Ron Howard's classic, 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' starring Jim Carrey and Taylor Momsen may have released nearly 20 years ago, but the film adapted from the iconic Dr. Seuss book has managed to steal viewers' Christmases every year since (pun intended).

The movie became the second highest-grossing holiday film of all time until the third adaptation of the movie — an animated version — overtook it and 'Home Alone' when it released in 2018. Even so, many prefer the 2000 live-action version.

With the 20th anniversary of the release of the film coming up next year, fans hope Universal Pictures and Ron Howard will help address an issue many of them have — to release the uncut extended version of the movie.

The movie as released runs for 105 minutes, that is, 1 hour and 45 minutes, however including the deleted and extended scenes that were released on the DVD extend the length of the movie goes up to 2 hours and 15 minutes.

Tom Sinclair, an ardent fan of the movie has started a petition with this in mind asking the producers behind the movie to consider releasing the extended version.

He writes on the change.org page, "I've been a big Grinch fan ever since I saw the film when I was 5 years old and fell in love with it. This movie influenced me to become a film director."

Tom would like the studio to release a director's cut with the deleted and extended scenes put back into the film — scenes like where the Grinch wreaks havoc in Whoville using a marble and one where Lou Lou Who is called into a parent-teacher conference because Cindy Lou Who wanted to do a report on the Grinch.

There are quite a few who have already signed a petition, with one supporter writing, "Me and my husband love this movie and own it but there is at least a couple of scenes that should have stayed in the movie, would love to see a version with it."

Perhaps, much like how 'Titanic' was re-released in 2017 for its 20th anniversary, Universal Pictures and Ron Howard could consider doing the same for the beloved Christmas movie in its extended version — and perhaps even a little something more featuring Jim Carrey.

We need a director's cut of "The Grinch" for the Grinch fans out there. It's a great Christmas movie classic of 2000. I've been a big Grinch fan ever since I saw the film when I was 5 years old and fell in love with it. This movie influenced me to become a film director. When I was 6 I used to watch the behind-the-scenes sections of the DVD over and over again. I loved to see how movies were made. That why this film means a lot to me. Now I'd like to see all the deleted scenes put back in the film to make it an even greater film for all the fans out there. ron howard has say his first cut of the film was 4 hour long. There is about 1 hour of footage or more that never made it into the final cut. We want to see on the extra footage that on tv network abc freeform version on this .we would love to see a new bonus features on bluray with new commentary with jim carrey and taylor momsen and maybe gallery of pic behind the scenes and original storyboards and concept art . A lot of grinch fans want to see more of of the film never before seen.

For one thing, there is no uniformity in how they are titled. On IMDb, for instance, the 1966 original cartoon is titled "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!," and the 2000 Jim Carrey version is titled "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." Did you catch the difference?

Why does Grinch say 53 years?

In the story, the Grinch laments that he has had to put up with the Whos' celebration of Christmas for 53 years. As both Thomas Fensch and Charles Cohen note, Dr. Seuss was 53 when he wrote and published the book.
