I personally felt this movie was only made to be a cash grab. The story line was rushed and not thought through, and it completely contradicted everything the past two movies had worked towards. The character design was sloppy and the writers relied on you to know who these people were, even though they were practically nothing like the characters in the past movies. By the time the movie was done, I didn't feel like I had gotten anything from that besides more respect for the other two Grinch movies. To put it simply, it didn't have to be made, and it shouldn't have been made.
