When Donna tells her that a round trip to the North Pole would take a month, she instead decides to try trapping Santa with the help of her friends. Sadly, both the character and the overall movie as a whole share the same problems; it's boring, uninspired, and vanilla. Peter Candeland and Yarrow Cheney were set to direct, [7] though in 2018 producer Scott Mosier took over from Candeland. Unable to bear these memories, the Grinch soon decides that he will steal Christmas from Whoville to assuage his distress.

It's by Tyler, the Creator, who only a few years ago was considered one of the saltiest (to put it mildly) voices in music.
