From 1966 to 2018, Ranking All Three 'Grinch' Adaptations

From the iconic 1966 television special to the 2018 computer-animated remake, The Grinch has become a Christmas story that’s almost unrivaled in popular culture.

If this Grinch-centric holiday spectacular doesn’t get you in the Christmas mood, nothing will.
