Ohhh...
A hole in the mountain
was once home to me.
You can guess
who I lived with.
Starts with a G.
We lived up in a cave
and Who's live below in a
village called Whoville.
Oh, there's some! Hello!
Hello!
Every Who down in Whoville
liked Christmas a lot!

I'm sorry, English.
Have you noticed?
The Who's they like
Christmas a lot?
But the Grinch who lived
northward of Whoville
did not.
(ominous music)
.
(suspicious music)
Oh, sorry, I'm just
looking for a snack.
So the Grinch lived up
there and the ice
in the fog and I lived
there with him.

Oh...
And I found a new owner,
or rather he found me not
the best or the sweetest.
Well, you'll soon see.
It's beginning to feel
a lot like Christmas.
(ominous music)
[Grinch] What did you say?
It's a wonder I
didn't just run away.
Has my hearing gone weird
or my head may be broken,
but it seems to me, Max,
that you may have just
spoken.
I just meant
that I'm feeling a lot
less listless because
it's beginning to feel
like.
Like what, Max?
Ignore me, sir.
It's a sickness.
I hate Christmas,
the whole
frolic-some season.
And I'm sure you must
have a cast iron
good reason.
I despise Christmas Eve
and I loathe
Christmas Day.
I pooh-pooh them
in every possible way.
I abhor Christmas trees
and I scorn every wreath.
And I hate
all the who's down
in Whoville beneath.
Especially you.
At home,
Look at you.
Stop grinning.
We're not here
to enjoy ourselves.
I hate your couch.
Oh, oh, well.
We all have pet peeves,
yours seems to be yule.
I'm sorry, sir,
but you're wrong.
Yule is totally cool.

I'm a dog, not a shrink,
but if it were my call,
I'd say his heart was
two sizes too small.
But whatever the reason,

he hated to lose.

Mama Who?
Cindy-Lou.
Can I meet the Grinch?
No, you can't.
But why not?
He's so mean
you would flinch?
But he lives all alone.
Could I make him a gift?
Don't you think that'll get
his glum spirit to lift?
I'm too busy to care.
He's a brute, Cindy-Lou.
Just forget him.
There's still so
much Who-ha to do.
You're a kind

Generous too.
You could give singing

- Yeah!
(laughing)
Oh, just ignore him,
Boo Who.
Your grandpa is an old
flake, but we love him

Yes, once or twice.

No, no, no, no.

Oh, what a treat.
What did you say?
What do they eat?
The Who feast on Who
pudding and a rare
Who roast beast,
which is something
I cannot stand

They'll say, Oh,
please pass the pancakes
and please pass the peas
and then have some

Yummy, yummy. yummy. .

The Who's went their way,
The Who's never suspecting
their danger that day,
and he turned his fake
smile back into a frown,
When he stole those old
antlers on route
out of town.
What's his devilish plan?
Why the sewing machine?
Oh.
Whatever it was,
it was bound to be mean
All the way up mount
Crumpit, he laughed
in his throat
and back in the cave
made a hat and a coat.
And he called me
Young Max, and with yards
of red thread,
he secured those old
antlers on top of my head.

Ignore what I
said earlier.
Oh, I love your couch
Hey, hey!
This is my Emmy
nomination, Stop!
Is he done?
Yeah,
I so hated to watch the
Grinch swagger and strut.
What else could I do?
I'm just a young mutt.
So...
the Grinch hits me right
up and piled empty old
sacks in a ramshackle
sleigh for his reindeer
named Max.
And the Grinch said
to get at it!
And the sleigh
hurdled down for
the homes where the
Who's are a snooze
in their town.
Feel the force Maximillon!
Say goodbye
Christmas, children!
(dramatic music)
( whip cracking)
Whoa! Whoa!
Look below!
Santa Claus is coming
to town! Ho! Ho! Ho!
.
(whimsical music)
So it wasn't quite
Christmas,
but the night before.
When the Grinch
cackled down
from his cave with a roar,
my poor back
hurt like mad,
my young legs bellyaching
somewhere under my fur my
young heart was breaking.
The village was serene
all the lights turned
down low. Streets were all
empty, just
drifting with snow.
The children of Whoville
were dreaming of toys.
Other grown ups tried hard
not to make any noise.

