It really goes to show the talent that Jim Carrey has as an actor. I'm sure that Grinch costume was extremely restrictive, but his Grinch is almost more expressive than the animated ones. Contrast that with Mike Myers' Cat in the Hat, where The Cat emotes like he has daily botox injections, and you really start to get a picture of how much Carrey put into his performance.
