A team up of the Grinch, Ebenezer Scrooge, Krampus, and Oliver Cromwell would make for a good movie.

Oliver Cromwell would be the villain of the movie. The other 3 would be the anti - hero equivalents of Rise of the Guardians. KRAMPUS = The Muscle. SCROOGE = The Brains. GRINCH = The Snitch. How would they feel if they knew Cromwell was gonna cancel Christmas? Well.... GRINCH: "HEY GUYS! GUYS! LOOK AT THIS!" Grinch hands Scrooge the morning paper. SCROOGE: "UGH! Can't you train that blasted dog to NOT DROOL ON THE PAPER?" His eyes widen when he reads the headline: TERRORIST GANG THREATEN CHRISTMAS! Krampus comes out of the kitchen when he hears the commotion. KRAMPUS: "WHAT'S THE FUSS ALL ABOUT? I'm trying to get the dinner on!" Scrooge hands him the paper & when he reads it his temper goes right off the chart & says: "Well my friend, this is 1 idiot who will get boiled in the pudding i'm about to cook. But it will take the whole Holly bush to pierce HIS FILTHY HEART!"

Versus The Expendables.
A child that is not embraced by the holiday spirit will burn it down to feel its warmth.
Kid got a teddy bear instead of a lion plushie.😢
Really nice, I love how 2:54 the cute eyes just changed to scary eyes. the eyes are really the windows to the soul
A better Grinch reimagining than “The mean one”.

What the fuck is that comparison? The Mean One is supposed to be cheap, dumb and mindless gory fun. Why compare it to this?
I like this story, the old Grinch hated Christmas because he didn't understand it and found it annoying. This one actually has a good reason. Even if it's almost been a year, I still hope this gets some sequel with a happy ending.
The Grinch’s back story. Love it! ❤🎄
We need part 2 of this 🥺🥺🥺

An animated live action Grinch movie needs to happen and it has to be GOOD!
Outstanding back story for the grinch
A great, original idea for a short film, and executed flawlessly. Bravo.
Baby Grinch is just too pure for this world.
What a great idea for a Christmas story! Not sure the Grinch could be used with the whole copyright thing but it would be cool.

Ho ho ho, that's just Chucky in disguise.
The “gift modified” option on the teleprompters was a funny yet sweet touch The visual effects in this film were sooo good! The little Grinch creature was so cute! The backstory was very heartbreaking. How does the story end? This deserves recognition and a sequel
The Grinch remake we deserved
Open end, so curious for part two. Very impressive, this was done in 1 month! Stunning mix with live action and 3d

the most interesting Christmas movie I have seen this year. You could do a full length film with it.
I need a whole movie right now!!!!!
I love how the story was, even though it was short and simple. it`s also a nice take on the Grinch.
Omg i just saw this and i know it takes a long time so please! Keep making more! You have a gift for vfx
This should be a full movie!
The grinch really stole Christmas this time..
Oh my goodness, this is seriously incredible! No doubt about it, this is the most fantastic short feature I've ever laid eyes on. The story and characters are like, seriously my absolute favorite things ever! I can't help but have this huge, ear-to-ear grin plastered on my face. I seriously, seriously hope this becomes a full series or even a full-length film because it's such a refreshing and totally original concept. I just absolutely adore it, I really do! Hats off to everyone involved, seriously, you guys are amazing! By the way, Grinch is like, my all-time favorite character and Christmas tale.

It's a female lion, which is unusual considering most toy makers produce lion dolls with manes since they are more visually attractive and recognizable.

So much respect man. Looks awesome!
The way the grinch made that 🥺 face is just so cute
You know, this is the first time I'm seeing this film. And how the chrismas work shop makes the gift feel so accurate and real. Just think of it. Even how santa feels accurate and real. Also, the grinch back story feels like it's the most true back story ever.
Awesome. Merry Christmas.
This feels like a tease, I NEED more!

Anyone catch the error in the very beginning of the video The little boy(Julian) list said he wanted a real lion and a ticket to the zoo. Instead Julians gift he request was modified to a toy lion instead he got a teddy bear and ticket. Anyways great short video ❤
This is so good! When it ended, I was like "That's it???" Make a part 2 to this and finish the story!! This isn't complete and I would love to watch the whole story! I want to see what happens next!
This needs to be a full movie and in the theaters
Happy anniversary to this upload, and I came to see it for the first time on such a day!
That's amazing!!!!
LOVE IT!!! I need more!!! Great job friend!!!

The message is you need to earn the gift with niceness or in other words you need to earn love? How about we give all kids a break and shower them with love instead? Yes there are some who are just born that way but 99.99% of “naughty” kids just want a stable environment with consistent love and attention no matter how badly they mess up.
Omg! The little grinch is precious regardless how naughty or nice he is. But this short was amazing. I need to see what happens!
Such a nice short film, I really love it!

Whoever made it, bro they’re good at making animation swipe look at the Grinch. He literally looks real like all the shadows and all the all the light even the fire bro it’s so sick it gotta be in the movie right now I literally got to see the chase.
I like how you make the Grinch look like movie sonic. I love it. 😊😊
Love it. I love the Grinch and I'm glad he got revenge on Santa. No fence. And I do love the Santa, dude But honestly, the grinched my favorite character.
Santa's greatest foe The Grinch!
