The Grinch ; Dr. Seuss' (2018)



Released November 9th in the US.
The story: It is Christmas time in Whoville, the home of the Whos.
All the Whos are completely full of Christmas spirit because they love Christmas the most.
But the Grinch, who lives above Whoville, hates Christmas.
When he wakes to find he is out of food, he realizes he has to go into Whoville for some shopping.
He will despise every second of going into Whoville, where he believes during Christmas time, the Whos are most deceptive.
All the Grinch happens upon are joyful Whos and he cannot stand any of it.
After doing his shopping, the Grinch is accidentally bumped into by Cindy Lou Who, who is busily trying to mail a very important letter to Santa Claus.
She wants Santa to help her mother, who she loves very much and believes his helping her and giving her what she wants and needs is a lot more important than anything she could wish for.
The Grinch then bumps into Mr. Bricklebalm, who believes he is friends with the Grinch.
He informs the Grinch that the mayor has made it official that the Christmas celebration tree this year will be three times bigger.
When he gets home, he feels even worst and alone too, which upsets him something awful.
While playing chess with his dog Max, the Grinch's house is disturbed by Mr. Bricklebalm flying a giant Christmas tree into town.
When the Grinch tries taking out the tree and his plan backfires, it dredges up all his unhappy Christmas memories.
He then comes up with an even more sinister plan.
He will dress in a Santa Claus disguise on Christmas Eve and steal all of the Whos Christmas.
Little does he realize, Cindy Lou Who is planning on staying up all Christmas Eve to talk to Santa in person.
