When the cartoon came out “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas” it was a fun cartoon for kids who got to see how the Grinch finally liked Christmas. In the movie ”The Grinch” starring Jim Carey If we would watch it with adult eyes there are so many different messages which we could pass on to our children and grandchildren. This story opens up and the evil, angry green creature the Grinch is living atop Mount Crumpet all alone with his dog Max. We don’t know why and we don’t know how he came to be living there.

He almost chooses not to accept the invitation because he remembers what they all did to him so long ago but finally goes anyway. Everything seems to go quite well as well as it can no one could think that suddenly the Grinch would be overly friendly. Things get terribly wrong, terribly fast. The girl that the Grinch fell in love with at one time is there and the mayor publicly asks for her hand in marriage and what do you think they offer as a prize for being Ceremony Master? They gift the Grinch with a shaver the same kind which he used on that fateful day all those many years ago. Well needless to say it ends in fiasco and do those Whos admit their mistake? They put the blame on the fiasco on little Cindy Lou.
It takes a big heart to say I’m sorry and if such a gesture is made then there should be no references to what started the problems in the first place there should be just a brand new beginning.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas and A Christmas Carol are two very similar stories. In the stories A Christmas Carol and How The Grinch Stole Christmas, there are two characters who are a good example of this. A Christmas Carol is a story about a grumpy old man named Ebenezer Scrooge who only cares about money and needs to be taught a lesson.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas”, also known as “The Grinch”, is a 2000 family-based, Christmas-themed, comedy film delivered by Universal and Imagine Entertainment and based on the 1957 children’s picture book written by Dr. Seuss of the same name. Directed by Ron Howard (who also directed “Splash”, “Rush”, and “The Dilemma”), “The Grinch” was the first full-length feature film adapted from the series of outstanding and beloved Dr. Seuss tales. Since the film was the first to be based off one of Seuss’s famous children's books, many additions had to be made to the storyline to make the film fit the era’s “standards” by bringing it up to feature-length, leaving the young and older audience intrigued, and most importantly keeping the legacy of Dr. Seuss's works intact. In addition, this included adding some vivid information about the

When people are asked to name some of the classic Christmas movies, they are quick to say movies such as Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (1964), Frosty the Snowman (1969), and How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), but they forget to mention the dismal, chilling The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993). But why is that, doesn’t Tim Burton still show the joy that Christmas brings, but in a slightly new perspective? Aren’t The Nightmare Before Christmas and How the Grinch Stole Christmas quite similar depictions of how some may deal with the “Christmas blues”? The Nightmare Before Christmas and How the Grinch Stole Christmas both originated as poems with rhythms similar to most Christmas poems. Tim Burton and Dr. Seuss both portray the cliché themes

The Narrator states, "And what happened then, Well... In Who-Ville they say that the Grinch 's heart grew 3 sizes that day" (Seuss) This shows that the Grinch physically changed through the story and was able to give back the Christmas presents he stole back to all the people from Who-Ville.

The Grinch Who Stole Christmas The Grinch who stole Christmas is one of my favorite Dr. Seuss books and one of my favorite Christmas movies. I found 3 things similar to one another in the book and the movie which had the Grinch who hated Christmas, the Who’s who loved Christmas, and the Grinch stole all of the presents and food. One identical thing I found in the movie and book was that the Grinch hated Christmas. If they didn’t put the Grinch’s hate for Christmas in both the book and, he would have no reason to steal Christmas and it wouldn’t have been a very good movie.

He wants to completely eliminate Christmas from “Whoville.” The Grinch gets irritated whenever when he hears the singing from the children and sees families feasting together in the holiday season. However, as the poem progress, the Grinch starts to feel the love and happiness involved with Christmas and ends up correcting his wrongdoings to ultimately enjoy Christmas with the “Whos.”

From the beginning of the film, it was clear that Eva Perón was a powerful woman. She had a rough upbringing and the way she lived her life represented it. As a child born out of wedlock, she was considered illegitimate and was constantly questioned about the rights she had to do things. The scene where anti-Peronists denounced Eva by calling her a “bitch”, “whore”, and how she was just a “lowly actress” is a clear representation of this. She brought this vengeance with her in her motive to become vice president.
