Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas

2000

Dr. Seuss's much-loved tome about the real meaning of Christmas finally makes it to the big screen, with comic wunderkind Jim Carrey starring in the titular role of a green-faced gnome who plots to rob Whoville of the Yuletide. Several songs from the classic 1966 animated cartoon have also made the transition. Pass that last can of Who Hash, will ya?

Inside a snowflake, like the one on your sleeve, there happened a story you must see to believe.
