How have I gone 43 years on this earth and never found out about this cartoon from 1977?!
I love the Grinch Who Stole Christmas and this appears to be its sequel? But it's a little confusing to the timeline.
The story is about the Who's who smell a sour sweet wind roll into their town. They all hide in their houses because it means the Grinch is coming down from his mountain.
As the Grinch and Max slowly ride down the mountain, the Grinch is running over flowers and scowling at everything he sees. A Who is giving a radio broadcast to everyone of what the Grinch is up to and a little boy is tired of hiding in his house so he goes outside and encounters the Grinch.
The Grinch tries to scare him but it doesn't work, so he goes away. The boy follows him and ask the Grinch to do his worst scare on him to see if it works. Cut to a montage Dr Suess nightmare that the boy blows off.
Afterwards, the wind dies and things start to calm down as the Grinch decides to leave back to his home.
The reason this doesn't sound like a sequel is because the Grinch is still sour and the Who's are afraid of him. The reason it doesn't work as a prequel is because Max decides to leave him in the end and live with the boy's family who is nicer to him.
It ends with the Who's celebrating the Grinch being gone and runs about 25 min.
Weird stuff. Glad I saw it but I would only recommend seeing it once, it's not good enough to become a holiday tradition.
