Synopsis:
Jim Carrey stars in the most green adapation of a Dr Seuss book, as the Grinch, a monster who lives to hate Christmas, while a young girl tries to bring the spirit of the holidays back to his heart.
An official extended cut of the film has been airing on TV for years, so I have taken 2 airings of the TV Cut, with added scenes from the DVD to create the longest cut of the Ron Howard adaptation.
16 deleted, extended, and alternate scenes have masterfully restored and integrated into the film, adding back 18 minutes of new footage.

Intention:
Knowing that the extended TV cut was only really avalible in low-bitrate quality, I wanted to make a better version that was watchable without the station logos or TV ad breaks, and felt a little more technically complete, so I thought to make this, with also another version with the deleted scenes from the DVD.

Editing Details:
All deleted scenes from the TV Cut had a station logo in the corner, so I had to combine 4:3 and 16:9 versions of the TV cut to create clean versions of the exclusive scenes. They were then upscaled and colour matched to the 2009 Blu-Ray.
The DVD scenes were also upscaled and colour corrected, and while they were more incomplete, they needed additional music, taken from the soundtrack of The Grinch and Casper, as both films were worked on by James Horner (RIP).

My partner and I watched this for one of our Christmas movies. She loves the original and was entertained by this extended cut.
My opinion is that most of the deleted scenes were well spliced in. Some weren't and had a noticeably lower quality to them. Others had slightly worse colour grading and didn't quite match with the scene before. Personally I think this edit would benefit from slightly rearranged scenes and maybe one or two removed deleted scenes. Otherwise we were very entertained. Sometimes you can only do so much with deleted scenes or lower quality scenes. Overall the movie is still worth watching if only to get a little more Grinch. :)

How The Grinch Stole Christmas is a underrated Christmas movie from my childhood, and I wanted a extended cut of it. When I heard about this edit, I became stoked. I gotta say that this is my favorite Christmas fan edit I've seen.
My favorite scene is the mostly from the Grinch's hideout, and the part where the Grinch stole the Mayor's watch to impress Martha. The lighting contest seems to expand upon the rivalry between Cindy Lou Who's mom, and Martha.
I like how the station logos is removed, it makes the scenes look straight out of a official Blu Ray.
