The Grinch (2018)
In the town of Whoville, the human-like people called Whos are filled with excitement about celebrating Christmas. However, the only one who is not amused is the cantankerous and green-furred Grinch, born with a heart being “two sizes too small”. He lives in his cave with his dog, Max, and only goes into Whoville to buy groceries and play pranks on the citizens. Meanwhile, 6-year-old Cindy Lou Who notices that her mother Donna is overworked trying to take care of herself and her twin infant brothers, Buster and Bean. Cindy initially decides to send a letter to Santa Claus to help her mother, but after an encounter with the Grinch —who sarcastically tells her that, if the matter is so urgent, she’ll have to talk to Santa face-to-face about it— she decides to go to the North Pole to talk to Santa himself.
When Donna tells her that a round trip to the North Pole would take a month, she instead decides to try trapping Santa with the help of her friends. With Christmas approaching, a bungled attempt by the Grinch to ruin a tree-lighting ceremony results in him having a flashback about his disjointed childhood spent alone and unwanted in an orphanage. The Grinch soon decides that he will steal Christmas from Whoville to assuage his distress. He and Max acquire a fat reindeer, whom the Grinch calls Fred, and steal a sleigh from his friendly neighbor Bricklebaum. After a test run, the Grinch and Max discover that Fred has a family, and the Grinch emotionally agrees to let Fred go home with them.
