PLOT: The story is based on Dr. Seuss’s 1957 classic children’s book How the Grinch Stole Christmas! High atop Mount Crumpit lives the Grinch, a bitter, green, misanthropic creature who hates Christmas and the cheerful residents of Whoville. Unlike the original book, the film dives deeper into the Grinch’s backstory, showing how childhood bullying and longing for acceptance led to his isolation. Determined to silence their holiday cheer, he disguises himself as Santa Claus and schemes to steal all the presents and decorations from Whoville. However, his plans are challenged by a kind-hearted young girl named Cindy Lou Who, who believes there is good in him.
