The Grinch tells the story of a cynical grump who goes on a mission to steal Christmas, only to have his heart changed by a young girl's generous holiday spirit.

Funny and heart-warming, it's a universal story about the spirit of Christmas. The infamous Grinch lives alone inside a cave with only his loyal dog, Max. With a cave rigged with inventions and contraptions, the Grinch only sees his neighbours in Whoville when he runs out of food. Each year at Christmas they disrupt his tranquil solitude with their celebrations. When they declare they are going to make Christmas three times bigger this year, the Grinch realises there is only one way for him to get some peace and quiet: he must steal Christmas! At The Showroom Cinema from December 21-30, at 12.35pm each day.
