How the Grinch Stole Christmas: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (2000 Film)
After all these years of seeing the movie in theaters, on home video, and on network TV (specifically ABC Family), I have the soundtrack. This time, it is all about the music from, and written and composed for, the movie. Unlike some soundtrack albums that come in multiples--in other words, songs on one CD and the instrumental score on the other--this album holds the Jim Horner score AND the songs by popular artists.
As a matter of fact, the whole time the music is playing I can't help but picture and imitate scenes from the film; or at least the scenes where the song or score comes in. Although the dialogue "Christmas Means More" comes before the score, "Change of heart," I still picture them both coming together like in the film. This does not mean it isn't good to hear the score by itself with no characters speaking. Because it is. If I have to name some favorites, then I will say I got this album because of "Green Christmas" by Barenaked Ladies and "Lonely Christmas Eve" by Ben Folds. "Grinch 2000" was an unexpected pleasure, really. Some say Jim Carrey didn't do so well with the Grinch parts, but I say he did his best and that's all that matters. "Christmas is Going to the Dogs" by Eels just makes me think of Max "having a holly jolly Christmas," while the Grinch is away. And who can forget "Christmas, Why Can't I Find You?" If I had a kid sister, she would love it so much that she would want to sing along...especially on Christmas Eve or earlier. All in all, it's a decent yuletide album, and it works perfectly with no dragging or anything.
