33 How the Grinch Stole Christmas Trivia Questions & Answers

Answer: Mount Crumpit

Mount Crumpit is just North of Whoville. The Grinch has lived there since he was only eight years old.

Answer: Jim Carrey

Carrey, born on January 17th, 1962 in Newmarket, Ontario, Canada, was cast as The Grinch when he was older. The Grinch hated Christmas and lived on top of Mount Crumpet in Whoville, isolated from the rest of the townsfolk. The Grinch had a way of getting to Whoville by going through a secret passageway connected to a dumpster in town. Midway through the movie, The Grinch went down to Whoville one day but was embarrassed by the mayor so he went back up to his home on Mount Crumpet. The Grinch came up with a plan to steal Christmas by stealing everyone's presents. In one scene during his plan to steal Christmas, Cindy Lou Who encountered him and asked him why he was taking her Christmas tree. The Grinch lied and stated there was a light on the tree which would not light so he would take it to his workshop, fix it and bring it back. After he took all the Whoville residents' belongings, he was shocked when the townsfolk were still joyful after noticing everything was stolen. The Grinch eventually got over his hatred for Christmas and became a goodhearted person. Carrey starred in the movies "Once Bitten", "Earth Girls Are Easy" and "The Truman Show".

Answer: His school classmates laughed at him when he tried to shave his chin.

He's hated Christmas since he was born. When he was a baby, he ate a Santa plate. It could be because he had a crush at school and made her a homemade angel for her tree. Then he looked into the mirror and remembered a kid saying, "You're eight years old and you have a beard." The kids at his school made fun of and laughed at his "shaved" face, which happened around Christmas time. He got angry and ruined the classroom and threw their Christmas tree across the room.

Answer: Taylor Momsen

Momsen, a native of St. Louis, Missouri, portrayed Cindy Lou Who. Cindy was a young girl who knew about The Grinch's hatred for Christmas and wondered why he hated the holiday. She sought off on a journey to interview people who knew The Grinch over the years to see if she could decipher just why she hated him. When it came time to put on a show called "The Whobilation", the townsfolk had to nominate a beloved someone to head it and Cindy Lou Who said The Grinch should head the celebration. The townsfolk reluctantly agreed after Cindy Lou Who persuaded them, and so she went to Mt. Crumpet to get The Grinch to come down and celebrate with them. Cindy was disappointed when The Grinch went on a rampage after the mayor embarrassed him by reminding him of a traumatic memory from childhood. Near the end of the movie, Cindy Lou Who went up to Mt. Crumpet to see The Grinch and he asked her what she was doing there. She responded that she went to see him since nobody should be alone on Christmas. Momsen was seen in the films "Saving Shiloh", "Paranoid Park" and "Spy School".
