Director Ron Howard reflects on the enormous responsibility of bringing Dr. Seuss's beloved How the Grinch Stole Christmas to the big screen. He draws parallels between this project and Apollo 13, noting how everyone involved went above and beyond because they felt the weight of doing justice to iconic source material. Howard discusses Jim Carrey's passionate and inspired approach to the character, describing the Grinch as an "arrested adolescent" who's neurotic from years of isolation. The conversation explores the film's themes of over-commercialization, disenfranchisement, and what happens when cultures lose sight of the true spirit of occasions like Christmas. Howard explains how modern fables like Seuss's work tackle serious emotional ideas through whimsical, fantastic storytelling.
