Grinch 25th Anniversary Tour, Theatrical Re-Release Announced

The live-action film Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas, starring Jim Carrey, is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a nationwide theatrical re-release on December 12, 2025. Originally released in 2000, the film was a box office success grossing $347 million worldwide, though critics gave mixed reviews due to its dark tone and humor. The re-release coincides with a new 4K Blu-ray edition set for November 11, which includes special features such as a retrospective with director Ron Howard and cast members. The story follows the Grinch, a grouchy green creature who plans to steal Christmas from the Whos of Whoville but is ultimately taught the true meaning of the holiday by a young girl named Cindy Lou Who. The film, produced by Academy Award winners Brian Grazer and Ron Howard, highlights the enduring popularity of the holiday classic originally based on Dr. Seuss's 1957 book. Additionally, the McCallum Theatre in Palm Desert is hosting technical rehearsals and preview performances of a new Broadway tour adaptation of the Grinch musical, marking the first time a major national Broadway tour has used the venue to kick off a tour.
