Plot – From a cave located on the top of Mount Crumpit near Whoville village, a crabby caveman watches its inhabitants preparing to celebrate Christmas. Everytime he gets a new idea, a wonderful evil idea, his face changes into devilish expressions. Wacht out: this one is not any caveman. He's wicked, hateful, evil, astute, dirty, annoying, angry, rude, vile, intolerant, smelly and everything but nice: he's the Grinch and he's tired of all these festivities.
