I like the original & the Jim Carrey version.
I tried to watch the 2018 version & got bored 10 minutes in.
The ads for the 2020 version gave me nightmares.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I like the original cartoon lots. I think it's better than the book, in fact (the animation is terrific, and I love Boris Karloff's narration and 'You're a Mean One Mister Grinch').

Not overly fond of the Jim Carrey one, but it has its charms----------certainly rather watch it than any other modern Dr. Seuss flick (not that that's a glowing recommendation). And I think I made it about forty minutes into 'The Grinch' before giving up.

Max is great. Heck, Grinch is great, too.

...think the best Dr. Seuss-related thing in recent memory is the 'Green Eggs and Ham' show. That thing's a hoot. I mean, it's already good on its own, but then you compare it to some flippin' yuck like 'The Lorax' or 'Cat in the Hat'. Jeepers, man.

I was never a big fan of Dr. Seuss, but I've seen the original cartoon as a kid. It was watchable, but not really my kinda thing.
