It took me months to find this comment again. Thank you for this masterpiece.

after viewing it a few times I keep coming to the same conclusion. his flaws like his anger make him choose grinch because he knows he's not good enough to become a saint but even after becoming a monster he still retains his humanity. when he chooses to dance in spite of how other people see him, he's free. That's why it's so profound when it ends with the tale of the christmas cretin. he's only a cretin because of how he refuses to give in to despair. and when other people look at him with disdain, they become grinches themselves. Amazing what someone can do with a 2 minute animation.

The way he dances for himself without a real audience has always cut deep for me. He’s become something that he believes is monstrous and unacceptable, but he’s still finding the motivation to put himself out there and express himself so confidently, to the point of not even caring if people like it.

In the original animation, the Grinch still utters a lie of mercy to a child and decides to return the Whos' gifts at the climax of the story. He exhibits redeemable qualities. This version embraces his Grinchness fully and that's why the dance is so shocking and cathartic for us to witness.

Here’s my pothead analysis: the man is suffering from seasonal depression and then is visited by an angel who will grant 1 of 2 wishes: appeal to yourself (grunch) or appeal to others (sainte)? There's no wrong choice because ultimately the man is choosing how he will be happy. Will he get happiness from himself or from the people around him? The man chose to be a Grinch because he desires happiness from within. And when he becomes a Grinch he unlocks the shackles within him that locked away his true-self. He put those shackles there in the first place because he was convinced he needed to conceal his personality. But after the transformation he can't help but wonder: "have I truly become a monster?". The new perspective granted to him by his wish allowed him to see that he is in fact not the monster he feared he'd become. He is just himself. So then he goes into public and dances his heart out as a grand gesture of confidence and self-love. Side note: Watch this vid at 0.75x speed it actually sounds awesome

i love these type of videos. it's so far out of left field but you can tell that it's the result of the creator's genuine, unfiltered ideas.

Even though this is a really old video, I’m gonna offer my interpretation too lol. Although the other interpretations in these comments are quite good as well, this is just what I first thought when watching. I think it’s meant to show that there is no such thing as people who are inherently good and inherently evil. Although some people (Santa, in this case) try to portray people’s moral character as a true and rigid dichotomy, the truth is, it’s a lot more of a gray area. People have their highs, people have their lows. People do good, people do evil. People can’t be labeled good and evil because morality doesn’t come from our essence and doesn’t define us, but rather from the individual actions we make. We can see this in our “Grinch” character, who merely has a moment of rage, and wants to choose to be angry for some time, so he becomes a Grinch. However, after he cools off, he reflects “Have I truly become a monster?” because he doesn’t feel angry or evil anymore. In fact, he eventually cheers up enough to go dance and enjoy himself in public. He still appears like the Grinch, however, because people put that label on him when he had only a moment of anger. Even though his feelings and actions changed, the label stuck. But he’s not really a Grinch. That’s what looks so funny to us-a character who’s supposed to be angry all the time is dancing in delight and enjoying himself. It shows that nobody, even the Grinch, is someone who is permanently evil. I can see why the legend of Santa would be fitting to propose that being someone who acts good and bad are mutually exclusive, because he himself separates people on his list between naughty and nice.

This video it's pure nostalgia for me. I trully love it. When TV stops to work because of bad weather, man starts to break it. Santa enters his home and giving him a chose: to be a sainte, or a grunch. Man understand that he isn't saint (because of anger and bad behaviour I think) and choses to be grinch. Claus don't giving presents to him because he's an adult. Santa wants to save him from himself. He has magic powers and can help to understand man who him is at the Xmas eve. He morphs into monster. It is could mean end for him, or for a GRÜNCH. But he hasn't lost his humanity. He grabs stereo and goes to the Park Plaza and starts dancing. He has got rejected by society, but he found real happiness in loneless. He celebrate Christmas alone. The best melancholia, philosophy and nostalgia in two minute animation 10/10. Choose wisely...

Being a Grinch might seem like the “bad” one out of the two choices. We mustn’t forget that afterall, the Grinch’s heart grew three sizes after truly accepting himself. To be a saint is to be a perfect yet artificial being, a pure person, however, becoming one is a completely inhuman task, for nobody is perfect. The Grinch is a truly pure person unlike a saint, for The Grinch has had to deal with inner demons, managing to go past his self-loathing ways and accepting others and most importantly, himself, and in the process, became much more than just a “Grinch”.

When the grunch asks "have I truly become a monster?" It would seem at first that he is starting to realize that he is a monster. However, I would venture to say that he is starting to realize that he is *not* a monster. Clause said to "choose wisely" and the wise choice would seem at first to be sainte, but maybe choosing grunch does NOT make you a monster. Perhaps choosing sainte would have freed the man from his demons, but instead he chooses grunch and channels his frustration and passion into writing and dancing. The question "have I truly become a monster?" Lets us into the mind of a proud grunch; a grunch who questions the validity of his "inherit" bad nature; a grunch who dares to challenge the ultamatim given to him by a strange, detatched, unmerciful, being. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I think that what people are missing here is that this story is about more than choosing the wrong option. I think that Grinch’s immediate transformation and later questioning of his “choice” shows that he never really made a choice at all. He was just an inherently sour person, and society, as represented by Claus, labeled him as such and put the idea in his head that if he’s not an acceptable saint, then he is just a Grinch. A monster. However, Grinch defies this idea soon after the choice is made for him. He asks himself if he is truly a monster, and even goes out and expresses himself in a harmless way in an attempt to show people that while he is no saint, The Grinch is not truly a monster either. The sad part is that despite these efforts to prove his ideas of self-identity, society still labels him as the Christmas Cretin, ending our story on an unfortunate note. Revision: Grinch’s Ultimatum is the prequel to Shrek

i think this is actually the correct interpretation

A friend showed this to me yesterday and to call it life-changing would be a criminal understatement

this piece of art is so advanced that now people can only understand a fraction of whole

