Trivia:
Dr. Seuss was initially uninterested in animating this or any of his books, but Chuck Jones managed to persuade him. moreGoofs:
Continuity: After the Grinch's eyes turn blue, throughout the entire scene on Mt. Crumpet, his eyes continually change from blue to red and back again. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Narrator: Every Who down in Whoville liked Christmas a lot, but the Grinch, who lived just north of Whoville - did not. The Grinch hated Christmas - the whole Christmas season. Now, please don't ask why; no one quite knows the reason. It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight. Or it could be that his head wasn't screwed on just right. But I think that the most likely reason of all may have been that his heart was two sizes too small.

This is the classic. The Best. When it comes to christmas cartoons, this is one of only 2 cartoons that really captures the Christmas Spirit outside of the religious and social aspects of the holiday. And what is not to love with Boris Karloff narrating, Chuck Jones animating, and a story by the loveable Dr Seuss himself!
