00:01:15Past the place that you come from, far beyond what you've seen, is a town like your town, if
00:01:23your town was a dream.
00:01:32Only it's not a dream, or a hoax, or a ruse.
00:01:36It is Christmas in Whoville, the home of the Who's.
00:01:40Fresh peppermint, Fred!
00:01:42Oh, hey, Marge!
00:01:43Morning, Fred!

00:02:09Hurry up!
00:02:10Hurry up!
00:02:26Yes, Whoville is great.
00:02:27That is known far and wide.
00:02:30And three weeks through December, this place hits its stride.
00:02:50Yes, the Who's down in Whoville like Christmas a lot.
00:02:57But the Grinch, in his cave north of Whoville, did not.
00:03:03What?
00:03:23What?
00:03:26What?
00:03:32Huh?
00:03:32Yo!
00:03:33It's Christmas!
00:03:34Don't miss it!
00:03:34I'm missing all you listeners!
00:03:36The first day of Christmas, right through the century.
00:03:40Our dream, it's a fairy tale.
00:03:44Hmph.
00:03:49Max!
00:03:52You're a mean one.
00:03:53You really are a heel.
00:03:57You're as cuddly as a cactus.
00:03:59You're as charming as an eel.
00:04:02Mr. Grinch.
00:04:04You're a bitch.
00:04:06You're a bad banana.
00:04:07Huh.
00:04:09With the greasy black peel.
00:04:12You're a vile one.
00:04:14You got termites in your smile.
00:04:17You have all the bittersweetness of a seasoned crocodile.
00:04:22You're a bitch.
00:04:24You're a foul one.
00:04:26Friends you don't have.
00:04:28I wouldn't touch you with a 39 and a half a pole.
00:04:33You're a monster.
00:04:35Your heart's an empty hole.
00:04:39You got garlic.
00:04:42You got garlic and salt.
00:04:45All them smiles, homie.
00:04:46I turn the crowns.
00:04:48All them decorations.
00:04:49I tear them down.
00:04:51You got ax, Max.
00:04:51I don't play around.
00:04:54Ayo.
00:04:56Who is this mean fellow with his skin all green and his teeth far yellow?
00:05:01Would you so mad for Halloween?
00:05:04Come around and we ain't knocking at your door, man.
00:05:06Mr. Grinch.
00:05:07You're a man.
00:05:08You're gonna spoil everybody.
00:05:10You're gonna spoil everybody.
00:05:16Who is this mean fellow with his skin all green and his teeth far yellow?
00:05:22Would you so mad for Halloween?
00:05:24Come around and we ain't knocking at your door.
00:05:36I am starving.
00:05:39Huh?
00:05:41Max, what is this depressing bean?
00:05:44No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:05:46That's impossible.
00:05:47You can't be out of food.
00:05:48What?
00:05:50Where's my personal reserve of moose juice and goose juice?
00:05:53My emergency stash of who hash?
00:05:55My secret slew of frozen beasle nut stew?
00:06:00I specifically bought enough food to last until January.
00:06:03How much emotional eating have I been doing?
00:06:15No.
00:06:15I won't.
00:06:16I will not.
00:06:17I am not going to Whoville during...
00:06:23Christmas!
00:06:24Ah!
00:06:25Ugh!
00:06:30Fine.
00:06:31But I'm gonna despise every second of it.
00:06:35Come on, Max.
00:06:38Yes, the Grinch hated Christmas.
00:06:41The whole Christmas season.
00:06:43Now, please don't ask why.
00:06:45No one quite knows the reason.
00:06:48It could be his head wasn't screwed on just right.
00:06:53It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight.
00:06:57But I think the most likely reason of all...
00:07:01may have been that his heart was two sizes too small.
00:07:13Now, remember, Max, this is the time of year when the Who's are at their most deceptive.
00:07:18Oof!
00:07:19You have my full permission to attack anyone who so much as says one kind word to us.
00:07:26Okay, Danny.

