Halloween Is Grinch Night (1977 TV Movie)
1/10
This isn't a classic for a reason.

Aka "Halloween is Grinch Night", there is no Halloween atmosphere at all. So its second name is a misnomer, which is sad, considering a good solid infusion of Halloween standards would have helped this cartoon immensely. The descriptor that wind is blowing, thus signaling the coming of the Grinch, is quite accurate. But there are no haunting chills, no build-up of impending scares, no anticipation of any thing wicked this way comes... just boring song after boring song telling you the Who's are scared. The animation is the same as any other Dr. Seuss animation, which, (tho nostalgic) is not a good thing by today's standards. If you show this with enthusiasm to under-20s, just know that it will be another check in their check list verifying that yo are old. As for under-7s, they like anything, so go for it.
