year when the Who's are at their most >> Max loves his buddy, but he's not falling for any of that anti-hoopaganda. The Who's have maximized efficiency in all facets of life. Oh, by the way,

[03:13] all facets of life. Oh, by the way, Cindy Lou forgot her hockey stick. >> Great response from her seat buddy and also accurate. Ask any nurse or anyone face here is so wonderfully creepy. He was watching for the kid's sadness.

[03:28] was watching for the kid's sadness. >> Folks, and merry Christmas. >> Folks, and merry Christmas. >> I mean, pretty quick thinking. always been my favorite little part OF THE MOVIE.

[03:43] if this would probably freak me out. Getting a real sharks and jets vibe you probably get that reference. [music]

[03:55] pace speeds up the pace of the song as well. Also, hoos of mean, but this is the first time they really show us that the Grinch is kind of not a good guy. His love for hoo- hash is his most relatable trait for me.

[04:10] >> Definitely going to start saying sugar plum instead of all the curse words I know. Like crap and dang, shoot. The real nasty stuff like that

[04:23] >> Oh no, I'm going to miss the mailman. SHORTCUT. and needing a shortcut cuz it just isn't quite cutting it.

[04:42] sliding backwards in the snow is perfect. Probably shouldn't have sugar plumbed up that kid snowman. Gum ovens. >> How did that get in there? >> Hey, I'm sorry if I made you uncomfy. We all got to keep the gray away.

[04:54] >> Fun fact, a gray Grinch would give us a sort of book accurate Grinch. But either gray away. I've personally been looking forward to being a silver fox since my teens. However, both of them could use a little help blending cuz it does look

[05:06] chocolate, which now that I say that out loud, I think that's actually a good thing. >> I myself use chocolate explosion. Woo! Oh man, Mr. Grinch. >> Never change, Bickle Bomb. Also, die or

[05:18] not, that's a beautiful beard. Genuinely gorgeous shot. And now, safe in his cave and apart from the fray, he reminded himself. >> It is better this way. I've always felt a little bad for the Grinch in all the

[05:31] makes me sad in a in a good way. Good bad. And something about him being clearly understands companionship. He's just got trauma and doesn't know how to analyzing the Grinch? Eh, whatever. Give it a win. [singing]

[05:49] >> Amazing timing on the landing. >> What do you want to do today? >> Everything about Max's dream day is perfect. Especially Lou has mambo number perfect. Especially Lou has mambo number five. [music]

[06:03] French Canadian heritage, but no, I am saying it because Selen Deion rocks. is a drummer. >> All right. All right. I'm sorry. You're

[06:16] >> I really do like the expansion of the Grinch character in this film. He's hurting his feelings. Benedict Cumberbatch really nails that line sweetie. but a bad drummer. >> And sometimes it's important to say the

[06:28] and head jerk is amazing. >> Bad drummer. tree. >> Welcome to the annual tree lighting

[06:43] >> Rest in peace, Angela Lansberry, knowing we all immediately recognize your iconic voice. Max's binoculars. That's the win. >> Here you go. I hope your big brother gets what he deserves. >> They never do, but one day. one day.

[06:56] >> What I can't sell, I can always eat. >> Entrepreneurship. >> She acts like she's fine, but I know it's really hard for her. compassionate awareness for a kid. For me, it took having my own little fuzzy

[07:08] dad went through raising three bottomless food pit soccer playing boys. cute. >> So, I figured if anyone could fix that, it'd be Santa. >> Wow. And I just asked him for a turtle.

[07:21] >> Grouper is a little out of his depth here. I know. I wish I could see the look on their faces. >> I'm starting to think that the Grinch doesn't actually understand what Max is saying.

[07:33] >> The timing is impeccable, and the fact that it's a wide really shows us the And now we know that giant ornaments for Halloween costumes. It's like dreams and nightmares I've had all rolled into one.