00:16:12Whoo. Oh, man. Mr. Grinch
00:16:55From the edge of his ledge way up in the sky
00:16:59The Grinch felt upset
00:17:01Though he wasn't sure why
00:17:04It could have been christmas
00:17:06All that joy and the such
00:17:08Or some thoughts from his past that he just couldn't quite touch
00:17:13But whatever it was
00:17:15It made his heart moan
00:17:18Though he was used to it now
00:17:21This being alone
00:17:23And now safe in his cave
00:17:26And apart from the fray
00:17:28He reminded himself
00:17:31It is better this way

00:22:03I'll see you later, Grinchy.
00:22:04No, you will not see me later, and I will not be celebrating.
00:22:09And that tree, that tree, has got to go.
00:22:34Come on, Mom.
00:22:35Cindy Lou, look over there.
00:22:37Wow.

00:22:44Awesome robot.
00:22:46Oh, how marvelous this time of year is.
00:22:50Welcome, Julio, to the annual tree lighting ceremony.
00:22:54How spectacular are these ornaments?
00:22:59Look what I made, everybody.
00:23:01It's a Christmas dragon.
00:23:03It came to me in a dream.
00:23:05Oh, man.
00:23:09Hey, Bartholomew.
00:23:10Hey, dear, Miss Who.
00:23:11Here you go.
00:23:12Got it.
00:23:13Find a good spot for it.
00:23:15There it goes.
00:23:29Now, let's get ready to flip that switch and light up the sky.
00:23:34Oh, no.
00:23:36Not on my watch, you don't.
00:23:38See you guys soon.
00:23:39I'm gonna go find Grupert.
00:23:40Okay, have fun.
00:23:42Bye, say bye.
00:23:43Here you go.
00:23:44I hope your big brother gets what he deserves.
00:23:46Hey, Grupert, how's business?
00:23:48Good.
00:23:49What I can't sell, I can always eat.
00:23:53Hey, I need to talk to you about something really important.
00:23:56Okay.
00:23:57Come on, let's go.
00:24:03All right, check this out, Grupert.
00:24:05I'm gonna stay up on Christmas Eve this year and meet Santa Claus.
00:24:10Whoa, that is crazy.
00:24:13Yeah, I really gotta talk to him.
00:24:15About what?
00:24:16Well, it's really personal.
00:24:19But I'm going to tell you, because you're my best friend.
00:24:23It's about my mom.
00:24:25She works all night and takes care of us all day.
00:24:28And it just isn't fair.
00:24:31She acts like she's fine.
00:24:34But I know it's really hard for her.
00:24:38So I figured if anyone could fix that, it'd be Santa.
00:24:43Wow.
00:24:44And I just asked him for a turtle.
00:24:46Here we go.
00:24:46Oh, it's starting.
00:24:48Okay, Gruville, it is time to light this beautiful tree.
00:24:5417, 18, 19, and 20.
00:24:59Okay, lock and load.
00:25:05All right, just attach this here and we'll be ready to launch.
00:25:13I know.
00:25:14I wish I could see the look on their faces.

00:25:34Whoa!
00:25:35Whoa!
00:25:35That could be so much worse.
00:25:40Let's begin the countdown.

00:26:20Oh, it's beautiful!
00:26:22There it is!
00:26:23The most beautiful tree Whoville has ever seen!
00:26:27Oh!
00:26:28No!
00:26:30Oh, no!
00:26:30Oh, oh, oh!
00:26:34Oh!
00:26:39Oh!
00:26:41No!
00:26:43Oh!
