He has a lot to prove. As a failed and embarrassed Olympian, he has lost his own confidence. Moreover, he lost his own spirit and ability to believe in himself. He shares sweet chemistry with Penny. The “take a lap” is simply adorable. His inner struggle is providing for Penny and being the hero in her life. He needs to face a stronger moral choice when he’s given the check for winning. At the end, he redeems his failures and does become a hero. Santa is a fun, iconic figure. One loves when he tells the bad guys about their naughty secrets and lies about his weight. He provides nice guidance. Gracie is also very likable. One likes when she tells Rit to employ mind, body, and will. There’s nice chemistry between Rit and Gracie that works well.

He seems to be driven by greed and his backstory, but as mentioned, his backstory is not clear. Simplify it and connect it to the emotional premise. George is a terrific comic relief character that delivers the
Alone with his dog Max on Mount Crumpit, poor Grinch hated the entire idea of all the Christmas bliss. He had a repugnance for all that participated in such holiday because of the countless rejections he received from the Whos as a child. Many Whos including the Mayor of Whoville himself would ridicule him for lack of better appearance making the Grinch feel remorseful and unfit for the Whos’ standards.

No one quite realized the reasonings for the Grinch’s cold-hearted tendencies and rather just came to the conclusion that his heart was just two sizes too small. So the Whos continued on with the life and the holidays without any thought of the grumpy