[07:47] He walked through the crowd and the sound and the lights. Look, I know that trauma, but anyone with social anxiety has experienced this feeling where the are just too peopleley, and the hair is just too well backlit. Sorry, I got lost

[08:01] in the animation for a second there. >> That lost lonely boy, isolated and sad. No mom and no dad. >> But I was not prepared for how cute origin story. And as he watched other

[08:14] kids, one thing became clear that this was the single worst day of the year. So Makes sense. That's why we have that saying, hurt Grinches hurt Grinches and saying, hurt Grinches hurt Grinches and who's classic saying

[08:28] [music] [singing] get in here since it was in the original B written for the TV special. All right, that's somehow cooler. >> Why for 53 years I've put up with it.

[08:43] He's 53. Good for him. Grinch's workout routine. We always love to see movies. >> I'm going to steal their Christmas >> with close-up magic >> for tomorrow. We begin.

[08:59] >> Oh, I'm saying that because the lightning turned his layer black and >> Genius starts with the abs, Max. >> What Santa have that I don't? >> That's hurtful. Plenty of debate around

[09:13] parents. Don't get mad at me. I didn't say it. Max is the one that's ice cold. wish we had from Whoville was these skiing birds. Such a wonderfully ball was just the correct weight for their pulley system to get into their

[09:27] treehouse. >> Red suit, white beard, always in a jolly mood. That's not going to happen. >> Knowing thyself, it perfectly recreates the mating call of the reindeer. the hell.

[09:40] You know it's coming and it still lands. And the sound is ridiculous, but just believable enough so the joke doesn't feel hacky.

[09:52] chomping on the Grinch. Watch and learn, Max. A lot of funny stuff happens in these 28 seconds, but by far my favorite is that the Grinch hat he dropped covers his eyes, and it's still covering them as the Grinch is

[10:05] pulled away. Fred is the best. Is that a hint of a smile on the Grinch's face? key. >> And what about you, Aussie? Remember

[10:19] >> All right. All right. Okay. >> I like Azie, but he definitely took care of someone, right? And Cindy Lou helped wrap things up. You know, she cleaned up getting that vibe, right? >> I did it because you're my friend. And

[10:33] means it matters to me. That's beautiful. thrown for a loop by her loving sincerity. And of course, Groupert Groupert might be the only true to life nine-year-old.

[10:46] >> All right. See you. >> See you guys in the morning. >> All right. They're all pretty real. >> This is the loudest snow I've ever heard >> Which feels accurate. Doesn't snow get louder at night? Temperature drops. Ice

[10:59] crystals form on top. Plus, nighttime is generally quieter. O, those Grinch feet. also lives in a snowy climate? Little Frito smelling snowballs. >> Who taught Mabel how to use the doorbell? Man, that's awesome. You smart

[11:12] >> Prickle Bomb taking everything at face value is perfect. Dude, it's just pure positivity and good vibes. >> Mabel is delivering cakes now. I mean, is this the best Christmas or what? >> We all know that's a dream snuggling

[11:24] situation. And we all see that smile. The Grinch is obviously a big old softy, but letting someone take all the covers, that's the ultimate sacrifice.

[11:45] >> I mean, did the Grinch technically even need Max for this? Is it just to let him the Grinch shows genuine concern for Max. This sausage is in the snow. Max. This sausage is in the snow. >> What are you doing?

[11:59] >> Grinch doesn't judge. You do you, Fred. >> Discipline. We must >> Max thinks he's getting one, too. Also, cookie trap shadowing.