The video shows that there are never genuinely two choices. Like with many times in our own lives, the protagonist is presented a false binary, and the claus, a false prophet, suggests to him that he could only be a sainte, or a grunch. Having the role of the grinch forced upon him he does not accept it as it is and instead pursues his own path, one of dance, of entertainment. He is human, and therefore radically free, capable of making any decision at any time. That is the moral I take from this, and it is one that is truly meaningful to me.

There’s also a theme of self loathing in that he breaks his own tv and questions if being grunch is really that bad. He attempts to prove it wrong with a harmless activity by dancing but he only delves further into his self loathing by continuing to let others decide his worth since the townsfolk judge him harshly when he leaves the house and dances. But he’s also taken a step away from the self loathing by embraceing his true self and dancing anyway.

@daugh8587

The choice of being a sainte or a grunch is merely an illusion cast by the fact that people sometimes only see two different sides with no in-between. As if hot and cold exists but warm does not. This is why he asks himself "have I truly become a monster?" when in reality not all of his actions define him as a grunch. The way he thinks and the choices he made make him a mix of both a sainte and a grunch which is unique to him as a result of his actions and experiences. This leaves him in a state of denial, which takes him to the plaza to dance, trying to find where he fits in society. Trying to find others like him that share the same flaws, ideas, or commonalities. Not perfect like a sainte, and not evil like a grunch, he writes his own story through the choices he makes.

Many people have talked about this the same way I'm going to, but I'm still gonna try and describe it. This video is the closest thing to art that I've seen on the internet. It has a deep meaning to it, it has a great build-up right before the dance, and HOLY SHIT THE EMOTIONS THIS GIVES OFF ARE SO HARD TO DESCRIBE. This whole video makes me feel a mix of depression, hopelessness, and just sad emotions like that. The video is very bleak, though it's practically a work of art due to how well it's portrayed. As I mentioned before too, the build-up between the guy turning into the grinch, and between the dance is amazing. This video is so good, and it does such a good job portraying themes and emotions. It also has a fucking great soundtrack!

It’s not the video that’s been since the dawn of time, it’s the question itself. Are we to hide our true nature to become an angle to satisfy those who see us as monsters, or are we to become comfortable with ourselves, and accept our flaws that others may not see as acceptable. The movement of the man shows his comfort in his dance, how he does not desire to be changed. It’s truly, a tantalizing conundrum.

"you either die a sainte, or live long enough to become the grunch" is my senior quote

'Tis December 25th once again, this means we get to subject ourselves to the tale of the Christmas Cretin once more...

Long dumb analysis ahead, you’ve been warned: The man in the video is a character who has had a life with lots of misfortune, people treating him like an outcast, having seasonal depression and having overall bad luck. His tv breaking shows how he feels like some things in his life are out of his control and he can’t change how people think about him. The tv breaking is the last straw and he decides to give himself an ultimatum, try and fix his life for the hundredth time or submit to the hate that he has gotten in his life and become a horrible person, a grinch. He feels he has no choice and he decides to become the grinch, people hate him more and he has even worst luck and seasonal depression. He feels like he made the right choice at first, he feels like nothing has changed, people still view him with disgust, but then he realizes one thing has changed, his chances of ever proving the world wrong are gone. He is stuck with a life of misery because of his choice, but he eventually decides he doesn’t want that. He goes out and expresses himself even though he is shunned and realizes that even though people see him as a grinch, especially after his full submission into grinchness, as long as he loves himself and tries to show he isn’t bad that he can redeem himself, not just for others but to himself. “That’s the story of the Christmas cretin”, this quote shows he may be viewed as a villain but he knows deep inside he is not. Moral of the story is: no matter how poorly people think of you, and how much they weigh you down you can always enjoy yourself, not to prove others wrong but to prove to yourself that you are right Bonus: If I want to get really deep the remote can symbolize change, like changing the channel, but obviously that doesn’t work because the tv is broken, how he feels how he can’t change

The question is rhetorical, as it’s apparent before Claus even comes down the chimney that the man has always been a Grunch, and only upon hallucinating Santa gave him the choice, realizes his transformation. His attempts to go out and convince the community -who is already numb to his presence - that he isn’t a monster, fall flat, and we’re forced to look into ourselves and see if we’ve already made the choice between grunch and sainte ourselves.

I love the fact that this animation is 7 years old, yet sparks such deep philosophical feelings 6 years, 2 years, and even just 8 months ago. I just come back for the music, personally, and I can’t recall just why I have this music (image?) mixed with SM64

You can either be a saint and try to appease everyone, or you can be a grinch and be yourself, ignoring what others around you may think.

I’m in my last month of my arts bachelors and I have to say, these videos are some of the best displays of art I’ve ever seen. I’m not actually trolling. They are sheer proof that the quality of work in an animation can be as rough as possible, but still as a piece be so perfect. Great story telling in such an insanely unique way. Don’t change dude!
