The Grinch, a strange hermit whose heart is two sizes too small, lives with his dog Max in a cave at the top of Mount Crumpit. His daily diet is composed of lettuce juice, extra-virgin beaver oil and sour milk. The joyous and multi-colored Christmas celebrations of Whoville, the town at the foot of the mountain, disturb the Grinch, and he decides to steal Christmas. In the end, though, he discovers that Christmas at Whoville isn't just games and presents.