00:26:45walked through the crowd and the sound and the lights and his ears heard the thump of their joy
00:26:51and delights and it took him right back to his earliest years to that lost lonely boy
00:26:59who cried all of those tears that lost lonely boy isolated and sad with no home of his own
00:27:09no mom no dad and as the grinch looked around he felt downright scared
00:27:23as he remembered that christmas where nobody cared
00:27:29where nobody showed not even a flea and there were no cards no gifts and no tree
00:27:43and as he watched other kids one thing became clear
00:27:50that this was the single worst day of the year
00:27:57and now here it was that day once again and he felt all those feelings he felt way back when
00:28:04when he'd watch who's young and old all sit down to feast and they feast and they'd feast and they'd
00:28:10feast feast feast feast they'd feast on who pudding and rare who roast beast which is something the
00:28:19grinch could not stand in the least and then they'd do something he liked least of all
00:28:28every who down in whoville the tall and the small would stand close together with christmas bells ringing
00:28:34they'd stand hand in hand and the who's would start singing
00:28:59they'll sing and they'll sing and they'll sing sing sing sing

00:31:20Genius starts with the abs, Max.
00:31:25It's go time.
00:31:35And now, the question we have all been waiting for, how will I steal Christmas?
00:31:43Well, prepare to have your little doggy mind blown.
00:31:59Ta-da!
00:32:01That's right, I become Santa Claus.
00:32:07But instead of giving all the joy and happiness, I'll take it away.
00:32:11If he can deliver Christmas to the whole world in one night, then I can certainly steal
00:32:17it from little old Whoville.
00:32:20I mean, come on.
00:32:22What's Santa have that I don't?
00:32:26That's hurtful.
00:32:29Um, what are you doing with my bowling ball?
00:32:32Chasing it.
00:32:34And you're taking it where?
00:32:36It's a secret.
00:32:37All right, but not without breakfast.
00:32:39Catch!
00:32:40Whoa!
00:32:41Wubbles!
00:32:41My favorite!
00:32:43Thanks!
00:32:44See you guys later!
00:32:45Here we go.
00:32:47Hey, Simula.
00:32:48Oh, hey there, Mr. Cummins.
00:32:50You don't even want to make me go out of my alley.
00:32:54Come on.
00:32:54Come on.
00:32:57I'm going to take you off to my alley.
00:32:58Hey, what's the best?
00:32:59There you go!
00:33:00OK.
00:33:00Alright.
00:33:02Let's go.
00:33:06Good.
00:33:08Good.
00:33:09Good.
00:33:11Good.
00:33:13Good.
00:33:14Good.
00:33:16Good.
00:33:28Let's go, let's go, let's move.
00:33:34Hang on.
00:33:37And dismount.
00:33:46So, what do we know?
00:33:48Waffles are delicious.
00:33:50Super delicious.
00:33:52What I meant about meeting Santa.
00:33:53We know no one's ever done it.
00:33:56Hmm.
00:33:57Okay, how about this?
00:33:59I'm going to sit in the living room with my eyes wide open like this.
00:34:04And if I start to drift off, I'll just open them wider.
00:34:08Um, I'm pretty sure you're going to fall asleep.
00:34:10And by the time you wake up, he'll be gone.
00:34:14Nothing but cookie crumbs.
00:34:16Yeah, you're right.
00:34:18I got it.
00:34:19Tell me.
00:34:20Maple syrup.
00:34:21All right, maple syrup.
00:34:23We pour it on the roof.
00:34:24The reindeer get stuck.
00:34:25And then they can't fly away.
00:34:27Science.
00:34:28Won't the syrup just freeze?
00:34:30Good point.
00:34:31Also, how do we get all that syrup on the roof?
00:34:34Yeah, I got nothing.
00:34:35Huh.
00:34:36Ah.
00:34:38Wait a minute.
00:34:40I think I got it.
00:34:42What?
00:34:43We're going to need the whole gang for this one.
00:34:47Okay.
00:34:48If I'm going to become Santa, then I need to get into character.
00:34:54All right.
00:34:55Let's see.
00:34:55Christmas tree.
00:34:57Christmas traditions.
00:34:58Christmas pudding.
00:34:59How does pudding work its way to everything?
00:35:01Where is the Santa stuff?
00:35:03Look at this.
00:35:04Little girls and boys giggling over sugar plums.
00:35:08Oh.
00:35:09Look how they did the roof of the gingerbread house with vanilla icing.
