Epic 4,000-Piece LEGO Grinch in Whoville MOC strikes nostalgia after 25 years - Yanko Design
Briefly

Designer papoy2T created "The Grinch: Whoville" MOC composed of 3,990 pieces that recreates Ron Howard's How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) film aesthetics. The build reproduces Whoville's whimsical, rounded architecture, Seussian asymmetry, and festive holiday decorations across a sprawling lower town and a dramatic Mount Crumpit rising behind it. The lower portion includes pastel-colored buildings, a post office with reception desk and shipping room, and a town hall staged for Whobilation 2000 with the mayor's office, the Book of Who, and a Cheermeister shirt. Cindy Lou's house features an extravagant light display, an interior kitchen with Who pudding, a decorated living room, and her bedroom. Mount Crumpit houses the Grinch and serves as the build's dramatic focal point.
Remember the first time you watched Jim Carrey slither down a chimney in a Santa suit, his face contorted into that iconic yellow-eyed grin? For millennials who grew up with Ron Howard's live-action "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (2000), the film remains a holiday staple that somehow gets better with age. Now, a LEGO fan designer has captured that same magic in brick form with "The Grinch: Whoville" - a spectacular MOC (My Own Creation) that's currently gathering steam on LEGO Ideas.
This isn't just any fan creation. With nearly 4,000 pieces (3,990 to be exact), this build is a comprehensive love letter to the film that transformed Dr. Seuss's simple tale into a visual feast. The designer has recreated Whoville in meticulous detail, from its whimsical, rounded architecture to its festive holiday decorations, all while maintaining that signature Seussian asymmetry that made the movie's production design so memorable.
The lower portion of the build showcases Whoville's most iconic locations. The pastel-colored buildings feature curved walls, rounded windows, and holiday decorations that perfectly capture the film's fantastical aesthetic. There's the post office where Cindy Lou gets accidentally wrapped as a gift (complete with a reception desk, shipping room, and the infamous hole she falls through). Next door sits the town hall, where the Whobilation 2000 celebration takes place, featuring the mayor's office with the Book of Who and the Cheermeister shirt in progress.
