Festive animation 'The Grinch' leads this week's new releases

Dr. Seuss' classic story returns to the big screen in its latest version, this time in animated form. The Grinch - the grumpiest creature in Whoville, an otherwise joyful community - hates Christmas time most of all, as it reminds him of the lonely days he spent as a child, enviously watching others celebrating while he was left alone. Having had enough of the happiness all around him, The Grinch decides to steal Christmas with the help of his loyal dog, Max. Meanwhile, Cindy Lou - one of the village's younger residents - decides to track down Santa for a selfless wish of her own.