00:35:15Little family of gumdrops.
00:35:19Ahem.
00:35:20Yeah.
00:35:20So dumb.
00:35:21So, so stupidly dumb.
00:35:24Ah, here we are.
00:35:25The legend of Santa Claus.
00:35:27Red suit.
00:35:28White beard.
00:35:29Always in a jolly mood.
00:35:32Oh.
00:35:33That's not going to happen.
00:35:34Oh, well.
00:35:35Let's just start by finding ourselves some reindeer.
00:35:38Oh.
00:35:42Oh.
00:35:47Beautiful, isn't it, Max?
00:35:49This, my little friend, is the rain horn.
00:35:53It perfectly recreates the mating call of the reindeer.
00:35:56Behold.
00:36:06Oh.
00:36:07Hey there.
00:36:08Sorry, little goat.
00:36:09I was calling for a rain...
00:36:11Ah!
00:36:13What was that?
00:36:14Scrab!
00:36:15Skedaddle!
00:36:16Strange goat.
00:36:20Now, reindeer migrate, so maybe we'll catch if you head it south for the winter.
00:36:25I also read that they tend to mate in densely wooded...
00:36:27Well, you stop following us!
00:36:30Shoo!
00:36:31Away!
00:36:31Go back to the goat farm.
00:36:33Go eat a can.
00:36:36All right, now that that's over, back to the task at hand.
00:36:41Woo!
00:36:42It's a little crisp.
00:36:44Oh, it's getting really cold.
00:36:48Oh, goodness.
00:36:51Can't feel my lips.
00:36:54Can't drink ice frozen!
00:37:03Max, we've hit the mother load.
00:37:08We'll have 100 reindeer to pull up.
00:37:12Ah!
00:37:20Ah!
00:37:31Well, Santa had eight.
00:37:33He looks like he ate the other seven.
00:37:37Watch and learn, Max.
00:37:39Thanks.
00:37:40All right.
00:38:09Ah!
00:38:14Ah!
00:38:15Ha-ha-ha-ha!
00:38:20Ah! Ah!
00:38:26Oh, some stinker! Stop! Stop!
00:38:30Onward, my furry friends.
00:38:33We're walking toward destiny.
00:38:49All right, you called, we came.
00:38:51So what's up?
00:38:51Yeah, what's the deal?
00:38:52Thanks for getting here so fast, guys.
00:38:54Follow me.
00:38:59So what's the big secret?
00:39:01Yeah, I don't have very long.
00:39:02My parents set the timer.
00:39:04Dude, don't ask.
00:39:05It's new.
00:39:07All right, everybody. Brace yourselves.
00:39:09In exactly 48 hours.
00:39:11We're going to do something
00:39:13that's never been done before.
00:39:16We're gonna...
00:39:18Trap Santa Claus!
00:39:26Trap Santa? Why would we want to do that?
00:39:29Duh. To steal all his toys.
00:39:31I love it. Oh, yeah. That's a great idea.
00:39:33No, not to steal his toys.
00:39:36To, um...
00:39:37To talk to him.
00:39:38What? Why'd you want to talk to him?
00:39:40It's personal.
00:39:41Yeah, it's kind of personal.
00:39:42Well, I don't want to do it if you won't tell me why.
00:39:45What are you talking about personal?
00:39:46Axel, when you asked to borrow $16 in my mom's suitcase,
00:39:50did I ask you why?
00:39:52No.
00:39:53And what about you, Ozzy?
00:39:55Remember when you got stuck in that?
00:39:56All right, all right, okay.
00:39:57Geez.
00:39:58I did it because you're my friend.
00:40:00And when something matters to you,
00:40:01that means it matters to me.
00:40:05That's beautiful.
00:40:06Okay, okay, okay.
00:40:08You convinced me.
00:40:09Count me in, too.
00:40:10All right, we're in.
00:40:11Great.
00:40:12Now let's do this.
00:40:13Yeah, let's do this.
00:40:13Let's make it happen.
