Universal Pictures recently released the Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) (25th Anniversary Edition) 4K UHD + Blu-ray. Read on to find out more about it...

[ SYNOPSIS ]

Why is The Grinch (Jim Carrey) such a grouch? No one seems to know, until little Cindy Lou Who (Taylor Momsen) takes matters into her own hands and turns both Whoville and the Grinch's world upside down, inside out... and funny side up.

[ SPECIFICATIONS ]

The movie is presented in a 1.85:1 aspect ratio with a runtime of 1:44:58. The movie has been rated PG for some crude humor. Audio languages include English, Spanish, French, German, Italian. Subtitle languages include English SDH, Spanish, Danish, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Swedish.

[ SPECIAL FEATURES ]

All of the content listed below can be found on the 4K UHD and Blu-ray discs, except for the "25 Years Lateer" featurette, which is exclusive to the 4K disc. The included Blu-ray disc looks to be the same one that dates back to 2009.

[ NOTES ]

Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) is available on 4K UHD, 4K UHD Steelbook, Blu-ray, and DVD. This is not the 4K UHD premiere of the film, as it was previously released on the format in 20th Anniversary and Grinchmas Editions. From what I can tell, this new 25th Anniversary Edition gives you everything from those releases, and add the "25 Years Later" featurette; thus making it the (current) definitive release.
