Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas (released internationally as Dr. Seuss' The Grinch) is a 2000 Christmas film based on the book of the same name, directed by Ron Howard and starring Jim Carrey as the title character, with a supporting cast including Christine Baranski, Jeffrey Tambor, Taylor Momsen, Bill Irwin, Molly Shannon, and Clint Howard.The first feature-length adaptation of one of Seuss's works and one of only two to be live-action, the film finds Carrey cavorting a little more than usual, leaping around all over the place and wearing a green mask. Again. While it follows the original book pretty closely, the film features an additional backstory to make the Grinch a more sympathetic figure.For those who (somehow) aren't familiar with the original story, The Grinch is a hairy, green solitary creature who lives on the far outskirts of Whoville, a tiny town of tiny residents called the Whos...who are busily preparing for their favorite day of the year, that being Christmas Day. The Grinch, however, despises the Whos, and despises Christmas, partially because Whoville has all but ostracised him due to his appearance and demeanor, and partially because, well, he's just not a very pleasant fellow. This year, however, one of the Whos, Cindy Lou, questions whether the Grinch is as monstrous as the town says he is, and instead suggests he may just be lonely, and so she invites him to the annual Whoville Christmas celebration, unaware of the holiday hijinks she's setting in motion.A second live-action film based on Dr. Seuss' stories was released in 2003. However, it turned out to be a Franchise Killer, putting the kibosh on any more such productions and resulting in all future productions having Shifted to CGI.An animated film adaptation by Illumination Entertainment was released to cinemas in November 2018, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as The Grinch. | |

Graceful Loser: Following his Heel–Face Turn, the Grinch returns the gifts and decorations that he stole, confesses to the Whos of his crimes before apologizing to them. Hell, he is willing to be arrested and face severe punishment by the police since it's their job to do so, but the police, along with the Whos, decided to forgive him as his crimes did teach them a very important lesson about the true meaning of Christmas. | |

Papa Wolf | |
| How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) / int_1dfd19f9 | comment |
Papa Wolf: Cindy Lou's father, despite being a timid man, stands up for her when the Mayor blames her for the Grinch's thievery. In fact, he's the one who makes those in Whoville realize the true meaning of Christmas. Also, despite being visibly scared, he steps in front of a crashing sleigh to stop it because his daughter's on board. The Grinch may not be related to Cindy Lou, but he still pulls this trope off at the end of the film when he realizes she's on top of his sleigh while trying to keep it from sliding down Mt. Crumpit and crashing. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: The movie expands on the Grinch's character, actually creating legitimate motivation for his actions and a reason why he stole Christmas this year as opposed to any previous year, in comparison to the original story where he simply hated Christmas and randomly decided that after 53 years of putting up with it, he would ruin it. Speaking of which, the Grinch doesn't actually steal Christmas until the second half of the film. The first half is spent introducing and fleshing out the characters, and even adds new scenes in which the Grinch directly interacts with Cindy Lou and the Whos. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The opening shot depicting Whoville as being inside a snowflake is a reference to Horton Hears a Who!, where Whoville is located in a similarly microscopic speck of dust. Doubles as a Genius Bonus, since every snowflake in real life does indeed form around a dust particle. Many designs (including but not limited to the clouds over Whoville) are based on swirls and spirals, echoing design elements in the original book. The fake monster head that the Grinch uses to scare off intruders is based on his original book design, made to look much more terrifying. | |

Even Evil Has Standards | |
| How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: While the Grinch is not above destroying anything Christmas related, he avoids running women pushing children on the stroller even if the end result ends with his (stolen) car exploding. In addition, just after his massive rampage on Whoville, he crashes the car he stole, notices it's going to explode, and yells out that it is going to do so. Granted, there wasn't any Who's around, but he still yelled it out, just in case they were. So the Grinch, Pre Heel–Face Turn, is not above causing massive mayhem and destruction, but he doesn't want to see anyone killed or hurt. Subverted for a bit at the beginning. Only after Max pushes the Grinch into saving Cindy from the machinery, he reluctantly saves her. He didn't seem too concerned at first. | |

Likewise Max is less put-upon and more of an equal to the Grinch even being something of a Silent Snarker, fitting since Max has been his only friend and companion for the past 53 years. | |

