Chaque année à Noël, ils viennent perturber sa tranquillité solitaire avec des célébrations toujours plus grandioses, brillantes et bruyantes. Quand les Chous déclarent qu’ils vont célébrer Noël trois fois plus fort cette année, le Grinch réalise qu’il n’a plus qu’une solution pour retrouver la paix et la tranquillité : il doit voler Noël. Il décide ainsi de se faire passer pour le Père Noël le jour des célébrations, allant même jusqu’à piéger un renne étrange et peu sympathique pour tirer son traineau. Pendant ce temps, de retour à Chouville,Cindy-Lou, une Chou-fillette déborde d’idées avec sa bande d’amis pour capturer le Père Noël alors qu’il fait sa tournée des cadeaux, afin de pouvoir le remercier pour son aide apportée à sa mère célibataire croulant sous le travail. Toutefois, alors que Noël approche, ses gentilles manigances menacent les plans abominables du Grinch. Cindy-Lou parviendra-t-elle finalement à rencontrer le Père Noël ? Le Grinch réussira-t-il à réduire au silence les célébrations des Chous une fois pour toutes ? (Universal International FR)

A delightful animated tale that captures Grinch's classic grumpiness, especially in the lead-up to Christmas. It often reminded me of the live-action version with Jim Carrey, which I still find better, more charming, and funnier. While this version is enjoyable, I could have done without the numerous scenes set to hip-hop music.

An enjoyable modern animated version of the Grinch that leaves the live-action version with Jim Carrey far behind. At Illumination, they are used to giving space to Dr. Seuss, so it's difficult for an adult to be entertained. The only negative is the modern song soundtrack by Pharrell Williams, which does not fit the concept of a family film.

The latest adaptation of the story about the green, hairy grump who didn't really like Christmas differs in many ways from the 2000 feature version starring Jim Carrey as the Grinch (I haven't seen the first 1966 film yet). It's definitely more for children and tries perhaps a little too blatantly to moralise the younger audience, which was also the case in the feature film, but the latter was darker. What I missed a bit was the illumination of the Grinch's origins, which were handled quite nicely in the 2000 film. I could go on comparing like this, but I don't really want to do. The new Grinch is certainly not lacking in pretty and colorful visuals. The funniest characters were definitely the animals – Max and Fred really rocked – if it weren't for them, you wouldn't even laugh much. While the film is primarily aimed at children, the message that Christmas is not about presents and money, but about values beyond the material world, is appropriate for all.
