* IntrepidReporter: Despite pretty much everyone telling her to forget about it, Cindy goes on a deep-dive research and a series of interviews to better understand the Grinch and why's like this. Kid should be nominated for a Wholitzer.

* ChekhovsSkill: During the Grinch's rampage during his childhood, he manages to lift a Christmas tree and toss it pretty far (With Martha even commenting on his muscles when recalling the event). The near climax where he lifts an ''entire sleigh full of presents'' makes it clear that his body strength hasn't declined one bit over the years.

The near climax where he lifts an ''entire sleigh full of presents'' makes it clear that his body strength hasn't declined one bit over the years. Likewise, the Grinch's lair is stock-full of gizmos he seems to have built over the years, a engineering skill that comes in handy when he has to build a flying sleigh to carry the stolen gifts.
Added DiffLines:
* GrayingMorality: In the original story and previous adaptations, Whoville was full of kindness and cheer and the Grinch's hatred for Christmas was just irrational anger. This one makes the situation a lot grayer by showing Whoville as beset by rampant commercialism and the Grinch's anger being borne out of a traumatic childhood, making it a "[[GreyAndGrayMorality neither side was wholly bad but both sides needed to learn a lesson]]" sort of situation. Cindy Lou Who is the only character to remain [[IncorruptiblePurePureness morally immaculate]].
