GRINCH PLUSH TV
The TV special The Grinch Grinches the Cat in the Hat lays much of the blame on the absence of the Grinch's mother, who had been a positive, nurturing influence on the Grinch in her lifetime but died some time prior when the Grinch is finally provoked to grieve at the end of that special, he returns to being good.ĭr. Determined to impress her, he cooks family heirlooms in a pot for a Christmas gift exchange and vainly attempts to shave, then is mocked for his efforts by all at school but Martha and so conceives an abiding resentment. He proves an unruly schoolboy and is bullied by a schoolmate, Augustus May Who (later Whoville's mayor), but falls for a Who-girl named Martha. In contrast, the 2000 film adaptation provides a backstory in his upbringing: abandoned in infancy in Whoville and left in the cold, unnoticed by the revelers at a Christmas key party, the Grinch is taken in by two Who sisters. In Seuss's book, "no one quite knows the reason" for the Grinch's grudge. Cardiologist David Kass suggested that the rapid growth of the Grinch's heart at the end of the story indicates that the Grinch has the physiology of a Burmese python. With the character's anti-Christmas spirit followed by the transformation on Christmas morning, scholars have noted similarity to Ebenezer Scrooge from Charles Dickens' 1843 novella A Christmas Carol. In the 2018 film, the Grinch has assistance saving all the Whos' stolen goods.
GRINCH PLUSH PLUS
In both the animated TV special and the 2000 live-action film, he is shown to have superhuman strength when he stops an entire sleigh loaded with presents from going over a cliff and lifts it over his head, and he is also described as " the strength of ten Grinches plus two" (a phrase lifted from the original book) during that moment of crisis. The Grinch is still portrayed as a bitter and ill-tempered character in artwork or other media. He returns all the gifts he stole and gladly takes part in the Whos' Christmas celebration. Inspired, he stops the Whos' belongings from falling off the edge of the mountain, and in the process (according to those who speculated upon the size of his heart before) his heart grows three sizes. He then realizes that the holiday has a deeper meaning that he never considered. Although he pulls off the theft successfully, on Christmas morning, he is shocked to hear the Whos still singing cheerfully, happy simply to have each other. Unable to stand the holiday any longer, he decides to destroy it once and for all.Īided by his pet dog, Max, he meticulously designs a red suit to disguise himself as Santa Claus and breaks into the Whos' homes on Christmas Eve while they sleep to steal everything they own, right down to the last crumb of food they have, and dump it off of a nearby mountain. He especially hates the Christmas season, making particular note of how disturbing the various noises of Christmas time are to him, including the singing of Christmas carols. The reason for this is a source of speculation the consensus among the Whos is that he was born with a heart that they say was "two sizes too small". In contrast to the cheerful Whos, the Grinch is misanthropic, ill-natured, and mean-tempered. He has spent the past 53 years living in seclusion on a cliff, overlooking the town of Whoville. In full-color adaptations, he is typically colored yellow green. The Grinch is depicted as a pot-bellied, furry, pear-shaped, snub-nosed creature with a cat-like face and cynical personality.
