The Grinch script tells the tale of a grouchy, isolated creature named the Grinch, who lives in a cave on Mount Crumpit with his loyal dog, Max. The Grinch despises the cheerful and friendly residents of Whoville, who love to celebrate holidays and festivities. On Christmas Eve, the Grinch decides to take matters into his own hands and steal Christmas from the Whos by disguising himself as Santa Claus and taking away all their decorations, gifts, and festive foods.
