Dr. Seuss' the Grinch (2018)

                                                       Dr. Seuss' The Grinch (2018).

• In the town of Whoville, the Whos are eagerly anticipating 
• Christmas. However, just north of Whoville on top of Mount 
• Crumpit, there lives The Grinch , who hates Christmas and the 
• thought of seeing the Whos so joyful. He lives alone with his 
• faithful dog Max. The Grinch gets ready for breakfast, only to 
• discover that he has completely run out of food due to excessive 
• emotional eating. This forces him to make a trip down toWhoville 
• for some groceries. As the narrator  notes, it's not quite known 
• just why The Grinch is the way he is. It could be that his head 
• wasn't screwed on just right, or that his shoes are too tight, but 
• perhaps the biggest reason of all was that his heart was two 
• sizes too small.
• 
  The Grinch takes Max into town where he acts mean toward the 
• Whos, and then he runs away from a group of carolers. As he 
• gets his food, elsewhere in town, we meet Donna Lou Who , an 
• overworked single mother to Cindy Lou  and twin boys Buster 
• and Bean. Cindy Lou heads out with a letter to Santa Claus for a 
• big wish she has, but she ends up running into The Grinch. He is 
• mean to her as well, implying that she is, like the rest of the 
• Whos, greedy and demanding for stuff from Santa. After he 
• leaves, she manages to retrieve her letter.
• On his way back to his cave, The Grinch runs into Bricklebaum , 
• the jolliest Who in Whoville, and a major thorn in The Grinch's 
• side. Bricklebaum puts up his Christmas decorations, which The 
• Grinch calls an eyesore. Bricklebaum explains that the Mayor  
• wants Christmas in Whoville to be three times bigger this year, 
• which only makes The Grinch feel worse. He returns to his cave 
• and sits alone, feeling that it is better for him this way. 
• Meanwhile, Cindy Lou plans to deliver her letter to Santa 
• personally by walking to the North Pole until Donna tells her that 
• it would take her a month to do so.
  
  Later, a gigantic tree is flown into Whoville to be lit that night. 
• Annoyed, The Grinch sets up a catapult to launch a massive 
• snowball to knock the tree down. That night, the Whos gather in 
• the town square as the Mayor is set to light up the three. Cindy 
• Lou gets her friend Groopert  and tells him that her wish to Santa 
• is that he send help to her mother because Cindy Lou can see 
• just how tired Donna is from all the hours she works and caring 
• for Cindy Lou and her brothers. As the Whos get ready for the 
• lighting, The Grinch prepares his catapult for launch, only for it 
• to roll down the hill and drop the snowball, then launch him 
• toward Whoville. The Grinch inadvertently lights the tree and 
• falls in the middle of the crowd. This triggers a painful memory 
• in him where, as a child, he was always alone, especially around 
• Christmastime, and that's why he hates the holiday so much. He 
• retreats back to Mount Crumpit and hatches a plan with Max to 
• steal Christmas from the Whos.
• The Grinch's plan involves becoming Santa Claus and following 
• his methods to a T so that he can get in and out of Whoville with 
• ease. He takes Max to find reindeer to pull a sleigh, but when 
• they reach a whole field of reindeer, they are scared away by a 
• screaming goat. The only one left is a fat reindeer that The 
• Grinch later names Fred. After Fred joins The Grinch and Max, 
• The Grinch heads into Whoville to steal a sleigh from the roof of 
• Bricklebaum's house, but not without dealing with his crazy 
• guard dog first. He also uses a flying device to send Max into 
• town to get a sense of how many houses he will hit, only for Max 
• to get distracted by sausages and get sent flying back right into 
• The Grinch. Cindy Lou gathers Groopert, plus her other friends 
• Axl, Izzy , and Ozzy , to discuss her plan to give her wish to 
• Santa, and that is by staging a trap for him. She manages to 
• convince her friends to help set up the trap and test it out with 
• Groopert, but it just tears his Santa suit off and leaves him nude.
• The Grinch teaches Fred how to pull the sleigh, but just as they 
• are walking out in the field, they spot two other reindeer who 
• turn out to be Fred's mate and child. The Grinch knows what's 
• going on, and, without a fuss, he lets Fred go, lamenting that it's 
• just him and Max again. It is the night of Christmas Eve, and The 
• Grinch tasks Max with pulling the sleigh. They wait until all the 
• Whos are asleep before heading down to make their move. The 
• Grinch hits all the houses using his gadgets, stealing trees, 
• presents, decorations, lights, and food. The very last house he 
• hits is none other than Cindy Lou's house. He sees a cookie and 
• decides to take it, which triggers her trap that she set. Cindy Lou 
• hears the trap going off and she rushes downstairs to meet the 
• man she thinks is Santa. The Grinch manages to fool her and 
• convince her that he is taking her tree to fix a light on it. Cindy 
• Lou then asks him to grant her wish to help her mom, which 
• touches The Grinch since he sees that Cindy Lou isn't selfish like 
• the way he perceives the Whos. The Grinch leaves Whoville with 
• Cindy Lou's words still ringing in his head. As the sun rises on 
• Christmas morning, The Grinch reaches the top of Mount Crumpit 
• to watch as the Whos wake up and see that all of their Christmas 
• things have been stolen. Cindy Lou tells Donna she feels this is 
• her fault because she trapped Santa, but Donna assures her 
• that's not true. Soon, the Whos all join hands and sing "Welcome 
• Christmas", which perplexes The Grinch until he closes his eyes 
• and takes in the joy that the Whos have despite all their stuff 
• being gone. It makes The Grinch realize that they find happiness 
• in each other and not their material items. It even makes The 
• Grinch's heart grow bigger. Suddenly, the sleigh starts to slide 
• off the edge of the mountain. The Grinch grabs onto it and tries 
• to hang on using a grappling hook, but that only causes the cliff 
• side to crack. Before The Grinch plummets to certain doom, he is 
• saved by Fred and his family, who are helped by Max to pull The 
• Grinch back up. He then rides the sleigh down the hill to return 
• everything to the Whos. He reveals himself as the one who stole 
• Christmas from them, and he apologizes for what he did before 
• walking back home. Later that day, Cindy Lou visits The Grinch 
• and invites him to go to her house for dinner. Although a bit 
• hesitant, The Grinch brings Max to town where they join Cindy 
• Lou's family and other guests from town, including Bricklebaum. 
• Everyone gathers for dinner, and Donna offers The Grinch the 
• chance to carve the rare Who roast beast. The Grinch gives a 
• small speech in which he admits that he never hated Christmas, 
• but rather the feeling of being alone on the holiday. And so, The 
• Grinch delivers a toast, to kindness and love, the things we need 
• most. I love this movie a lot, the animation is so perfect and the 
• story is amazing, I know I will be watching this forever and 
• never get tired of it.
