The book and TV special:
- "Santy Claus, why? Why are you taking our Christmas tree? Why?"
- Max, in the TV special, gets put through the wringer pulling that sleigh. It's especially sad considering he originally thought he was going to be riding it, and quickly had his puppy-like excitement dashed.
- Though he doesn't have a Freudian Excuse like in the movie, the Grinch still lives alone, aside from his dog, and even the narrator quickly dismisses him, encouraging you not to think too much about why the Grinch might be in a foul mood all the time. Even if he doesn't have the backstory shown in the movie, the poor old guy still comes off as being bitter because he feels left out.
