The Flick Filosopher | Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25) |
 | | Born on Christmas Eve in the manner of all Who babies, carried in on the wind, though of course this particular night it was "a strange wind," the baby Grinch is ignored at first because the fine people of Whoville are busy at, yes, a holiday wife-swap and general bacchanalia. |
 | | The Grinch, does, of course, still go through with his "wonderful, awful idea" to steal Christmas, and it should have actually worked this time, because all the avaricious, materialistic Whos seem to care about is their stuff. |
 | | How the Grinch Stole Christmas should have and could have been uncanny and disquieting in a Tim Burton way, leaving you feeling unsettled at human cruelty, but instead it candy-coats the petty, everyday awfulness of human beings. |
