So come back with me now for the trip

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!

Arf arf arf

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. I'm Max, his old dog

(howls)

(playful music)

There I am, way back when. Young fur, soft brown eyes

if I looked any cuter, I'd win a big prize.

Teenage Max, the moody years

Truth to tell, I was sad.

Mangy coat, smelly feet, slept alone in a ditch.

Missed my mom.

Dreamt of meat.

It wasn't that bad.

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.

(Grinch growls)

You can't even recognize your face in a mirror.

[Grinch] Heel.

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, his head, heart, or shoes

the Grinch hated Christmas he hated to lose.

(ominous music)

(whimsical music)

Who‐oo!

(all together) Who‐oo!

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 little Who, Cindy.

Generous too.

You could give singing lessons for your brother,

‐ Boo Who. ‐ Yeah!

(laughing)

Oh, just ignore him, Boo Who.

Your grandpa is an old flake, but we love him

still dearly in spite of it.

Cake?

Have you met the Grinch, Papa?

Yes, once or twice.

What's he like?

No, no, no, no.

He's not very nice.

Oh, and the Who's young

and old will all sit down for a feast

and they'll feast and they'll feast

then they'll sleep,

then they'll feast, then they'll feast,

feast, feast!.

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 in the least.

They'll say, Oh,

please pass the pancakes and please pass the peas

and then have some of those things.

Then have some of these!

Yummy, yummy. yummy. .

Oh, and then they'll do

something I like least of all. Every Who down

will stand close together as Christmas bells ring.

All alone in that cave,

he must feel so sad. Just because he looks

different doesn't mean he's bad.

I do hope he likes it.

Well, how could he not?

His heart swells a bit.

He'll be down like a shot.

Oh! Merry Christmas, Friend.

Oh, yes, yes. How nice.

I'm so glad someone's made a big effort to mock me.

I'm mad.

Oh, I didn't think I could hate

Christmas time anymore.

Well, I do now, so watch as I settle the score.

The more thought that he gave

this alleged disrespect, the more vexed he became.

I want Christmas wrecked.

It's been fifty three

years, I put up with it now.

Time to stop Christmas from coming.

But how?

I know how, now.

Oh, please don't.

No Christmas for the Who's.

So the Grinch hurried on. 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.

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.

If we really must do this, let's fix up a winch.

[Grinch] If fat Santa can make it,

then so can the Grinch

(groaning)

Boy instead, here's a plan.

Let's go home.

Ho, Ho, Ho

Oh, just dropping in for a nice Christmas visit.

That's not something to apologize for, now is it?

Oh look

Tiny Who's stockings hung all in a row.

These dear little socks

will be the first things to go.

This is wrong, Mr. Grinch!

Oh, "This is wrong, Mr. Grinch"

No ifs, ands or maybes.

What we're doing here, Max

is taking candy from babies.

Ah, stuff it!

The Grinch slithered and slunk with a face most

unpleasant as he plotted his plot

to take every present.

(big band music)

(wind blowing)

(upbeat music)

I can hardly believe it!

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!

Hiyah!

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 a trick of the ears.

No, it is merry.

Merry!