[12:17] >> No, Grouper. Cookies are for clothing, and you clearly don't have clothes. Man, deep and layered joke, but really it's just bad. It stays in. Grinch duck lips want in my head. Not much in an animated film can make me clench, but I think we

[12:32] all know what sliding out of control on ice feels like, so I clench. Of course, Max is loving it. [sighs] >> It's okay, Fred. This version of the Grinch is basically

[12:44] Rebecca in season one of Ted Lasso. All around pretty great person minus the one thing that is really not great. Someone needs to do a deep dive into baddies like the Grinch Schweily Coyote Gru, obviously Robotnik, and why they're all

[12:56] I think it says something about engineers, but Brian from Real Engineering is a sweetie. I swear I've only heard him discuss World Conquest beautiful go-go gadget beard. >> I think you're the best dog a Grinch

[13:10] could hope for. >> I could watch 30 minutes of Max reacting heart. >> Max, you will guide my sleigh tonight. See, Max is game for anything. Unlike some people who say things like, "Lee,

[13:26] not going to set off fireworks in the I'm pretty sure that's what marital vows are for. Whatever. It's cool. I'm fine. that is. But I can only assume it was from that bird themed gift song. The

[13:38] Whoville version of Daisy Head Maisy. Clearly a Dr. Seuss book. Either way, >> I don't know. Sometimes you just get lucky. reflection noticer king, they're both reflected in the window and the golden

[13:51] reflected in the window and the golden window handle >> But determination. It's too bad he hates Christmas because with all the gadgets

[14:05] presents. Seriously, those would be the best Christmas present ever. Maybe for Hope Santa took notes during this movie. >> All this excess and nonsense. It was all about greed, about meaningless stuff that they didn't even need.

[14:18] already has the knowledge of where this is headed, but doesn't know it yet. >> Selfdiscipline >> and a sleepwalking h. >> Filling the glass is just plain helpful. You're not fooling anyone. You'd lovable

[14:33] Christopher Gringle, you better be taking notes. Our guy is out here >> Indeed. >> Huh? Oh, what the heck? He breaks his one rule and it all falls apart. To be fair, that is like the Taj Mahal of

[14:46] tree? >> One of the lights wasn't working, so I and see if I could fix it. >> Well, he thought up a lie and he thought it up quick. All right. And a stealing Christmas montage with genius inventions

[15:00] is the fastest way to learn a valuable lesson about humans. Or actually, >> Everyone wants presents. >> No, no, really, I don't. I want you to help my mom. >> You want me to help your mom.

[15:12] >> You make people happy. Everyone should be happy, right? >> Such a simple concept, but powerful to hear nonetheless. >> I wish you could celebrate with us tomorrow. We all get together and sing.

[15:25] tomorrow. We all get together and sing. So beautiful that if you close your eyes goes away. >> Well, if that's the outcome, then talk in its entirety. Hugging. Well,

[15:38] mommy. >> He didn't steal Christmas. He just stole >> Based Donna who as a longtime lover of stuff, I have to admit she is correct. >> And the luscious sound swelled, reaching up to the skies, and the Grinch heard

[15:55] with his heart, and it tripled in size. >> All the soft moments with Grinch and Max have really made this moment land in a special way. He's not evil, heart size notwithstanding. He's just a sad guy who got ripped off by life.

[16:13] but actually a sweet and lonely dude. So, obviously, they wanted to come check in on him for Christmas. Also, teamwork. You came back. Adult friendships can be tough. Way to figure it out, you two. Is that the horn of Gondor? Actually,

[16:27] Is that the horn of Gondor? Actually, no. That's from Gladiator. >> It was me. I stole your Christmas. >> Just owned up to it like a boss. That's

[16:40] now good guy. >> I'm so very sorry for everything. >> Not nomads. [music] I need to be alone. >> Unfortunately, this movie's Rebecca know there's something worse than being sad, and that's being sad and alone.

[16:57] >> I have no shame in these tears. >> That's going to get old. >> That's how you know it's a good present. >> Dinner's at 6. Don't be late. And make >> Generosity. >> Thank you for inviting me. I I wore a

[17:10] to seem like grown-ups and nobody is doing a very good job of it, which honestly should be comforting. We're We're trying. like that he does actually ring the doorbell. He's a loner who clearly has

[17:23] social anxiety, so a dinner party probably sounds like a nightmare. Making just that a huge step for somebody like me. Him. Somebody like him, the Grinch. Or apparently just Grinch since that's his name in this one. My name is Grinch.

