Ratings and reviews

I'm with haselbarth this whole rhyming a variety of words, with another variety of similar words thing is for the birds. Chirp-Chirp. Its seems cute enough at first but it gets old quicker than my uncle's fathers uncle and that's pretty old ...Believe me. Another thing my teacher told me this was a true story. NO WAY. Fool me once...You guys get me. Any Who...pun totally intended. Hope this review helps.

There's a reason why this story keeps getting adapted. It's a fun story for the holidays, and the original adaptation is really good to boot. Always enjoyed watching the on Cartoon Network back in the day. Two other lesser known specials are also included, and while they're not as great as the Christmas special, the one everyone will get this for, they're definitely worth checking out.

This has been a family staple for years. This updated version has additional specials attached and gives us a look at the Grinch on a more day by day basis. Unfortunately, in spite of this version becoming eligible for Movies Anywhere, it has not found its way from my Movies Anywhere account to my Google Play account. Google Play blames Movies Anywhere, and Movies Anywhere tells me Google Play keeps rejecting the title. It has been weeks of emails and support chats with promises of a correction coming, but ... Long on promise, short on results. If you want this in your Movies Anywhere collection, purchase it from another Movies Anywhere retailer. Update April 23rd, just discovered this title shows as Movie Anywhere eligible. It still isn't owned on google Play despite the fact I own it on Movies Anywhere and all my other retailers connected to Movies Anywhere. But at least I finally have some hope that the title will finally be added to my google play collection.
