Two different versions of the same beloved Christmas story have just been added to Netflix, with the magical tale already available to stream at no extra cost
Netflix has just treated its viewers to two cherished adaptations of a classic Christmas tale, each unique yet equally adored.
An unlikely hero, hailed as one of the most memorable Christmas figures ever created, is portrayed by two major Hollywood stars in these films. While the beloved children's book was first animated in 1966, it was the 2000 live-action movie starring Jim Carrey as the infamous green curmudgeon that really captured audiences' hearts, becoming a cult classic over the last twenty years. One fan even professed on Letterboxd: "I legitimately and without any shred of sarcasm or irony think that Jim Carrey deserved an Oscar nom for this.
Empire magazine weighed in: "Despite labouring under about three feet of latex, Jim Carrey still comes across loud and clear in this adaptation of the Dr Seuss poem. It's also rather funny, Carrey improvising away despite all the big-budget shenanigans going on around him." "It's hilarious and it has absolutely stunning animation. Don't listen to the haters, give this a watch."
