I don't care what anyone says. Morrison's grinch is absolutely the most sinister grinch ever put to screen. Find me any other iteration that disses my couch with as much evil confidence as him.

The best thing about the Grinch at both the Universal parks, it’s the fact that he’s the anti meet and greet character. He’s not meant to be a cute and cuddly like a Disney character. He’s unapologetically mean, whenever he interacts with the guest. Which makes him such a very entertaining character.

Jim Carrey’s so perfect as the Grinch he doesn’t even need the make up to do the grinch smile

Fun Fact. When my brother was in high school, they were doing Seussical for the spring musical and they needed someone with a deep voice for the grinch. Well one of his friends was in the show and told the director that my brother had a really deep voice and they casted him 😂 also he had never acted before but he did a great job

Interesting, you didn't mention that the 1st Grinch with the big yellow eyes suit actually made appearances during Halloween Horror nights in 2002-2003 when they didn't allow anything scary to happen in suesslanding except the grinch lurking around the fog looking like he was enjoying the Halloween fun. So he was technically around for longer and technically counted as a scareactor

I got to see Stefán Karl Stefánsson (Robbie Rotten from Lazy Town) as Grinch in Detroit, a few years before he passed away. He was amazing for the role, and embodied every crazy Jim Carrey aspect there was! He had joined (what I believe was) a national tour of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, at the time.

Dan! My man! After years of asking and begging and pleading for you to cover the Grinch, you FINALLY gave me exactly what I wanted for Christmas! THANK YOU!

Honestly, Japan’s Grinch costume kinda gives me Disney Chibi vibes.

We can all agree that How the Grinch stole Christmas is a real Christmas Classic.

Good to see you're also part of the "Never done Seussical but absolutely adores it and is begging to be cast in it somehow someday" club

Lou Zealand is such an underrated muppet, I wanna see how he changed if he did through out the years.

2:43 I love ❤️ puppets!

"Heel" in the context of the Grinch song is probably referring to the pro-wrestling term for "Bad guy wrestler".

The grinch is one of my favorite fictional characters ever created! And also my favorite cosplay that i’ve done. I’m don’t know why but he’s just so fun!

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch!

*Dan proceeds to get cast as Gertrude McFuzz in an upcoming production of Seussical*

12:04 My high school did a production of Seussical a while back. The kid who was supposed to be the Grinch was just wearing a Santa suit without the beard, but no face paint or anything green, so for half the show, you've got all the Whos in the chorus with their wild hairstyles and matching outfits, and then there's just this beardless Santa Claus in the back.

Can you please cover on the evolution of the character of Quasimodo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame as a costume character at the Disney theme parks and onstage in Berlin, California and New Jersey?

I’ve actually met the actor who played the Grinch 12 or 13 years ago after the show. He’s name was Stefan Karl Stefansson, he was famous for the nick jr. Villain in Lazy town “Robbie Rotten.” Sad he died couple of years and that was the one thing I can treasure forever.

2:32 I have never felt more proud than right now knowing I am in a Disney Dan video! This is what he must have felt like when Disney Dan was in the D23 video for Figment. I do have to tell you though, it’s The Chirldren’s Theatre in Minneapolis, MINNESOTA not Indiana.

Disney Dan to Elmo evolution next

I got to see The Grinch on Broadway when Gavin Lee was in it and he was FANTASTIC like LITERALLY PERFECT he blew me away 💚✨

I love that Kenny edited the Grinch head on MJF.

You forgot to mention that Dr. Suess's How The GRINCH Stole Christmas (2000) won an academy award for best makeup.

3:33 and 14:39 idk why these parts got me cracking up😭💀💀 and 7:17 why they hitting each other? 😆😆 and since you mentioned it, for #thisisthemuppITwechoose maybe Snuffy, Elmo, or Telly?

I love the grinch so much. I want to go back to universal during the holidays just to meet him and get to see that snark in person! PLEASE MAKE THE BOOTLEG GRINCH VIDEO HAPPEN

0:59 I don't know what's weirder. 1. Seeing MJF with a Grinch face or 2. Seeing MJF is a DIStory video.

He's a great Dr. Seuss character for Christmas, but he's still a fictional anti-social character for meet and greets for guests at Universal theme parks. I grew up watching the 1966 Chuck Jones directed animated TV special on DVD, parts of the live-action 2000 film starring Jim Carrey (as I have yet to see it in full), and the 2018 CGI animated film produced by Illumination (the last latter of the 2 distributed by Universal Pictures).

YES THE GRINCH!!!!

I like the Grinch! He's one of my favorite Christmas characters!

Love your video. As a Minnesotan, I do have to correct you in that it was in Minneapolis Minnesota for the 1994/95 musical. Not Indiana. Still great work in this video!

#MuppetsElmolution trust me there’s a lot of history

12:20 Fun Fact: One of the Grinch actors in this particular production is none other than Stefan Karl Stefansson famous for his character of Robbie Rotten in Lazytown

0:19 ACTUALLY, I won tickets to go see the Grinch Musical this November from a Local Radio contest. Was PHENOMENAL!

