The Grinch that stole Christmas is an iconic story about a green, cantankerous character who lives in a cave and despises the holiday season. The Grinch's heart is two sizes too small, and he resents the joy and cheer that Christmas brings. One fateful Christmas Eve, the Grinch steals Christmas from the town of Whoville, only to learn that Christmas isn't about the presents or the decorations, but the love and kindness shared between people. With the help of a little girl named Cindy Lou, the Grinch's heart grows three sizes that day and he returns the gifts, saving Christmas for the town.
