Fans angry about removal

The movie is an adaptation of the modern classic book 'How Grinch Stole Christmas' written by Dr. Seuss. It is about a vindictive creature named the Grinch who wants to spoil Christmas for everyone by stealing their presents and decorations in the town of Whoville. It stars Jim Carrey, Taylor Momsen in major roles. Another adaptation of the book starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Rashida Jones was released in October last year.

Understandably, the absence of the movie from the digital movie streaming services sparked outrage among the movie lovers with many complaining about it on various social media platforms. The film is nowhere to be found in the Netflix library. Instead shows other movies such as The Christmas Chronicles, A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding, The Boss Baby: Back in Business, and Green Eggs and Ham amongst others.
