Hello everyone! Happy Blogmas! I know my 13 Days of AHS did not pan out as expected... but this year I would really like to do all 25 days of Blogmas... I already wrote my blogs for the next 3 days... we have some more movie reviews... but I decided to start on the most recent movie released and the one that is definitely the best out of all the movies: Illumination Studios The Grinch.
So I'm a pretty big fan of Illumination to begin with. I feel like they're a little underrated... Compared to studios like Disney, Pixar and Dreamworks which have been around for years... Illumination is newer and it hasn't had as many hits. I love Despicable Me, I love Sing... I've never seen Secret Life of Pets or The Lorax... but still. They have good stuff.
I think this movie is the most impressive animation that the Studio has done. Whoville looked really magical and christmasy... the characters were all super super cute... Cindy Lou Who and her friends were adorable and I cried every time Max was on screen because he was just so cute and he reminded me of my own dog. It was very beautifully done.
One thing that I liked about this movie was that it was really simple. I do really like the Jim Carey Grinch movie- but that has a lot of backstory and kind of how he became The Grinch... which I think is really nice for a Live Action movie... but I'm glad they didn't go that deep into it in this cartoon. They actually did a little more backround on Cindy Lou Who- which I thought was really great and pretty cute.
They had Pharrel Williams was the narrator of the movie- and I thought he did a great job. The voice cast was really good too. Benedict Cumberbatch sounded like he had a lot of fun being The Grinch... and it was just a really good pick. I think he was kind of sarcastic and funny... but you could also see that he did have a heart and his heart just wanted to grow.
Overall- this movie is definitely worth the ticket price... it's really cute and I feel like it is a holiday classic. I would watch this maybe even a little more often than the Jim Carrey version... although I do have to say I really love all versions of The Grinch... and I have a lot of fun reading the book to my niece.
So that is everything! I hope you guys like it!
Bye!