Adaptational Sympathy | |
| How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) / int_39a41690 | comment |
Adaptational Sympathy: The live action version of Dr. Seuss' famous tale does this to The Grinch, a mean old grouch who lives atop Mount Crumpit and spends his days hating The Who's who live in WhoVille below. The original story, as well as the legendary animated special, depicted him as a miser who just hated Christmas, and went out of his way to steal the holiday so he could have some peace and quiet. This film gives the Grinch a Freudian Excuse as to exactly why he hates Christmas, since he was bullied and picked on as a child due to his unusual appearance, and his attempt to embrace the holiday ended in humiliation thanks to future Mayor Augustus Maywho. When another attempt to change his ways ends exactly the same way thanks to Maywho again, he loses it and decides to steal Christmas. It also falls into Jerkass Has a Point and Villain Has a Point territory, since the Whos undergo Adaptational Jerkass and become greedy misers only obsessed with gifts and stuff for the holiday—a fact of which Grinch calls them out on during his "The Reason You Suck" Speech against them following his second humiliation. | |

Crapsaccharine World: A light example. While Whoville seems like a festive, friendly place at first, the Grinch — and Cindy Lou — feel that the Whos are very materialistic about Christmas. Not to mention how The Grinch was treated when he was a kid. This even shows in the set direction, with the grotesque carnival aesthetics and the lighting being unusually dark for a Christmas movie. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: After the Grinch overloads his sleigh with presents, it becomes so heavy that its rocket engines can't even remotely lift it off the ground, prompting him to make Max drag it all the way up the mountain. Towards the end, when Cindy begins singing "Welcome Christmas", everyone joins in and sings with her in harmony... except the Grinch, who only ad-libs what he's hearing at best. If somebody has never heard a song (at least not often enough), chances are they can't sing along to it very well. | |

Adaptational Heroism: The Grinch is much more sympathetic than in the book, having become the mean-spirited Jerkass he is as a result of being bullied by the Whos, which also triggered his hatred of Christmas. Cindy Lou Who is also much more actively heroic in this version. While she didn't do much of significance in the book and cartoon, here she plays a crucial role in persuading the Grinch to open his heart to Christmas, and helps him to return all the stolen presents after he redeems himself. | |

Broken Aesop: Subverted. The backstory presented in the film makes it clear that the Grinch's hatred of the Whos' way of celebrating Christmas is perfectly justified, yet the end is still presented as him needing to learn a lesson. On the other hand, as it was exposed in the bit of him disguised as Santa Claus with Cindy Lou, the Grinch believed in Christmas being about presents (and VENGEANCE!!!) because that’s what he learned from the Whos. Thus, both the Grinch and the Whos needed to learn a lesson about the true meaning of Christmas; it’s ultimately Cindy Lou and her father who make sure this happens, first to Whoville and then to the Grinch. | |

Sweet and Sour Grapes: Played with. Unlike in the original story, the Whos actually were upset, and the festivities halted, by the Grinch stealing the presents, but they have a change of heart after realizing how shallow they've been and start celebrating without them, and this causes the Grinch to have his own change of heart about Christmas. However, when the presents start falling off the mountain like in the story and he can't pull the sleigh back from the edge, he actually considers just letting them drop since, after all, he's just learned that they aren't necessary for Christmas. But then it turns out Cindy Lou Who snuck aboard the sleigh to keep the Grinch from spending Christmas alone, and with her life on the line as well, the Grinch finds the strength to save her, and the presents in the process. | |

His heart is still a half-size too small, and Martha probably wouldn't have it any other way. Even before. His to-do list included solving world hunger. And then not telling anyone, because he's the Grinch, not a good guy. | |

When Cindy Lou approaches him, he tries to keep the tree between them to help keep her from seeing him properly.

Break the Cutie | |
| How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) / int_4b316d47 | comment |
Break the Cutie: After enduring abuse in his childhood, it's little wonder that the Grinch was turned from a nice person to a reclusive jerk. Cindy gets this as well when the Mayor bullies her into tears after the Grinch goes berserk (this was actually because the Mayor insulted the Grinch by gifting him an electric shaver). | |

Adaptational Ugliness: In the original book, all of the Whos are small creatures with antennae who look rather cute. In the film, all of the background Whos are regular people with prosthetic noses and buck teeth that make them look rather strange and creepy. They're also given ugly and gaudy outfits to match them being portrayed as more greedy and materialistic. | |

