Since we must choose though, I would say Karloff’s version is the best of the three.Ĭumberbatch’s version is just too nice to accurately represent the character of the Grinch. And Cumberbatch is a modern-day cynic who just wants Christmas to stop getting so big. The child in all of us that never quite grew up. Carrey’s version is a bombastic ball of energy. Karloff’s Grinch is an angry, mischievous trickster. The Grinch, of course, gets the star treatment in all three films and it is hard to choose between the players. As well as which version had the better music, the best production value, and which version tells the story the best? With that said, let’s dive into this festive feast. Today I will compare the different grinch films by breaking them down into categories and analyzing which version did the best job with their portrayal of the Grinch and Cindy Lou. But with so many different versions which one is the best? The Ron Howard directed live-action retelling in 2000, starring Jim Carrey, and 2018’s animated offering with Benedict Cumberbatch in the lead. The 1966 Chuck Jones cartoon starring horror legend Boris Karloff as the titular green menace. The story has received three high profile adaptations over the years. Seuss book about a reclusive grump who wants to steal Christmas is just as inseparable from the modern identity of Christmas as Santa Claus and Scrooge. Christmas is fast approaching and to celebrate, Illumination Entertainment has released their take on the classic Grinch story.