00:40:15Let's go to the bikes.
00:40:27Time to eat.
00:40:28Ooh, dinner.
00:40:29All right.
00:40:30We meet first thing in the morning.
00:40:31Okay.
00:40:31All right.
00:40:32See you guys in the morning.
00:40:33Audrey, kinder.
00:40:35Okay, Mom.
00:40:52This is the last one.
00:40:53The loudest snow I've ever heard in my life.
00:40:56You two, go around the back.
00:40:58Wait for me to drop the sleigh from the roof.
00:41:01Okay?
00:41:03Go team.
00:41:25There's no clue.
00:41:26You two, go around the back.
00:41:28There's no clue.
00:41:29There's no clue.
00:41:30Oh!
00:41:31Oh!
00:41:34Oh!
00:41:35Oh!
00:41:36Uh!
00:41:36Oh, oh!
00:41:38Oh!
00:41:41Huh.
00:41:48Oh!
00:41:50Oh!
00:41:50Oh!
00:41:50Oh!
00:41:51Oh!
00:42:04What? What's going on?
00:42:08Hey, who taught Mabel how to use the doorbell?
00:42:11Man, that's awesome.
00:42:12You smart little dog.
00:42:25Huh? What's this?
00:42:27We live in heavenly peace.
00:42:51All right, here it comes. Get ready.
00:43:12Oh, look at that. Mabel is delivering cakes now. I mean, is this the best Christmas or what?
00:43:30Holy moly.
00:43:34Man, I don't know what's in this cake, but I think I just saw Santa Claus. Let me get another
00:43:39piece.
00:43:44Today was great. We did mean things and we did them in style.
00:43:53Max, you know the rules. You sleep in your bed and I sleep in.
00:44:00Oh, no, no, not you two. I don't believe this. Max, did you teach him puppy eyes?
00:44:12Fine. This one time.
00:44:14I don't know what's in this game.
00:45:01It's fine.
00:45:02Oh, no, no, no.
00:45:13Even if you get out of time.
00:45:37Now that is a great cup of coffee.
00:45:44Max, this morning, you and I need to do some recon.
00:45:48Fred, you just sit right there.
00:45:50And don't touch anything.
00:45:54Intel, Max, that's what we're after.
00:45:56How many houses are in Whoville and how many Who's?
00:45:59How many wreaths and trees and chimney flues?
00:46:03I'll be in your ear the whole time,
00:46:05and whatever you're seeing, I'll be seeing on the monitor.
00:46:08Ready? Now off you go, Max.
00:46:11Fly, boy, fly!
00:46:22Max, stop socializing!
00:46:26Now, let's go in for a look.
00:46:31Okay, six houses on Oak Street.
00:46:33Oh, watch out!
00:46:34What?
00:46:36Okay, go, go, go, go!
00:46:38Now cut through Main Street and survey the south side.
00:46:42Look at those greedy little gift monsters.
00:46:45Loading themselves up with Christmas junk.
00:46:49Okay, Max, turn right here.
00:46:51So I woke up this morning.
00:46:52Got dressed, had my coffee, went outside, looked on the roof.
00:46:55My sleigh was gone.
00:46:56My, my, I wonder who took it.
00:46:59What?
00:47:00Okay, let's see here.
00:47:01If we do 28 houses an hour for six hours, that would be sausages.
00:47:06Sausages?
00:47:07Max, don't even think about it.
00:47:14Max!
00:47:18Max, are you okay?
00:47:20Max!
00:47:21Oh, hey, look, it's me.
00:47:23Oh, dear.
00:47:24Ah!
00:47:26Bad dog.
00:47:28Fred!
00:47:29We're home!
00:47:31Fred!
00:47:33What are you doing?
00:47:40Okay.
00:47:42Come on, we got work to do.
00:47:46Now, let's plan our route.
00:47:51First, now we go south, quick jaunt to the east, and then this house, skip the subdivision
00:47:56for the moment, knock off the entire southeast quadrant of the town, and then we finish it
00:48:00all up on Whistling Hoo Lane.