16:09 The new Grinch walk around costume looks cute. 😀😀😀😀😀😀

I really hope that if and when me and my family ever go back to Universal Studios during December that we could meet The Grinch. Also, Jim Carrey’s version of The Grinch is my all time favorite version of The Grinch! I specifically remember going to see that movie in theaters with everyone on my mom’s side after we had our Thanksgiving dinner that night.

I love the Grinch

#ThisIsTheMuppITWeChoose Cookie Monster! He's always been my favorite Muppet, because he's so hilarious and adorable, and I also love cookies, so I kind of relate to Cookie Monster. I'd love to one day see evolution videos for Will Vinton mascots [The California Raisins, Domino's Pizza The Noid albeit you'd have to include other Domino's Pizza mascots for the video as Noid's costume didn't change too much.] Back to Grinch, I love the Hersheypark Costume the most, and I agree that the live musical was upsetting [mostly due to the bathroom humor IMO]. Grinch is one of my favorite holiday characters, but my all-time favorite holiday character is Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer. I personaly connected to his story, and his shiny red nose makes him unique! I like that Rudolph was adapted a lot, though I did notice that after Rankin-Bass, there was a lot less adaptions of the Rudolph story. Goodtimes being the exception, but the Goodtimes Rudolph movie wasn't good IMO. Also, Santa's reindeer, including Rudolph, have rarely ever been portrayed as actual caribou and that kind of annoys me, as caribou are really pretty too. But they're almost always portrayed as white tailed deer instead of caribou. On a different note, I'd like to one day see a video on the obscure Disney Park walkarounds, including The Black Cauldron, Treasure Planet, Atlantis, and Gummi Bears characters! There's very few pictures of the Taran walkaround, but he seems to have the same fun chaotic energy Peter Pan has. As for The Gummi Bears, I'm shocked Disney barely does anything with them considering how successful the show was. Speaking of the show, Cavin looks suspiciously similar to Taran.

Cool!!! Do one for Snoopy or the Warner Bros. Gang.

I LOVE the Grinch but I was still surprised that you didn’t mention “The Mean One” hahah.

Grinch is a mean one, but makes a really cute heel.😡🧶🎅🚫🎄🎁

As someone who does not jave much holiday cheer this year... I needed this video 💗

#ThisIsTheMuppItweCHOOSE Please Do Oscar the Grouch, or Gonzo, I love Fraggle Rock...this is my Sophie's choice. Seriously the next cats I get might be named Animal, Dr. Teeth and Zoot. They are ALL the best. SWEETUMS, oh or Mr. Snuffleupagus!

It’s so cool seeing an event from my hometown, the Springfield museum has this awesome statue with the all the characters. It’s a staple to go see the dr Seuss section

I positively loved this video, thank you for brightening my day once again. #ThisistheMuppITwechoose please, please do an evolution on Statler and Waldorf.

I love the grinch so much and it’s so cool everyone knows of him- he’s a classic!

When the Grinch is not ruining Christmas, He just likes to goof off in the lair with Max.

yet another amazing disney dan video and right in time for the holidays!! also, much love to kenny, everytime he references twin peaks my respect for him increases 10x lol

Fun fact, the Green Fozzie puppet was the older Fozziewig from MCC painted

Fun fact. All the music from the animated special, including mean one were written by the guy who played Mr. Sherofsky in FAME.

At my old school we did suessical the musical jr and I was in it and I was so much fun!

Minneapolis is in Minnesota, not Indiana. They still put The Grinch production on every season!

I got the chance to play the Grinch in a show of Seussical and it was the most fun i have ever had in a role the Grinch shall hold a special place in my heart. Great video Dan!

The coolest thing so far this season is The Grinch podcast on Wondery.

One of my favorite interactions with the Grinch happened in March 2012 at Islands of Adventure. Me and my family were waiting at the old stage behind the one fish two fish ride which was the old location of the Seuss show, and a few characters including the Grinch came out before the show started. While we were talking and interacting with them, I challenged the Grinch to a staring contest. He gave a look like "Dude, you know I can't blink right?" but he accepted my challenge and of course he won. That moment was very funny to me and I remember it often!

Evolution of: Rowlf, Elmo, Zoe, Telly, Bert, Ernie, Fraggle Rock characters, Bear In The Big Blue House, Bullwinkle, Rocky, Beetle Bailey, Fievel Mouskewitz, and other retired Universal Studios Orlando walk around characters, Alvin and The Chipmunks, Gus the Groundhog, Toucan Sam, Tony the Tiger, Sonny the Cuckoo Bird, Sam the Eagle, Rizzo the Rat, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, Horace Horsecollar, etc. 🎬🎬🎥🎥🎥🏰🎢🎢🎡🎡🎡🎡🎠🎠🎠📺

You should do the evolution of the TMNT costumes

Me casually waiting for the seussical mention 😂 I actually been cast as Horton and it's such a great show to sit in a tree and do nothing for half the show!

Merry Christmas, Danny-Boy-o!

I love your videos!!

I would also like to note that during more recent years, The Jim Carrey Grinch at the Universal Parks wear a more Seuss-esque Santa outfit instead of the original outfit, which is similar to the traditional Santa outfit.

