Summary

  • The 2018 animated remake of The Grinch proves that the franchise can be a commercial success without Jim Carrey in the lead role.
  • Jim Carrey won't reprise his role as the Grinch in a sequel due to his retirement from acting and his preference for creating new roles rather than rehashing old ones.
  • Despite mixed reviews, How The Grinch Stole Christmas has developed a cult following and its merits, such as meticulous costume design and Carrey's performance, make it a great foundation for a potential sequel.
