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.

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

@labelledamedumanor4876 5 ай бұрын

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!"

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.

A real work of art! This would be great as a full length movie! Might seem overwhelming, but take it one chapter at a time. With such a small team it may take more than a year but it would be as good if not better than what DreamWorks and Pixar can do with hundreds of people. Some of Blender's shorts are already impressive, but this is at another level.
