The Grinch

 




                                                   The Grinch. 



                               MY FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME. 

   I know this isn't an animated movie but it is a legendary Classic 

   Christmas movie beloved by the whole world.

  • On a tiny snowflake floating through the air, exists the town of 
  • Who-ville, home of the Whos. The town is joyously preparing for 
  • the coming of Christmas.

    However, of all the Whose, a little girl named Cindy Lou Who is 
  • feeling depressed, and not at all in the holiday spirit. When her 
  • brother and his friends return from climbing Mt Crumpit and 
  • claim they saw the Grinch, Cindy Lou grows curious as to the 
  • Grinch, who she learns does not like Christmas. While in the Post 
  • Office with her Father, Cindy takes some mail to a backroom, and 
  • finds the Grinch trying to cause havoc in the mail room. The 
  • Grinch scares her, and causes Cindy to fall into the mail sorting 
  • machine. To her surprise, the Grinch rescues her.

    Cindy then decides to investigate more into the Grinch's past, 
  • and interviews several people, including two elderly women who 
  • cared for the Grinch, as well as town socialite Margaret May-Who 
  • and the Mayor, both of whom were classmates with the 
  • Grinch. From the information she collects, the Grinch as a child 
  • actually liked Christmas, and even had a crush on Margaret. 
  • However, the Mayor as a child, taunted the Grinch about this. 
  • The Grinch tries to create a hand-made present for Margaret and 
  • shave off his facial hair, but the bad shaving job causes the class 
  • to laugh at him, finally causing him to hate Christmas. After that, 
  • he ran away to Mt Crumpit. As Christmas approaches, the Mayor 
  • announces the upcoming Who-bilation, where the town 
  • nominates a Cheer Meister. While the Mayor looks forward to 
  • another unanimous vote for himself, Cindy requests that they 
  • nominate the Grinch, feeling he deserves it the most.
  • With enough votes, Cindy gets the Grinch a nomination, and 
  • climbs up Mt Crumpit to deliver it to him. The Grinch does not 
  • believe her at first, but reconsiders when he finds out he'll be 
  • receiving an award, and that Margaret May-Who will be 
  • attending. The Grinch agonizes over the decision to attend 
  • (partly believing this is a trick), before appearing to the Who's.
  • While at first apprehensive, the Grinch appears to be getting into 
  • the Christmas spirit, until the Mayor proposes to Martha May-
  • Who, and offers her a car. The ostentatious gift rouses the ire of 
  • the Grinch, and he then begins to wreck the celebration, causing 
  • mayhem and burning down the Christmas tree. Cindy feels 
  • terrible that her plan to make the Grinch feel better has been 
  • ruined, and the Grinch returns to Mt Crumpit.

    The Grinch feeling worse then ever, decides that this year, he'll 
  • stop Christmas from coming, by dressing as Santa, and stealing 
  • it. Fashioning a sled, he and his dog Max return to Who-Ville, and 
  • make off with all the gifts and festive trimmings. Taking 
  • everything to the top of Mt Crumpit, he plans to drop it all over 
  • the edge. Back in Who-ville, everyone is sad and distraught, with 
  • the Mayor blaming the whole thing on Cindy for inviting the 
  • Grinch. Cindy's father proclaims that he actually is proud of his 
  • daughter, because he's seen that Christmas is not about 
  • presents and decorations, but about being together. Soon a 
  • number of other Who's join in and begin singing.
  • This sound causes the Grinch to pause, wondering how they can 
  • be so cheerful. As he watches, the emotion gets to him, and his 
  • once shrivelled heart grows 3 sizes. The Grinch then returns the 
  • presents to Who-ville, and apologizes for his misdeed. At the 
  • same time, Margaret May-Who tells the Mayor she is rejecting 
  • his marriage proposal, and that her heart belongs to the Grinch.
  • In the end of the movie the Grinch carves the Roast Beast in his 
  • cave with the town of who-ville, The line I love in the end is The 
  • Grinch asking, who wants the gizzard, too late that will be mine, 
  • then they all live happily ever after. I am so glad they never 
  • made a part to or anything cause I think it would ruin the 
  • success and legend of the story but I am all for people making 
  • there own version of the story as long as it is done tastefully but 
  • in my eyes no one will ever be as good as Jim Carry as The 
  • Grinch.

                                  Tom and Jerry: A Nutcracker Tale . There are so many versions of the Nutcracker but not all of them are  created equal, some are down right bad but this one is one of the best  ones you will ever see plus who doesn't love Tom and Jerry. There movie  proves why they have been a staple in family homes since they came on  the cartoon scene. The animation and story are perfect they fit well  together and if you know me that is a deal breaker, if they don't match  or  fit together they wont work but this one is perfect. So, with that, lets  get to the story shall we: Jerry  and his nephew  Tuffy  watch the  Christmas   ballet  in  New York   City  while a group of cats, including  Tom , sing a song for the Cat King in  an alley overlooking the  Empire State Building .

                                          Rudolph's Shiny New Year. I loved this movie cause they went threw the years past and then to the  present and the story is amazing and the animation is spot on with the  Rankin/Bass movies. They follow the baby new year that is afraid of  people making fun of his huge ears and yes people laugh but they laugh  cause it brings them joy not to make fun. This is another classic movie  every one should see. So, with that, lets get to the story shall we: Just after delivering Christmas presents from around the world the  events depicted in the last scenes of  Rudolph the Red-Nosed   Reindeer ,  Santa Claus  receives a letter from his friend  Father  Time  asking  for help to find Happy the  Baby New Year  before midnight  "the 12th bong" on  New Year's Eve ...

This is a short of Olaf's first minutes of being alive in the movie Frozen  and it is a masterfully well done story by Pixar, the animation is perfect  and it goes very well with the story as it should. You can find it on  Disney+ right now. So, with that, lets get to the story shall we: During   Elsa ' s song " Let It Go ",  Olaf   the snowman is brought to life. Before he can do anything, however, she releases her cape, which flies and knocks him down the mountain side until he crashes into a tree.
