How the Grinch Stole Christmas! - 1 of 3

It's Christmas Eve down in Whoville, and everyone's decorating for the big day tomorrow. Everyone, that is, but the Grinch (Boris Karloff), who lives on Mt. Crumpit (just north of Whoville) with a sour attitude. He absolutely hates everything about Christmas because of the noise surrounding the entire town on Christmas Day. The Grinch tries to come up with a plan of "keeping Christmas from coming". Just then, he notices his dog, Max, covered in snow in a Santa Claus-like way. The Grinch then gets the notion of diguising himself as Santa and stealing all of the Whos' presents, believing that that is enough to stop the holiday from coming.

First, he cuts out a coat and a hat and sews some fluff onto them. Next, he takes a reindeer horn and ties it to Max. Finally, the Grinch brings out a big stack of bags, loads it onto his ramshackle sleigh, and starts down on his journey to Whoville in a very comical way.

Down in Whoville, the Grinch starts to steal everything in the first house. Cindy Lou Who (June Foray) wakes up and asks him why he's taking the Christmas tree. The Grinch lies and tells her that something is wrong with this tree and he'll fix it up. After tucking Cindy Lou back in bed, the Grinch stuffs up the tree, takes the log for their fire, and goes up "the chimney himself, the old liar." He does the same thing for every house afterwards.

Loaded with everything the Whos owned, the Grinch and Max takes up the loot to Mt. Crumpit. Feeling joyous at the moment, the Grinch prepares for a sad cry from the Whos. Instead, the Whos are still happy and singing carols. Suddenly, the Grinch realizes the true meaning of Christmas. The Grinch barely retrieves the sled from falling over the edge of the mountain. He brings everything back to the Whos and is invited to participate in the holiday feast.

My favorite Xmas special of all time. Boris Karloff was the best narrator of any special--of course he had the great dialogue of Dr. Seuss. The Grinch's facial expressions are as good as any animated character in history. And who cannot love Cindy Lou Who (who was no more than 2)?

@WillScarlet16 well obviously, its just kinda funny that it sounds like that

@RolingStone10 I get sick of refuting this. The lyrics do NOT SAY THAT. Buy the soundtrack, you can read the lyrics for yourself and look it up.

And Dr. Seuss was the most avid anti-racist ever, he would never have written that.
