DR. SEUSS' HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS 25TH ANNIVERSARY DEDITION
The 25th Anniversary Edition of Ron Howard’s live-action How the Grinch Stole Christmas on 4K Ultra HD is the best-looking and sounding way to experience Whoville. The true star of this release is the upgraded video presentation, now featuring Dolby Vision and HDR10. This High Dynamic Range (HDR) pass corrects the sometimes dull, hazy appearance of previous releases, instead delivering richer, deeper colors that make the famously elaborate Whoville sets truly pop. The reds of the festive decorations and the sickly emerald green of Jim Carrey’s Grinch suit display a noticeable depth and vibrancy.
While the film remains a 2K Digital Intermediate upscaled to 4K, the clarity benefits significantly, revealing impressive texture in the meticulous makeup work and costuming. The upgrade to Dolby Atmos audio also provides a massive benefit, enveloping the viewer with precise object placement for the snow, wind, and the chaotic sounds of the Grinch’s inventions.
For collectors, this edition is a generous package. It includes all legacy bonus features (like the director commentary and "Who School" featurettes) and adds a brand-new retrospective, "25 Years Later: The Gift of The Grinch." This new featurette, which includes interviews with Ron Howard and star Taylor Momsen, is a welcome addition that makes this disc a worthwhile upgrade for fans.
