The Grinch (G, 90mn) Directed by Yarrow Cheney and Scott Mosier ★★★
The third time is certainly not the ideal charm for the adaptation of Dr. Seuss' beloved Christmas tale.
Following in the footsteps of Chuck Jones's beloved 1966 television version and Jim Carrey's curious 2000 take, this film Grinch follows the Illumination Entertainment model a little too close to really inspire.
Although there is a lot of chaos and puns inspired by Seussian taken directly from the original book of 1957 How the Grinch stole Christmasit is sometimes buried under thick layers of schmaltz and predictable animated narratives nowadays.
As Despicable Mewe have an accomplice curmudgeon with a diabolical plan and adorable moppets to change their minds. Borrowed from Sing are the trials of motherhood and the aftermath of childhood trauma, while there are enough scene-stealing animals (some of them are lovely) to populate a brand new The secret life of pets.
Benedict Cumberbatch brings the right tone of cynicism and decades of hurt feelings to The Grinch.

Benedict Cumberbatch reveals that the anti-Christmas character wears clothes adapted to his mood.
For those who do not know the story, she focuses on a hermit with green fur (expressed here by SherlockBenedict Cumberbatch), whose Christmas hatred has grown exponentially over the last 53 years, he lived near the town of Whoville.
"A city like your city, if your city was a dream", the locals are tired of the end of the year celebrations, devoting three full weeks each year to its celebration. But the current mayor's decision to triple his efforts, coupled with a severe food crisis, forcing the Grinch to get to town at the worst possible time, eventually pushed our anti-hero to break his breaking point.
His solution? Get inspired by Santa Claus and free Whoville of all his Christmas presents and accessories from the first hours of the big day. But what he did not count was a little girl with a big heart who is determined to capture the man in a big red suit so she can ask him to help him help his single mother in trouble .
This Grinch follows the model Illumination Entertainment (Despicable Me), a little too close to really inspire.
Despite all its faults, there is much to love about The grinch as entertainment entertaining the holiday season however.
The animation is excellent and will probably not cause half as many nightmares as the grotesque prostheses of Carrey and the company.
Similarly, Pharrell is an entertaining narrator, while Danny Elfman evokes memories of his work with Tim Burton (especially on The nightmare before Christmas) with an eclectic score and soundtrack featuring music by Tyler, the creator and Brian Setzer Orchestra.
And while most Whovillians are not really memorable, Cumberbatch brings the right tone of cynicism and decades of hurt feelings to Grinch (an allusion to Larry David's take).