00:48:05That's 223 houses and only seven hours of darkness to work with.
00:48:09That means we have to be fast and focused.
00:48:12And believe you me, there will be temptation all around us.
00:48:23Behold, the present.
00:48:25This is our enemy.
00:48:27You will want to unwrap it and play with it.
00:48:32These are a few of my favorite things.
00:48:36But you must not!
00:48:38And if you can get past the present, the only obstacle left is...
00:48:45The cookie.
00:48:47Look at it in all its red, sugary splendor.
00:48:50No, no, no!
00:48:52Look at yourselves!
00:48:54Discipline!
00:48:54We must...
00:48:59Resist.
00:49:01Are you ready?
00:49:03Almost!
00:49:04Good!
00:49:05Think jolly!
00:49:06And sad!
00:49:07Okay, I'm ready!
00:49:08Alright, quick!
00:49:09Everybody hide!
00:49:11Three, two, one...
00:49:13Cue Santa!
00:49:15That means you, grouper.
00:49:16Ah!
00:49:18Duh!
00:49:21Oh, ho, ho, ho!
00:49:22Look at this pretty house!
00:49:24I will leave presents for the people.
00:49:27Come on!
00:49:27It's not the school of play, dude!
00:49:29Then why do I have to wear the outfit?
00:49:30Rupert!
00:49:31Focus!
00:49:31Just get the cookie!
00:49:33But I can see the string!
00:49:35Stop worrying!
00:49:36It'll be dark at night!
00:49:37What if he has a flashlight?
00:49:39Have you ever seen a picture of Santa with a flashlight?
00:49:41No, but I just...
00:49:42Rupert!
00:49:43Just pick up the cookie!
00:49:45Hmm...
00:49:46What do we have here?
00:49:48A delicious little cookie.
00:49:54Rupert!
00:49:58Rupert?
00:49:58Uh...
00:49:59Hey, guys!
00:50:01Do I still get to eat the cookie?
00:50:07Alrighty.
00:50:08So I tinkered with our sleigh a bit...
00:50:12Behold!
00:50:25Look at this, Max!
00:50:26Now you'll be riding in style!
00:50:29A throne for a barking prince!
00:50:31How do you like that?
00:50:33Rupert!
00:50:34Rupert!
00:50:34Rupert!
00:50:35Rupert!
00:50:35Rupert!
00:50:35Rupert!
00:50:36Rupert!
00:50:37Rupert!
00:50:38Rupert!
00:50:38Rupert!
00:50:38Rupert!
00:50:39Rupert!
00:50:39Rupert!
00:50:39Rupert!
00:50:41Rupert!
00:50:42Rupert!
00:50:51Rupert!
00:50:59Rupert!
00:51:08Rupert!
00:51:10Rupert!
00:51:11Rupert!
00:51:14Rupert!
00:51:27Rupert!
00:51:29Rupert!
00:51:29Rupert!
00:51:53Rupert!
00:51:54Rupert!
00:51:56Rupert!
00:52:06Rupert!
00:52:11It's okay, Fred...
00:52:31Oh, on our own again, Max.
00:52:42It was the day before Christmas, and the Whos were abuzz, all doing the things that a Christmas
00:52:48who does.
00:52:51Some were out buying presents, others just milled about.
00:52:55But the whole town felt joyous.
00:52:57Of that there was no doubt.
00:53:00The weather was perfect, and soon snow would fall.
00:53:03This surely would be the best Christmas of all.
00:53:20Max!
00:53:21There you are!
00:53:22Check this out!
00:53:23Whoa!
00:53:24Ah!
00:53:25I've been making lots of cool...
00:53:27Whoa!
00:53:28Ha-ha!
00:53:29Stuff!
00:53:30Ooh, more coffee!
00:53:34It's gonna be a big night.
00:53:36We got all the gizmos and gazmos we need, but we still don't have the proper outfit.
00:53:41Come on, let's do a little stitching.
