I don't know if I've said this on here before but I think it's an okay movie. I don't like it as much as I used to but I'm not a fan of the original book and thus not of the more faithful Chuck Jones adaptation. I find it to be a strawman of atheism and it downplays the greed element in favor of the goodwill message without putting forth a good argument toward the existence of god and in addition throws shade on outsiders. It reminds me of a Soviet Russian cartoon that I unfortunately can't find where the Russians overtake the gods by traveling into space. It's entertaining for those who believe it but not a very good argument, The Grinch because it's a strawman, and the Russian short because the USSR has collapsed.
