Songs such as Welcome Christmas and the iconic You’re A Mean One, Mr Grinch compliment the story and get the Christmas juices flowing.
The musicĪ welcome addition to this on-screen adaptation is the inclusion of music, some of which was used in the original 1966 cartoon version of the story. Snowy mountains act as a backdrop to this seasonal tale and everything from the set to the facial prosthetics are based on the designs from the original Dr Seuss book, making the visuals even more magical.
The festive visualsĮvery scene in the film is located in the otherworldly town known as Whoville, which just happens to be filled with residents who have an overwhelming love of all things Christmas. Jim also manages to balance slapstick humour, which appeals to the younger audience, with more mature punchlines, making this Christmas film perfect for the whole family. Although the clever rhyming dialogue originates from the Dr Seuss story, the genius of Jim Carrey is what brings this classic storybook character to life.Ĭarrey, who you might be surprised to learn is in fact the man behind the green prosthetics, perfectly displays his over the top humour and bizarre physicality throughout the film which transforms this somewhat evil character into somebody the audience can laugh with.
