You know, I've never actually seen the cartoon version. I've seen the Jim Carrey version a couple of times...it was entertaining enough and there were a few good laughs, I suppose. Can't say I have anything against it.
I assume that giving the Grinch an extensive backstory to explain why he hated Christmas so much was merely a means of extending the story to fit the 80-odd minute running time, which was always going to be tricky given the fleeting nature of Suess's original. At any rate, they did a MUCH better job with the padding than did the live action version of the Cat in the Hat - admittedly not saying much. I'm curious to see how they're going to cope with the task in the upcoming animated feature, Horton Hears a Who.
