Why is the Grinch such a grouch? No one seems to know, until little Cindy Lou Who takes matters into her own hands and turns both Whoville and the Grinch's world upside down, inside out, and funny side up in her search for the true meaning of Christmas.
This movie scared the buh-jesus out of me when I first saw it as a kid. As an adult, however, it has become a traditional watch that may-or-may-not be constantly on repeat in December. The humor in this version captures two (or more) types of sarcasm. It's one of those movies that seems to get better with age. Give it a go, and see what you'll be referencing the next time you're dressing for a night out. ( )
This story is about a grinch who hated everything about Christmas. He went around and tried to kill everyones Christmas spirt. As you read the book you will see how his attitude changes. ( )
Adds a lot of extra material to establish Whoville's materialism and expand on characters. I could only make it half-way through, so cheesy. The script did include a narration of Seuss's original poem but the animated version is better. ( )
This classic book is about the Grinch and his evil doings to ruin the Christmas of Whoville. I think this book allows students who celebrate Christmas to genuinely appreciate the holiday. It is also good to introduce this book for students who can share an understanding of Christmas without those who celebrate about Jesus Christ.
Inside a snowflake exists the magical land of Whoville. In Whoville, live the Whos, an almost mutated sort of Munchkin-like people. All the Whos love Christmas, yet just outside of their beloved Whoville lives the Grinch. The Grinch is a nasty creature that hates Christmas, and plots to steal it away from the Whos, whom he equally abhors. Yet a small child, Cindy Lou Who, decides to try befriending the Grinch.

The Grinch: All right, you're a reindeer. Here's your motivation: Your name is Rudolph, you're a freak with a red nose, and no one likes you. Then, one day, Santa picks you and you save Christmas. No, forget that part. We'll improvise... just keep it kind of loosey-goosey. You HATE Christmas! You're gonna steal it. Saving Christmas is a lousy ending, way too commercial. ACTION!
[Max knocks the red nose off]
The Grinch: BRILLIANT! You reject your own nose because it represents the glitter of commercialism. Why didn't I think of that? Cut, print, check the gate, moving on.
The Grinch: The nerve of those Whos. Inviting me down there - on such short notice! Even if I wanted to go my schedule wouldn't allow it. 4:00, wallow in self pity; 4:30, stare into the abyss; 5:00, solve world hunger, tell no one; 5:30, jazzercize; 6:30, dinner with me - I can't cancel that again; 7:00, wrestle with my self-loathing... I'm booked. Of course, if I bump the loathing to 9, I could still be done in time to lay in bed, stare at the ceiling and slip slowly into madness. But what would I wear?
The Grinch: [shouts] Hello?
Echo: Hello.
The Grinch: How are you?
Echo: How are you?
The Grinch: I asked you first.
Echo: I asked you first.
The Grinch: Oh right, that's REALLY mature, saying exactly what I say.
Echo: ...Saying exactly what I say.
The Grinch: I'm an idiot!
Echo: You're an idiot!
The Grinch: Am I just eating because I'm bored?
Who Father: Hey, Honey! Our baby's here. He looks just like your boss.
The Grinch: Now you listen to me, young lady! Even if we're *horribly mangled*, there'll be no sad faces on Christmas.
The Grinch: Nice kid... baaad judge of character.
Grinch's Answering Machine:If you utter so much as one syllable, I'LL HUNT YOU DOWN AND GUT YOU LIKE A FISH! If you'd like to fax me, press the star key.
Mayor Augustus Maywho: They nursed you. They clothed you. Here they are! Your old biddies!
The Grinch: Are you two still living?
The Grinch: One man's toxic sludge is another man's potpourri.