00:53:44A giz I'm preparing, for some Christmas sharing, but I pause because...
00:53:52Hang in my stocket, I can hear him knocking.
00:53:56Is that you, Santa Claus?
00:54:08There's only one thing left to do.
00:54:11That's him, alright.
00:54:15Max, do you know what you are?
00:54:17You are a sturdy little fella.
00:54:22And loyal.
00:54:23Very loyal.
00:54:25In fact, I think you're the best dog a Grinch could hope for.
00:54:31And that is why...
00:54:33I'm promoting you.
00:54:37Max!
00:54:39You will guide my sleigh tonight!
00:54:46Ha-ha!
00:54:49Ha-ha!
00:54:51I knew you wouldn't let me down.
00:54:58It was now Christmas Eve.
00:55:00There was joy in the air.
00:55:02For in just a few hours, Santa Claus would be there.
00:55:06And the gifts would be left, and the stockings all filled.
00:55:10And the anticipation, well, it started to build.
00:55:16Ozzy, what are you doing?
00:55:17Trying to get myself tired.
00:55:21Alright, eight hours till Christmas morning.
00:55:24That's 28,800 seconds.
00:55:26Okay.
00:55:27And sleep!
00:55:29Waffle One, this is Waffle Two.
00:55:31Are you there?
00:55:32Over.
00:55:32I read you loud and clear, Waffle Two.
00:55:35This is Grouper, by the way.
00:55:37Yeah, I got that.
00:55:38Oh!
00:55:39I just wanted to wish you good luck with Santa Claus.
00:55:42Thanks!
00:55:42Talk tomorrow.
00:55:44So, you got any last minute wishes for Santa?
00:55:48Yep.
00:55:48I have one great big wish.
00:55:51Good.
00:55:51Because you deserve everything you want and more.
00:55:55Thanks, Mom.
00:55:56I want the same thing for you.
00:56:00How did I end up with such a wonderful daughter?
00:56:02I don't know.
00:56:03Sometimes you just get lucky.
00:56:05Well, then I really did.
00:56:06Me too.
00:56:08I love you, Mom.
00:56:09I love you, sweetheart.
00:56:12Goodnight.
00:56:14Goodnight.
00:56:15Goodnight.
00:56:37The Grinch was now ready to start his big trip.
00:56:41He stood like a captain aboard a great ship.
00:56:44Yes, the time had now come to take off like a shot.
00:56:48Here we go, Max.
00:56:50Let's see what you've got.
00:56:58What?
00:57:00Max?
00:57:02Max, are you okay?
00:57:05Huh?
00:57:13Yeah, Max!
00:57:15Attaboy!
00:57:16Go, boy!
00:57:17Go!
00:57:19And down the Grinch came on his great fateful ride.
00:57:23Toward the good homes of Whoville.
00:57:26And the Christmas inside.
00:57:28And the Christmas inside.
00:57:36He had planned it and prepped it.
00:57:39Big detail to small.
00:57:43Yes, he'd get rid of Christmas now once and for all.
00:57:48You take the outside.
00:57:50I'll take the inside.
00:57:58House number one.
00:58:16He was ready to pounce and set the score right.
00:58:20He'd make up for the past and he'd do it tonight.
00:58:24Okay.
00:58:25Now let's steal Christmas.
00:58:29He swept up their presents with the speed of a whiz.
00:58:33And he knew he'd cause sadness.
00:58:36Only theirs now.
00:58:37Not his.
00:59:16All this excess and nonsense, it was all about greed.
00:59:19About meaningless stuff that they didn't even need.
00:59:24Yeah.
00:59:32The Grinch went to work.
00:59:34He scooped up the toys.
00:59:36He raced against time.
00:59:38He raced against joy.
00:59:46He hit a few snags as he made his way through.
00:59:49An angry orange cat.
00:59:53And a sleepwalking Who.
01:00:02Thank you mommy.
01:00:05He stole pop guns and bicycles, roller skates, drums, checker boards, tricycles, popcorn and plums.