12:24 YOOOOOOOOOOOO THAT'S PATRICK PAGE!!! nice

The first Grinch looks like a green Grimes lol😂😂😂😂😂😂

Can you do a Scooby-Doo costume history next please? There is a ton of history with the mystery solving doggo!

So cool can you do Hershey kiss next please

I just realized that you look exactly like dream finder omg 💕 and that just warms my heart.

"Yellow shoes!!" 😂😂😂 Aw, I miss Foolish Mortals Podcast 💔

By the way, can you please talk about the evolution of The Cat in the Hat on your channel?

Who doesn’t love the Grinch, lol. Good video! Bonus points for mentioning the obscure animated Dr Seuss shorts where the Grinch meets the Cat in The Hat and the Grinch Halloween special, and even more bonus points for mentioning The Wubbulous World of Dr Seuss!!! (you can clearly tell I have a passion for anything Seuss lol, I went through a full on Dr Seuss hyperfixation that went for two years) Also I’d love to see a Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem muppet history! #thisisthemuppITwechoosr

i wish I had taken a picture but I walked into a burlington one time and had a surprise. Ok so for starters I already expected something due to the squad cars and a trailer parked outside the store, but walking in I did NOT expect to see the grinch just holding onto a shopping cart staring soulessly at the door while officers were just hanging out and chit chatting. It was the jim carrey makeup and it was incredible, ofcourse because the actor (?) was standing as still as possible I actually wasn't sure it WAS an actor until their eyes moved. To this day I have no idea what exactly the story was or why it was in one random burlington coat factory. And here I thought finding the mickey at the main attraction plushes was the most incredible find. Also I did find three of those mickeys on that same trip I didn't get a single one during their drops but thanks to burlington i'm getting close to having a full collection its amazing

The inconsistencies between the costumes & looks of characters between Universal Studios Hollywood & Universal Orlando Resort has always been so strange! Disney's characters all look identical regardless of park or resort or country. The Grinch looks quite different between Orlando & Hollywood!

The Universal parks Grinches are my favourite. Definitely saw a video of one fully biting into an onion. Absolute madlad.

This is quite The grinchy video lol , it’s so Crazy we have entered the Grinchverse 😆 Also Love the puppets

I love this video so much! I love the grinch💚💚💚

One time, Universal Orlando had a Character Breakfast in Islands of Adventure. They had Cat in the Hat and his two Things, Spider-Man, and the fursuit Grinch as featured in the parks pre-Carey Grinch. I think Spider-Man got more attention than the Seuss characters.

I’ve seen the musical in San Diego so many times. It is so good.

I love what you do

Awesome video

I perform as a princess and would LOVE to collab with Disney Dan as oaken from frozen 😆

AW yeah he a mean one Mr Dan

With you know green eggs and ham guy don't you mean Sam I am 😂

#ThisIsTheMuppItwechoose Animal.

Jim's Grinch has an iconic look it and I know Jim had problems with the costume and makeup (he describes it as torture) but that's what happens when you get Rick Baker on board given that Rick Baker is an Oscar winner (the very first Best Makeup Oscar was given to Rick and invented because of An American Werewolf), who has over 7 awards for Best Makeup, and the park's makeup is 100% accurate to the movie (including the Who's, the Mayor included, their Mayor looks and sounds so much like him, you could have sworn that was Jeffrey Tambor himself). And also yes, yes...Stefan Karl was a fitting choice for stage grinch considering Robbie is very much like the Grinch (he even dresses up as Santa in a Christmas special).

I love this Dr. Seuss character!

I grew up seeing The Grinch every year at the Old Globe. Made the first 5m wild. I recognized all the casts!

Jim Carrey's/Universal is the best and most entertaining, but also looks the best. The 2018 animated/ Hershy kiss costume is adorable, but it's not what I think of when I hear the name Grinch. I grew up with the original, but the Jim Carrey version is the most iconic and impressive.

4:44 okay im a tripping or is that Vanessa Hudgens? edit: never mind. Just had to keep watching lol

The grinch and other Suess chats are also featured on carnival cruise ships. They have a whole green eggs and ham breakfast and a Suess parade for kids to participate in.

Oooo exciting 😊

the Present Day Grinch in the thumbnail looks like a mascot for a brand of cold medicine

Animal drum drum drum!!!!👹

Seussical is one of my favorite musicals! Would love to see Dan in it, he'd make an excellent Horton or General Schmitz.

I got Grinch peppermint mocha coffee creamer this year. Also, I'd love if you did a video on the Mr. Quimper puppets from puppet productions.

I didn’t know the Grinch had a TikTok but I did know he currently has a podcast called ‘Tis The Grinch Holiday Podcast

you should do the evolution of animal from the muppets

I need that bootleg Grinch costume video injected into my veins!

coooool

I wish I could've seen Gavin Lee perform as the Grinch when he did that one time kinda recently.

A heel is old-timey slang for a low-down person with no honor. There's some debate about whether it derives from comparisons to the heel of a shoe (the lowest one can get on the human body) or the end of a loaf of bread. But it basically means someone is a jerk.

I honestly love that you consistently call Mickey Mouse “Yellow Shoes” 😂
