Illumination just released a new trailer for their upcoming animated film, The Grinch. The movie is based on the classic Dr. Suess book “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” The trailer finally shows us some voice work from Benedict Cumberbatch, which unsurprisingly seems a little out of place but it feels like this in every Illumination movie. The movie also shows us the mean spirit personality of the character, along with a forced in pop song and a new rendition of the classic song, “You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch,” which makes me feel pretty sure this is just going to be any other typical Illumination movie.
This is the last Dr. Suess movie we’ll see coming from the Illumination studios, however. Warner Bros. Animation will be getting the rights to the Dr. Suess characters and will make an animated “The Cat in the Hat” adaptation, though there’s been no other information.
Check out the trailer below to see if you’re excited for the new rendition of The Grinch.