G-Rated Sex | |
| How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) / int_5cbb2384 | comment |
G-Rated Sex: The "baby Whos from the sky" method of reproduction. Could be interpreted as a fib, since the people explaining the Grinch's back story are telling it to a girl too young to know what sex is... but it's also shown in a flashback, and the rest of the sequence makes it clear that the flashback is what really happened, while the people telling the story in the present are lying about certain parts to make themselves look better. Unlike most versions of the trope, the "sex" part is also strongly emphasized, as seen when the father Who asks his wife why their baby looks just like her boss. | |

Doorstop Baby: Who parents do not get children through pregnancy and birth, but instead receive their babies in parachute baskets that descend from the sky onto their doorsteps. The infant Grinch happened to land outside the door of two childless older women—whose exact relationship to each other was unclear, but who in any case were not "expecting" a baby—and they raised him out of the kindness of their hearts. | |

Freeze-Frame Bonus | |
| How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) / int_62f9d08e | comment |
Freeze-Frame Bonus: Cindy Lou holds up a newspaper clipping about a Grinch sighting when she comes to interview his adoptive parents; the photo of the Grinch is reminiscent of a commonly-reproduced still image from the Patterson–Gimlin filmof a purported Bigfoot, the opening paragraph of the article is written in rhyme, and the writer points out that the photographer was "no Edward Whoston" (a reference to influential American photographer Edward Weston). An adjacent article, partially cut off, seems to indicate that the local currency is a "Whomolian", a play on "simoleon", old-fashioned American slang for a dollar. A mild, blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment: While choosing a Whobilation outfit, The Grinch rips off his 'not a dress' kilt, and he's wearing a lace garter around his thigh. | |

| How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) / int_6ec4232f | comment |
Casting Gag: In the Latin American Spanish dub, Mario Castañeda voices the Grinch, as he usually does with Jim Carrey roles. Meanwhile, Gerardo Reyero voices Augustus May Who. This isn't the first time these two actors were pit as rivals, as they voiced Goku and Freeza before in Dragon Ball Z, respectively. | |

| How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) / int_72455542 | comment |
Adaptational Intelligence: Cindy Lou Who was simply an innocent two-year-old girl in the book, but in the film, she's a child prodigy who knows words like "superfluous" and thoroughly read the Book of Who enough to win an argument with the mayor about it. This also has the side effect of making it harder for many viewers to believe she was actually fooled by the Grinch's disguise. | |

Adaptational Badass | |
| How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) / int_736d791f | comment |
Adaptational Badass: Of a sort. The Grinch is a much goofier character, but has an affinity for mechanics at a young age, filling his lair with various contraption made of junk and trash. He can also survive eating inedible or even harmful substances like burning coals or rotten fruit, has super-strength, can understand Max (a dog) and has toxic breath. As a result of the above; his sleigh is rocket powered and capable of flight in this version. Also, the fact that said sleigh would’ve probably taken anyone else days to build, he managed to build it in just a few hours! Likewise Max is less put-upon and more of an equal to the Grinch even being something of a Silent Snarker, fitting since Max has been his only friend and companion for the past 53 years. | |

And when the teacher asked him to take it off, almost all the children laughed at him, resulting in his hatred for Christmas and the Whos. | |

Bullying a Dragon: Even as a child, the Grinch was disproportionately strong. Him being ridiculed and mocked by the Whos for his attempt to give a gift to a young Martha some 53 years in the past was what finally made him snap, and he utterly trashes the class' Christmas tree in response. | |

He is even invited to the Grinch's dinner where he tries to tell a scientist of the time his tonsels got removed. | |

Bathos: The Grinch violently freaking out at his party when the Mayor ruins his one moment of triumph by cruelly presenting him with an insulting gift is legitimately upsetting due it tying directly into The Grinch's Dark and Troubled Past, but it's also hilarious when he totally destroys the party in the most ridiculous, cartoonish, and petty manner possible by setting the tree on fire with an improvised flamethrower and angrily driving away through the chaos on a ridiculously tiny car. | |

Never My Fault: Augustus Maywho blames Cindy Lou for the Grinch stealing Christmas since she was the one who insisted on having him be their Cheermeister in the first place, despite the fact that it was his intentionally torturous treatment of the Grinch during the entire celebration and incredibly mean-spirited Kick the Dog moment with the electric shaver during the finale that drove the Grinch over the edge. | |

Towards the end of the film, the Whos are similarly shocked when they realize that the Grinch stole Christmas and later when the Grinch can't stop the sleigh after returning to Whoville. | |

