“It was the heist before Christmas.”
Yuletide cynic and green recluse, the Grinch (Benedict Cumberbatch) plots to sabotage Whoville's Christmas revelry, sneaking into homes to steal the festive cheer, only to be disarmed by the town's infectious joy and the resilience of a young girl's spirit. Directed by Yarrow Cheney and Scott Mosier, this animated remake reinvigorates Dr. Seuss's tale with a sleek, modern edge, balancing the Grinch's sour charisma with heartwarming, if predictable, redemption.
