Netflix Adds Two Grinch Films to Library

Netflix UK has added two beloved adaptations of Dr. Seuss' classic Christmas tale, 'How The Grinch Stole Christmas', just in time for the holiday season. The 2000 live-action film, starring Jim Carrey, became a worldwide hit, earning over $345 million and setting a record for the highest opening weekend for a Christmas film at the time. The 2018 animated version features Benedict Cumberbatch voicing the Grinch, alongside an ensemble cast including Rashida Jones and Angela Lansbury. Both films center around the Grinch, a character known for his disdain for Christmas, who ultimately experiences a change of heart. The Grinch has been recognized as one of the most iconic Christmas characters, ranked second only to Kevin McCallister from 'Home Alone'. The addition of these films complements Netflix's extensive library of holiday content, enhancing the festive viewing experience for subscribers.