Santy Clause!
Hello!
Why are you taking our
Christmas tree?
Ah, you know, uh....
Why are you taking our
fireplace logs?
And why does your
reindeer resemble a dog?
Oh, Prancer.
Yes, what a
funny old tyke.
You see, some reindeer's
are reindeery and some
quite dog like.
Well, my sweet little tot,
I have nothing to hide.
There's a light on this
tree that won't
light on one side.
So I'm I'm taking it home
to my workshop, my dear.
I'll repair it up there
and then I'll bring
it back here.
You're so kind.
I so am.
But return it by dawn.
But but of course.
Who are you,
my wee tiny frog spawn?
Cindy-Lou Who.
Well, get you.
Listen here,
why are you up when
the others are sleeping?
Are you spying Miss Who?
Could that be why
you're creeping?
Come on, girlie, now tell
me the minutes of flying.
I've got work to do, kid.
(sobbing)
She's actually crying, oh,
please, little Who can't
be as bad as all that?
This is me, Santa Claus.
You can tell by my hat
Max.
I mean, Prancer!
Come here on the double
this Who thing of ours is
in some sort
of trouble, I...
This is awkward.
I had such a bad dream
and it gave me a fright.
Do you think you could
stay here
just for the night?
I'm Santa Claus, my dear,
and it's Christmas Eve,
all the things I must do.
Well, you wouldn't believe.
Of course, silly me.
You'll be bushed when
the night ends and just
hurry back home to
your family and friends.
Well, in fact, Santa tends
to do Christmas solo.
Just my thing,
no big deal.
Moving on, let it go.

Nah
Was it something I said?
No, just an old injury
hit by a boomerang.
Oh, you're a darling.
Oh look.
What a strange
thing to see,
I appear to have fixed all
the lights on
this tree.
- Wooo!
- Shhh!
I'm fixed too, Santy.
No more fears,
no more fright, I'll be
thinking of you,
Mr. Claus.
Through the night.
But you never did tell
me, my Cindy-Lou Who
What's that spooky old
nightmare that
scarified you?
Well, I dreamt there was
someone with eyes
like a frog.
Yes.
And he hated
Christmas
And Whoville, and
children and dogs.
(Max barks)
Ah, shhh! Grrrr!
Sorry. (clears throat)
Hairball.
Go on.
And I dreamed he was
slinking along inch
by inch and then who did I
see but our neighbor,
old Grinch?
I see.
Well,
no doubt the old Grinch
thinks you're
pitiful, too.
Which is why he
prefers his seclusion
To you.
You know,
You run along now
and sleep
tiny ant sized
Who daughter.
Gah!!!
(giggles)
(yelling)
Aww, Santy.
Ok, ok
Now run along,
get that cup of cold bile.
I mean water.
Yeah.
Oh.
Woohoo!
Oh,
Max! Cease your blubbering
or I'll get shouty.
Heel!
We still have all the rest
of their Christmas
to steal.
(groans loudly)
.
(light music)
Ready!
(horn blowing)
And when Cindy Lou went up
to bed with her cup,
he snuck back
to the chimney and
stuff the tree up.
He tore through the town
while I trotted behind
and he smashed and he
grabbed every gift
he could find
He ransacked
the Who's homes,
He defooded their fridges.
He wrote Grinchy type
words on the sidewalks
and bridges,
Hashtag Grinch
On their walls,
He left nothing
but hooks and some wire.
And the last thing he took
was the log
for their fire.
And the one stuck a fool
that he left in the house
was a crumb that was even
too small for a mouse
Mouse!
Max!
And he did the same thing
to the other Who's houses,
leaving crumbs much too
small for the other
Who's mouses.
He would climb
to the window
and then very nimbly sort
of wiggle and jiggle
his way up the chimney.

It was a quarter
past dawn, when...
It was a quarter past dawn
and the Who's still in bed
The Who's still a snooze
as he packed
up his sled,
packed it up with their
presents, their ribbons,
their wrappings,
their tags, their tinsels,
all the trimmings,
the trappings,
The Who's finally woke
to a terrible site.
All the gifts and their
food had been
snatched in the night.
All the presents
have vanished
And so have the toys.
I slept like a hippo,
did you hear a noise?
No, I slept like
a mattress.
Oh, the food has left
the house.
There's not even a
crumb that would interest a
mouse.
Our dear home looks like
a tornado swept through it
So how did it happen
and just who would do it?
I think I may
know who.
And it's funny because...
Why, my dear Cindy Lou?
He looks like
Santy Claus.
Who?
And you must be so lonely.
No family, no friends,
not a present to open,
no presents to send.
Well, my sweetheart.
Our thanks.
You've been very mature.
Till I find him
and lose it.
And give him
what for!

The mad Grinch
all this time
was out pecking
his whip
his sleigh to the high
mountain tip.
Ever onward
beyond where he
roared to the night,
way up higher than I do,
a frightening height.
Up three thousand feet
to the crest
of Mount Crumpit.
He rode with his load to
the tip top to dump it.
(moans)
(wind blowing)
Pooh-pooh to the Who's.
That's the tune
I'll be humming
They're finding out now
that no Christmas
is coming.
They're just waking up.
Max, put a part of your
ear there's a noise
coming soon that we
simply must hear.
Oh, the lame Who's
will cry buckets.
That's just what
they'll do.
Ready, Max.
Get set.
Go for a Whovelle
Boo hoo
Come on
(faint carolers)
What's that?
Wait.
The sound isn't sad.
No, no. This sound
sounds merry.
Oh, it must be

No, it is merry.
