BRILLIANT! You reject your own nose because it represents the glitter of commercialism. Why didn't I think of that?
Hopefully not too late for Christmas!
An extended cut of Ron Howard's Suess adaptation, of which Mike Myer's Cat in the Hat would later be cut from the same rotten cloth.
The film has been airing for years and years on ABC/Freeform as apart of the 25 days of Christmas, with 10 additional scenes, adding roughly 13 minutes of footage. Some of this stuff on the DVD/Blu-Ray, and some scenes not.
The main subplot added back was the whole lighting contest, which just fell by the wayside in the theatrical cut and forgotten. A bunch of other bits and pieces have been reinstated from the TV cut too, but nothing as critical as the lighting stuff.
2 TV airings have been combined to remove the station logos, a 4:3 airing from 2009 and a more recent 16:9 airing. Neither are HD, so they needed some gentle upscaling and colour work to look decent next to each other, and the Blu-Ray.
I've also done a 2nd version of this edit, using the DVD scenes that don't appear in the TV Cut, but they are in much rougher condition than this. Horribly pixelated and crushed down. Upscaling could only do so much, so it still doesn't look amazing.
ADDITIONS (TV Cut)
- Added Lou maxing out his credit card while shopping
- Added Cindy asking her dad about the Grinch as they pack the car
- Added Loud getting called into school, as Cindy asked about the Grinch
- Extended Post Office pandemonium
- Added the Mayor asking out Martha May
- Extended antics of the Grinch inside his lair, as he talks about being dead inside
- Extended scene of Cindy talking to the Grinch about being Cheermiester and his reaction
- Added the Christmas Light contest, and added alternate dialogue to the scene before to lead into it
- Added the Grinch trying on some extra outfits before settling on his final one
- Added the Grinch participating in the Nog Off
- Extended Present-Pass-It-On scene
- Added sequence showing the Lou Who's getting ready on Christmas Eve
ADDITIONS (DVD Scenes)
- Added extensive sequence of the Grinch causing more mayhem in Whoville during his first visit
- Added Betty and Lou falling asleep as the Grinch lands on the roof
- Added the Grinch breaking a swing that Lou had constructed in another deleted scene
- Added the Grinch almost being caught by a sleepwalking police officer.
Theatrical - 1:44:56
Cheermiester Cut (w/ TV Scenes) - 1:56:33
Cheermiester Cut (w/ TV+DVD Scenes) - 2:02:02
Happy Holidays!
