|'''The Grinch'''}}
A 2000 film based upon [[How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (novel)|the book of the same name]], starring [[Jim Carrey]] as [[The Grinch]]. While it still follows upon the original book, it featured [[Adaptation Expansion|an additional backstory]]. To date, it is the second highest-grossing Christmas film of all time, next to ''[[Home Alone]]''.
Line 30:
* [[Chewing the Scenery]]: Jim Carrey takes it a little too far when he eats a wine bottle.
* [[Crap Saccharine World]]: A light example. While Whoville seems like a festive, friendly place at first, the Grinch points out that most of the inhabitants are interested in Christmas for greedy or competitive reasons.
* [[Darker and Edgier]]
* [[Delivery Stork]]
* [[Devil in Plain Sight]]: Mayor Augustus Maywho.
Line 89 ⟶ 90:
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: 2003's live-action film of Dr. Seuss' ''The Cat in the Hat'', from the same production company and with Mike Myers as the Cat. Incidentally, [[Jim Carrey|guess who voiced Horton]] in Blue Sky Studios' ''[[Horton Hears a Who!]]'' in 2008.
* [[Timeshifted Actor]]{{context}}
* [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist]]: The Grinch.
* [[Up to Eleven]]: Inverted in the beginning as the Grinch's heart is two sizes smaller than what a normal one should be. Played straight By the end, as it's not only grown to a normal size, but ''one size farther!''
