Based on the classic children's book by the legendary Dr. Seuss, the live action movie takes viewers inside a snowflake to Whoville, the magical land of the Whos. But high above this holiday-loving town resides the Grinch (Jim Carrey), a nasty creature with a heart three sizes too small, who hates Christmas and plots to steal it from the Whos. Will a greedy Mayor Augustus Maywho (Jeffrey Tambor) or the seductive Martha May Whovier (Christine Baranski) foil his plans? Or will it be the loving little Cindy Lous Who (Taylor Momsen) who will teach him the true meaning of Christmas?

Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas was directed by Ron Howard with the screenplay by Jeffrey Price and Peter S. Seaman. Mr. Howard and Brian Grazer were producers and Todd Hallowell served as executive producer.