[17:36] >> I'd like you to meet my friend the Grinch. saying Mr. Grinch, and now Cindy Luhoo is switching back to it as his title. >> Mr. Grinch. >> Are you messing with me? Movie. The win

[17:49] all three. He's the Grinch named Mr. Grinch. Grinch. >> It don't count if you don't hug back, buddy. the time to earn it. So, hugging. >> This is my first Christmas dinner. what

[18:03] >> Look, I know it's all a sweet moment, but listen here, little lady. He wasn't what to expect and if he'll need to give a speech or do a dance or swear a blood is. We just like to be prepared. Do you mind if I say something first?

[18:18] conquer your fears. >> But now I see that it wasn't [music] Christmas I hated. It was being alone. That little realization like Brickle Bomb wondered if he could have done more >> to kindness and love, the things we need

[18:33] >> What a transformation. Fun fact in the book, The Grinch Wasn't Green. It's one of my favoritist FUN FACTS. [screaming] Best Grinch movie ever. Scott Moer, like Kevin Smith Scott Moer, huh? There's the real twist. Look at our guy using his

[18:47] telling me is that Cindy Lou's Santa wish was granted by the Grinch and his inventions. Yep, that's that's what I'm seeing here. I'm not crying this time. like Fred. All I really remember about the Jim Carrey version is being creeped

[19:01] action. There I said it. Maybe I'll do it one day. I know it has its own greatness. But then you've got the book and the 66 special. And this movie, man, in my mind. I've been kicking this less than a live horse all video, but I've

[19:14] than Benedict's. He's like an alien trying to solve this problem he thinks bunch of totally incorrect assumptions. And one thing that's definitely way in the weeds, but you can read Bicklebomb's little twinge of sadness as him

[19:27] the Who's and needed a totally different approach. Needed a totally different think we all tend to go through life assuming that at least at a base level, accordingly. I mean, social media has disabused much of that notion, but like

[19:42] not even cuz when I find someone doing something crazy online, the comments square one. Anyway, the curtains are very likely 100% blue. BB the Chocolate was sad. But hey, this is one of the many things I love about movies. There

[19:56] kids and adults alike. Margot went through a fixation on this movie last quite a few times, and it's not on the list of kids media that makes me want to tear my eyeballs out. Much like Blueie. And even if you've only heard of Blueie,

[20:10] Lindsay Ellis has a fantastic brand new video all about Bluey adults. It might be her most relatable video ever for me. Not because I'm a Bluey adult. I I have children, you see, so I don't I don't have to identify as one. Anyway, it's a

[20:22] different from other kid shows. And I felt very seen as both a parent of this theme song stuck in my head for weeks,

[20:37] signing up with my link, which gets you 50% off an annual plan or 40% off a lifetime membership from $500 down to $300, which is kind of an insane deal. of Lindsay Ellis's videos, as well as all of my videos, including my last two

[20:52] seem to show up in kids movies, and one exploring why comedic actors are often dramatic roles. Oh gosh. Also, the dinner plan is finally out. I feel like now it's [music] finally live. We can watch it. And now that Nebula offers a

[21:06] watch it all because remember, you also get to watch Amy's Dead End Dreamhouse, 7,294 seasons of Jet Lag, I assume, and so much more. Plus, if you're getting tired of squinting and wondering whether the video you clicked on is rage bait AI

[21:19] on Nebula at all. Well, technically Lindsay does mention some AI Coco Melon up by typing this exact [music] URL into google.com or just click the little box google.com or just click the little box right here and join the fun.

[21:38] commenting, even your requests. It does help me decide what to do next. I'm again in February. Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and I'll see you in the happy holidays, and I'll see you in the new year.
