The trailer for The Grinch has arrived and before you say, “another Grinch movie,” just watch this teaser and I dare you to not smile at least once and perhaps laugh a few times!
Why, pray tell? First and foremost, Benedict Cumberbatch (most recently seen in Avengers: Infinity War) voices the titular Dr. Seuss created holiday hater and it’s a case of casting made in heaven. The man was born to add his vocal prowess to the legendary character that has made it his mission to steal Christmas since Seuss invented him all those decades ago.
Another reason this particular Grinch deserves your attention? It arrives from Illumination Entertainment, the folks who brought us Sing, Despicable Me and The Secret Life of Pets. Those cats know a thing or two about crafting animated gems and, in their hands, expect envelopes to be pushed for a story that you think you know.
One more thing grabbed us with this latest Grinch trailer and that is that Tyler, The Creator has penned a new theme—based on the classic track from the iconic TV special and will be contributing music throughout the film as well.
Look for The Grinch to enhance your holiday when it lands in theaters November 9.
