Hey Mark,

Hope you're doing well. I just wanted to tell you about this new cartoon I watched last night called 'The
Grinch'. It's actually based on a Dr Seuss book, but I think the movie is better.

So, the story is about this green creature who lives in a cave and hates Christmas. The Grinch is really mean to
everyone in the town and tries to ruin their Christmas every year. He even steals all their presents one time!
But then, he meets this little girl named Cindy Lou Who, and she tries to be his friend. She's so sweet and
innocent, and it starts to change the way the Grinch thinks about Christmas.

The animation is amazing - it's so colorful and detailed. The town looks like a winter wonderland, and they
show all these fun things people do during the holidays, like decorating their houses and ice skating. There's
also a lot of slapstick humor, which I love. The Grinch is always getting into these funny accidents, like when
he falls off a roof or gets stuck in a chimney.

Benedict Cumberbatch does the voice for the Grinch, and he's perfect. He sounds really grumpy and sarcastic,
but you can tell there's a softer side to him too. The other actors are great too, especially the woman who plays
Cindy Lou Who. She's only eight years old, but she has so much personality and charm.

I think the best part of the movie is the message. It's all about the power of kindness and how even the
grumpiest person can change if you show them love. It's such a heartwarming story, and it made me feel really
good after watching it. I definitely recommend checking it out, especially if you're a fan of Dr Seuss or
Christmas movies.

Anyway, that's all from me. Let me know if you end up watching it!

Take care,
Sophie

 You're a mean one
You really are a heel
You're as cuddly as a cactus
You're as charming as an eel
Mr. Grinch, you're a bad banana
(Mr. Grinch), with the greasy black peel
You're a vile one
You got termites in your smile
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a seasick crocodile (Mr. Grinch)
You’re a foul one
Friends you don’t have none
I wouldn't touch you with a 39-and-a-half foot pole!
You're a monster
Your heart's an empty hole
You got garlic (You got garlic) in your soul
You got garlic in your soul

[Verse 2: Tyler, The Creator & Choir]

All them smiles homie
I turn 'em to frowns
All them decorations
I tear 'em down
You can ask Max, I don't play around
Ayo (Ew...)
Who is this mean fellow
With his skin all green and his teeth all yellow? (Ew...)
What you so mad for?
Halloween come around and we ain't knockin' at your door, mane

Mr. Grinch, you're a bad banana

You're gonna spoil everybody with your bad attitude
