"The, the, the, THE GRINCH" is bringing fans back to Who-ville.
Dr. Seuss' classic book "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" is getting a sequel, Dr. Seuss Enterprises and Penguin Random House Children's Book announced Thursday.
The new book titled "How the Grinch Lost Christmas!" is written by Alastair Heim and illustrated by Aristides Ruiz. Both Heim and Ruiz have been involved in several Dr. Seuss projects, with the former writing "If I Ran Your School" and "I Am the Cat in the Hat" and the latter with experience illustrating the Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library books for more than two decades.
"All throughout writing the story, I couldn’t fully believe that I was actually getting to play in the amazing creative sandbox Dr. Seuss created all those decades ago," Heim said to the Associated Press in an email.
Ruiz added: "When I heard of the opportunity to be a part of this project, I jumped at the chance only to find that it was difficult and daunting to approach adding to or expanding such an esteemed and treasured part of the American Christmas canon."
"How the Grinch Lost Christmas!" is set one year after the cult favorite 1957 original.
What is the plot of 'How the Grinch Lost Christmas!'?
"How the Grinch Lost Christmas!" fills in the gaps for fans who may be wondering what happened in the year after the Grinch's heart grew three sizes after he embraced the spirit of Christmas.
The Grinch plans to win over the rest of Who-ville by proving his love for the holiday. To do so, he sets out to win Who-ville’s Christmas Crown by "making the largest, most spectacular Christmas tree the Whos have ever seen!"
"When things don’t go as planned, the Grinch’s heart turns ice-cold, and he threatens to leave Who-ville for good," a release states. That is until Cindy-Lou Who is able to remind him what Christmas is all about.
When does the new book come out?
"How the Grinch Lost Christmas!" is scheduled for release on Sept. 5.
The original Grinch book has sold nearly 10 million copies in North America alone and like other Seuss books has been translated into multiple languages. It was made into a 1966 animated TV special narrated by Boris Karloff, a 2000 live-action movie starring Jim Carrey and a computer-animated film in 2018 with Benedict Cumberbatch voicing the Grinch.
...unsure how to feel about this, tbh.

It'll never happen because Bo Welch thought dick jokes in a kids movie was a good idea, but I'd be down for this. |

The Grinch passes away because your heart growing three sizes in a matter of seconds is a deadly problem.

Meh. Grinch is a cash cow. No one will take the original book, etc etc.
Can't be worse than Mean One too.

How the Grinch Stole Groundhog's Day.
Who doesn't want to see Jim Carrey dressed in that costume going after that adorable puppet from Caddyshack?
What's that? YOU don't want to? Yes you do stop lying.

You're a dickweed, Mister Grinch
You really take the piss
Your manners are abhorrent
And your demise would bring me bliss
Mister Griiiiinch
Your appeal is even less than
An NFT of rotting fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiish

Yes you do stop lying. Honestly a movie (or book) where, even though the Grinch has grown to appreciate Christmas, still needs an outlet for his anger and decides to start grinching other random holidays throughout the year only to fail for various comical reasons could be pretty fun. |

There's a Halloween special with the Grinch already, I think you can watch it on Youtube probably. It's a prequel to him stealing Christmas. I didn't like it that much though. It's called Halloween is Grinch Night |

It's called Halloween is Grinch Night I've seen it. It's a very drug-induced hallucination of a show. |

The Grinch could have run ins with the Easter Bunny and fight a group of leprechauns for Saint Patricks Day. I do like the potential that is there. |

I swear there was a Grinch sequel story already, perhaps in a short format in a newspaper or something, that had elements incorporated into the Jim Carey movie (mainly the Who’s being obsessed with Christmas consumerism)
I think maybe it had an older Cindy Lou Who who asked the Grinch to steal the Who’s stuff again to remind them about the real meaning of Christmas
But I can’t ever seem to find proof it exists.
I wonder if it was an unauthorized thing?

I'm guessing it's not this one lol www.nytimes.com/2017/09/15/books/dr-seuss-grinch-law-suit.html...interesting about how the courts decided that didn't violate copyright law |

Halloween is Grinch Night was a previous story, not sure if you'd call it a sequel but it's basically Grinch's Halloween special
Best of luck to this one, I guess.
