How the Sith Stole Christmas a vision from the past and sent on an incredible journey through time and space. The film parodies Dr. Seuss's "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" by mixing it with elements of the "Star Wars" films, as well as parodying elements of "The Hobbit", "A Charlie Brown Christmas", and "Citizen Kane". The film has a very distinct and lush look, as Bracewell animated the film himself using a combination of painted backgrounds, painted cutout characters, and 3D animation. The released film is subtitled "Jingle Far, Far Away", and is the first part of a trilogy. A trailer has been released for
How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (TV special) and labeled as a "50th Birthday Deluxe Edition". That labeling refers to the 1957 date of the book's publication rather than to the date of the 1966 TV special. This DVD release featured a new retrospective featurette and contained all the bonus features from the previous release, except for the audio commentary, and the Grinch was restored to his original green color. This edition is also available as part of the four-disc "Classic Christmas Favorites" box set. The special was again re-released on DVD with Phil Roman's and June Foray's audio commentary replacing the "Horton Hears a Who!" bonus special.
