In “The Grinch” (original title: “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”), Jim Carrey played the eponymous green meanie who can't stand Christmas. The Christmas story is based on the 1957 novel “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” by Theodor Seuss Geisel. The film is not that old and was first released in cinemas in 2000. The comedy has now become something of a modern Christmas classic and is being shown on TV and streaming again this year.
About the story: The green-haired grouch Grinch lives on a mountain and hates the residents of a nearby town – especially because the Whos who live there love Christmas so much. With a perfidious plan, the Grinch and his loyal companion, a dog named Max, want to ruin Christmas.
