The Grinch is a furry, green creature with a heart two sizes too small. He lives in a cave on a remote mountain, far from civilization. Despite his isolation, he knows everything about Christmas - the presents, the trees, the lights, the songs. He hates it all. One day, he decides to steal Christmas from the Whos in Whoville by stealing all their presents and decorations while they sleep. With a little help from his dog, Max, he manages to pull off his scheme, but it's not quite as satisfying as he expected.
