The Grinch: watch the brand new trailer

A new trailer has been released for upcoming animated festive movie The Grinch.

Based on Dr. Seuss’ beloved holiday classic, The Grinch features the voice of Benedict Cumberbatch as the titular character. The voice cast also includes Rashida Jones, Kenan Thompson, Cameron Seely and Angela Lansbury.

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 girlā€™s generous holiday spirit. Funny, heart warming and visually stunning, itā€™s a universal story about the spirit of Christmas and the indomitable power of optimism.

The Grinch lives a solitary life inside a cave on Mt. Crumpit with only his loyal dog, Max, for company. With a cave rigged with inventions and contraptions for his day-to-day needs, the Grinch only sees his neighbours in Who-ville when he runs out of food.

Each year at Christmas they disrupt his tranquil solitude with their increasingly bigger, brighter and louder celebrations. When the Whos declare they are going to make Christmas three times bigger this year, the Grinch realizes there is only one way for him to gain some peace and quiet: he must steal Christmas. To do so, he decides he will pose as Santa Claus on Christmas Eve, even going so far as to trap a lackadaisical misfit reindeer to pull his sleigh.

Meanwhile, down in Who-ville, Cindy-Lou Who-a young girl overflowing with holiday cheer-plots with her gang of friends to trap Santa Claus as he makes his Christmas Eve rounds so that she can thank him for help for her overworked single mother.

As Christmas approaches, however, her good-natured scheming threatens to collide with the Grinchā€™s more nefarious one. Will Cindy-Lou achieve her goal of finally meeting Santa Claus? Will the Grinch succeed in silencing the Whosā€™ holiday cheer once and for all?

The Grinch will be released in cinemas on 9th November 2018.
