Performer: Original Soundtrack/James Horner
Engineer: David Marquette Producer: James Horner; Simon Rhodes Distributor: Universal Distribution Notes: Original score composed and conducted by James Horner. The soundtrack to The Grinch, Ron Howard's live-action adaptation of Dr. Seuss' classic Christmas story The Night the Grinch Stole Christmas, features excerpts from James Horner's score and pop renditions of favorite Christmas songs. Though a more typically quirky composer like Danny Elfman would have been a more obvious choice to score an off-kilter fantasy like this, Horner's compositions manage to strike a good balance between edgy humor and sentimentality. Of the Christmas tunes, Ben Folds Five's "Lonely Christmas Eve," the eels' "Christmas Is Going to the Dogs," and Busta Rhymes and Jim Carrey's duet on "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" are the standout tracks, but songs by 'N Sync, Smash Mouth, the Barenaked Ladies, Faith Hill, and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra add an appropriately eclectic, whimsical touch to the soundtrack. ~ Heather Phares Jim Carrey turned out to be a natural for the screen role of Dr. Seuss' famed Christmas villain, and the film's accompanying soundtrack makes good use of contemporary pop to spice up the proceedings. Where else would you find a duet between Carrey and rapper Busta Rhymes ("Grinch 2000"), or a rocking Christmas tune from Ben Folds? Even the notoriously gloomy Eels get into the spirit of things, with the sardonic "Christmas is Going to the Dogs." Elsewhere, stars of every stripe, from Faith Hill to 'N Sync offer Grinch-specific tunes, which are interspersed with snatches of dialogue from the film and some appropriately wintry orchestral themes from soundtrack king James Horner. Whether you're in it for the Seuss tale or the big-name country, pop, rock, and rap performers, you'll never look at Christmas the same way again after experiencing HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS.
