Grinch doesn't look like the Grinch, Max doesn't look like Max, animation is awful, story is sub par and almost unrecognizable as a Dr. Seuss story, and the ending is out of the 1940's instead of 1982. If you feel that you need to see it, especially don't watch it at the same time you watch the Wonderful animated Grinch Stole Christmas - it will suck the joy and happiness from your soul. Yes, it's that horrible.