01:00:14Gadgets and gizmos and dolls with strange names.
01:00:18Goof balls and shloof balls and video games.
01:00:49And he swiped.
01:00:51And he poached.
01:00:52Yes, the stealing was on.
01:00:54And this day that he hated, well, he made it be gone.
01:01:04This is it.
01:01:05The last house.
01:01:16Datching through the snow in a Wandago mystery.
01:01:22Oh, one more house to go, and Christmas goes away.
01:01:30Ha!
01:01:31Ha ha ha ha!
01:01:33Huh?
01:01:39Huh?
01:01:40Oh.
01:01:41Oh, what the heck?
01:01:43Huh?
01:01:49He's here!
01:01:51What the...
01:01:55Oh, wow.
01:01:57Wow.
01:02:07Hi, guys.
01:02:10Santa Claus.
01:02:14Hello. A little help, please?
01:02:17I'll let you know. Just give me a minute.
01:02:19That would be great.
01:02:20I'm coming.
01:02:21Just trying to remember which cord it is.
01:02:24Oh, no.
01:02:26I'm so sorry. Are you okay?
01:02:29Yeah, I guess so.
01:02:31Let me help you.
01:02:34Sit down here.
01:02:37Drink this.
01:02:39It'll make you feel better.
01:02:42Uh, thanks.
01:02:46Wow. I can't believe it's really you.
01:02:51Yeah.
01:02:52I'm so sorry about the trap and everything, but I really need to...
01:02:55Hey, why are you taking our Christmas tree?
01:03:01Well...
01:03:02Oh, one of the lights wasn't working, so I thought I'd take it back to the workshop and see if
01:03:07I could fix it.
01:03:09I didn't know you did that.
01:03:11Yeah, sure. Now, why don't you go back upstairs to bed, and then when you wake up, the tree will
01:03:16be fixed and your presents will be waiting under.
01:03:18Wait, you don't understand. I don't want presents.
01:03:21Of course you do. Everyone wants presents.
01:03:24No, no, really, I don't. I want you to help my mom.
01:03:27Your mom?
01:03:28Yeah. She works so hard and is always doing stuff for other people. And I just want her to be
01:03:36happy.
01:03:37You want me to help your mom?
01:03:41You're Santa. You make people happy. And everyone should be happy, right?
01:03:49Yeah, I guess they should.
01:03:54Santa, are you okay?
01:03:57What? Uh, yeah, I'm fine.
01:04:02Now, why don't you go back up to bed, hmm?
01:04:05Okay.
01:04:07I wish you could celebrate with us tomorrow. We all get together and sing.
01:04:12It's so beautiful that if you close your eyes and listen, all of your sadness just goes away.
01:04:25That sounds nice.
01:04:29Huh?
01:04:34Thank you, Santa.
01:04:37Good night.
01:04:42Good night.
01:04:57I just met the strangest little Who girl.
01:05:05All right, Max. Let's go.
01:05:12He tried to forget it. But the words filled his head. And he found himself thinking about what the young
01:05:19girl had said.
01:05:20It was hard to imagine. Could it really be true? But if they could all be happy, maybe he could
01:05:28be too.
01:05:28It's hard to know.
01:05:29It was hard to know. It was hard to know. It's hard to know. It's hard to know. But the
01:05:56big girl has to know a little girl.
01:06:01her head fell unsteady and her heart was just sick it must be a joke or a prank or a
01:06:09trick

01:06:16and then one little girl realized she might just know

01:11:05Uh, it was me.
01:11:15I stole your Christmas.

01:15:38Huh. Isn't that thoughtful?

01:15:48Grinchy, I see, standing over there.

01:16:28Would you do the honors, Mr. Grinch?
01:16:30Oh, okay.
01:16:35Do you mind if I say something first?
01:16:38Not at all.
01:16:41Well, everybody, I just want to say

01:16:47hating Christmas and everything about it.
01:16:52But now I see that it wasn't Christmas I hated.
