New Trailer and Poster for #TheGrinch starring Benedict Cumberbatch – In Theaters November, 2018

This post may contain affiliate links or I may have received the product free in exchange for my honest review. See full disclosure for more information.

Get ready for November – The Grinch returns to the big screen!

For their eighth fully animated feature, Illumination and Universal Pictures present The Grinch, based on Dr. Seuss’ beloved holiday classic.  The Grinch tells the story of a cynical grump who goes on a mission to steal Christmas, only to have his heart changed by a young girl’s generous holiday spirit.  Funny, heartwarming and visually stunning, it’s a universal story about the spirit of Christmas and the indomitable power of optimism.

Academy Award® nominee Benedict Cumberbatch lends his voice to the infamous Grinch, who lives a solitary life inside a cave on Mt. Crumpet with only his loyal dog, Max, for company.  With a cave rigged with inventions and contraptions for his day-to-day needs, the Grinch only sees his neighbors in Who-ville when he runs out of food.

Each year at Christmas they disrupt his tranquil solitude with their increasingly bigger, brighter and louder celebrations.  When the Whos declare they are going to make Christmas three times bigger this year, the Grinch realizes there is only one way for him to gain some peace and quiet: he must steal Christmas.  To do so, he decides he will pose as Santa Claus on Christmas Eve, even going so far as to trap a lackadaisical misfit reindeer to pull his sleigh.

Meanwhile, down in Who-ville, Cindy-Lou Who—a young girl overflowing with holiday cheer—plots with her gang of friends to trap Santa Claus as he makes his Christmas Eve rounds so that she can thank him for help for her overworked single mother.  As Christmas approaches, however, her good-natured scheme threatens to collide with the Grinch’s more nefarious one.  Will Cindy-Lou achieve her goal of finally meeting Santa Claus?  Will the Grinch succeed in silencing the Whos’ holiday cheer once and for all?

Find out, Christmas season 2018.

  • Very Ginchalicious!

  • In this age of streaming and DVDs, I don’t think kids get that same sense of anticipation for holiday movies. How The Grinch Stole Christmas was a favorite.

  • The Grinch has to be my absolutely favorite Christmas story.

  • I’ve been meaning to watch Benedict Cumberbatch’s BBC series Sherlock.

  • I’m torn! I so love the original cartoon and the Jim Carey version, so I don’t know if I’ll be able to like this one!

  • I’ll be looking forward to the new Grinch movie. I’d love to take my nieces to see it in November.

  • I like hat this remake is animated. I am afraid I am one of those old Grinches myself that dislikes he one that was remade using actors, I preferred the older original version. This one looks to be much better. There is something about Suess that lend itself well to animation.

  • I have a hard time with Cumberbach doing the grinch’s voice only because it doesn’t fit what I think the Grinch’s voice should sound like. LOL. But it looks funny and of course I’ll go see it!
