How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)
How the Grinch Stole Christmas is the first full-length movie based on a Dr. Seuss book. Because it’s based on a children’s book, additions such as the backstories of the major characters were added to increase its length. So if you’ve read the book, you still need to watch the movie!
Synopsis: In this live-action adaptation of the beloved children's tale by Dr. Seuss, the reclusive green Grinch (Jim Carrey) decides to ruin Christmas for the cheery citizens of Whoville. Reluctantly joined by his hapless dog, Max, the Grinch comes down from his mountaintop home and sneaks into town to swipe everything holiday-related from the Whos. However, the bitter grump finds a hitch in his plans when he encounters the endearing Cindy Lou Who (Taylor Momsen).
