<P> All the Whos down in Whoville enjoy celebrating Christmas with much happiness and joy , except the Grinch ( Jim Carrey ) , who hatefully resents Christmas and the Whos with great wrath and occasionally pulls dangerous and harmful practical jokes on them with a vengeance . As a result , no one likes or cares for the Grinch . Meanwhile , six - year - old Cindy Lou ( Taylor Momsen ) believes everyone is missing the point about Christmas by being more concerned about the gifts and festivities . After her two brothers are harassed by the Grinch when they trespass on his domain , and she herself has a face - to - face encounter with the Grinch at the post office , in which he saves her life , Cindy Lou becomes interested in his history . She then asks everyone what they know about him , and soon discovers that he has a tragic past . </P>
