Did we really need another film version of the festive Dr. Seuss story? Well probably, as the bloated 2000 Ron Howard adaptation with Jim Carrey was so bloody awful.

This one’s a CGI animated film from Illumination Entertainment, who previously adapted Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax with mixed results, and are best known for the Despicable Me flicks. Benedict Cumberbatch voices the Christmas-hating furry verdant person, but the 1966 Chuck Jones cartoon remains the definitive version, not least because it has the benefit of zipping through the slight story in just 26 minutes.

Deckchair seating will be available on a first come, first served basis for this free outdoor screening organised by Big Screen Bristol. Bring your own blankets. Go here for further details.
