VHS Movie Reviews of Dr. Seuss - Halloween Is Grinch Night
Movie Review: Great for Halloween
Summary: 5 Stars
My review is on the Emmy Award winning "Halloween is Grinch Night", shortened later to just "Grinch Night" for some reason. It's a 30 minute Halloween special that originally aired on CBS in 1977. The Grinch Night story is not well known, but those that have seen it hold a special place for it in their hearts. Obviously not all of the animated specials of Seuss stories have been on the same level as the "The Grinch that Stole Christmas", but they are very enjoyable in their own right. The narrator and the Grinch is voiced this time by Hans Conried. There are two Seuss songs, "He Will Eat Them", and "Grinch's Inches Closer", both hilarious as you might expect.
Without giving away the whole story, you see the Grinch didn't stay good after Christmas and is back to being dastardly and mean. The citizens of Whoville notice the sour-sweet wind blowing and know that it means GRINCH NIGHT is coming. The "Whos" lock up their doors and windows to hide as this wind means that the Grinch is coming to terrify them on Halloween night. A boy named Eukariah decides that the Grinch must be stopped, so he faces his fears and confronts the Grinch and his countless monsters and spooks he has brought to attack the town. It is an enjoyable tale for the holiday.
Dr. Seuss personal influence is always apparent in his specials. He was the Producer this time along with Warner Brothers Studio's Friz Freleng. His original story and artwork comes alive. There is a different, more muted color scheme than most of his other films, but that is mostly due to the story occurring at night and the Halloween theme.
There are about 4 different releases of this story on vhs. This story also appears on a newer DVD with Green Eggs and Ham and 2 other short stories.
Summary of Dr. Seuss - Halloween Is Grinch Night
It's a delightful autumn sunset, when suddenly the sleepy peace of Whoville is disturbedby the howling soursweet wind, signaling the beginning of Grinch Night. Soon the evil Grinch, with detachable, flying eyebrows, glowing yellow eyes, and a penchant for nasty mischief, sets forth with his dreaded paraphernalia wagon to terroize the villagers all of whom are paralyzed with fear. But one brave little boy, young Eukariah, sets out to single handedly save his family and town. Digging deep down inside himself to find courage he didn't know he had, the boy proves to be more than a match for the now not-so-gruesome Grinch, and his spooks, spirits and spectres. Along the way, Eukariah learns quite a bit about facing unpleasant facts, confronting your fears, and taking positive action when faced with a threat. These important lessons are served up with rainbow animation, lively music and insightful lyrics, all compliments of the kids' favorite doctor -- Dr. Seuss!Kids & Family VHS Video
