Furthermore, the sets in the film are so colorful and cartoon-like, that no child in today's society should be scared by the evil-looking Grinch or the town of Whoville.

   The story is the same one we all grew up with: high above Whoville lives a mean old Grinch who wants to steal Christmas away from the citizens of Whoville. However, unlike the book we get a more in-depth look at why the Grinch is the way he is. We see how the Grinch was teased as a child by the now-Mayor of Whoville; we see how he was in love with the woman the Mayor is now engaged to, and we see how he tried to fit Whoville's norm to be accepted. Although this is all done in Suess-fashion, kids can relate to the peer pressure issues and the desire to fit in that the Grinch faces.
