His latest film, The Grinch, conveys a timeless message that is yet quite relevant. When he [the Grinch] discovers that Christmas isn't about consumerism, but about joy and kindness and charity, he says love and kindness are the things we most need, as the actor stated it in his own distinctive way. The character also teaches us that happiness doesn't come from getting what you want, but from helping others find joy even in difficult circumstances. The Grinch's story is based on Dr. Seuss' book of the same name. It was first released in 1966. In addition to its musical score and several other adaptations, the movie version of The Grinch was also made in 2001, which didn't feature any characters from Dr. Seuss' book but rather focused on another character created by Dr. Seuss called Max. This second movie was also successful with fans and critics alike. Max tells us that "Christmas is not just a holiday season; it's a state of mind. And so, if you take away everyone's fear of losing something valuable, then you can truly say that nothing matters." This quote really captures the essence of The Grinch's message that happiness does not depend on getting what you want, but rather on giving back, loving others, and making the world a better place for everyone. Also worth mentioning is that The Grinch did very well at the box office when it was first released.