After being humiliated and tortured during the festivities in the Whobilation, the Grinch ends up winning first place in the sack race, getting praise from the other Whos for probably the first time in his entire life... only for the mayor to give him an electric shaver as a call-back to the shaving incident that humiliated him as a child, resulting in further mockery from the Whos. | |

Saving Christmas | |

Saving Christmas: Inverted; in fact, the inversion of this trope is the premise of the story. Then it's played straight when the Grinch Saves Christmas from himself at the end. In a sense, his stealing of Christmas is what ended up saving it for the Whos, as it helped them to realize what was truly important about Christmas. | |

The Dissenter Is Always Right | |
| How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) / int_9f085fbc | comment |
The Dissenter Is Always Right: Cindy Lou is this on two counts. First, she was the only one in Whoville who believed that there was goodness inside the Grinch, even after the Grinch wraps her up in wrapping paper in the post office. Though she would initially appear to be wrong about him, as he would go on to ruin the holiday festival and steal everything from their homes, the Grinch eventually has a change of heart and returns everything, proving Cindy Lou right. Secondly, she was the only one who started to reject the materialism that was surrounding the Christmas festivities, while all the other Whos insisted that that was what Christmas is all about. In the end, the Whos only began to feel the Christmas spirit after all of their material possessions were stolen and then realize that Christmas is really about being around the people you love. | |

In-Joke: Ron Howard points out on the 2006 commentary track that the Grinch being intrigued by the prospect of receiving an award at the Whobilation is this. At the time the film was shot, Jim Carrey had been snubbed of a Best Actor Oscar nomination for The Truman Show despite being heavily favored; not long after principal photography wrapped, he was snubbed again for Man on the Moon. By the time this commentary was recorded, he'd also been overlooked for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. | |

Enfant Terrible: Yes, it was the brutal taunting he received from his classmates that turned the Grinch into a full-fledged villain, but he always had sadistic traits going all the way back to his youth, especially in regards to Christmas. Examples include eating a Santa plate as a baby and drawing a picture of Santa falling off his sleigh to his death as a boy. Also, during his construction of the angel in an attempt to impress Martha and get into the Christmas spirit, he shows no regard or concern for the valuable family items he is building it from, such as the expensive silverware or family heirloam (though, he was doing a good deed at the same time by going out of his way to make a gift for Martha). | |

Literal Ass-Kissing: The Grinch holds a piece of mistletoe over his ass. "Now pucker up and kiss it, Whoville!" Also when The Grinch is stealing the presents and gets to the mayor, he presents Max's ass to him while he sleeps and dreams off kissing Martha May Whovier. Max is very clearly NOT happy afterwards. | |

"The Villain Sucks" Song: "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch". The stage and movie versions give it to the Grinch, making it a tongue-in-cheek Villain Song (though that actually always the intention, but Boris Karloff couldn't sing by his own admission). | |

Shout-Out | |
| How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: When working with Max on his reindeer impression, the Grinch wears a baseball cap and affects mannerisms often displayed by director Ron Howard. The surname "Whovier" (as in "Martha May Whovier") is a pun on the name "Bouvier"; Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis' maiden name. A green man rips through a shirt, warning an innocent to keep away "before he kills again". A news story about the Grinch being spotted in Whoville is accompanied by a photo of him striding like Bigfoot does in the famous Patterson-Gimlin film. The Grinch hams "Gaze into the face of fear!" at one point. The novelization has a running gag in which Rose Who-Biddy mistakes the Grinch for a “Whoticus Finch”. A father named Lou having two sons named Stu and Drew might sound like a family of Pickles. | |

The Dog Bites Back: After enduring enough of his bullying in school, the Grinch destroys his gift, his presents, and hurls a tree at the classmates while saying that he hates Christmas. After the Mayor cruelly gives the Grinch his electric shaver to remind him of his harassing as a kid, the Grinch retaliates against him by shaving his hair with the electric shaver as revenge for teasing him. Even in a more literal sense with Max several times: he furiously bit the Grinch to successfully convince him to save Cindy Lou from being crushed by the mail machine. He even pulled down the trap door to force the Grinch into joining the Cheermeister festivities when the latter wouldn't make up his mind. During the Grinch's musical number, Max pushed a button to test a new engine with the Grinch as a dummy without using the air bags, resulting the Grinch to suffer neck injuries, possibly out of retribution against the Grinch for throwing Max and his doghouse into the snow. | |
