The Movie: How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966)
What Is It?: A
tremendous collection of talent— animator Chuck Jones, voice artists Boris
Karloff and June Foray, singer and cereal tiger Thurl Ravenscroft—came together
to make the best Christmas story of the twentieth century by the best
children’s writer of the twentieth century breathe with color, music, and
noise, noise, noise, noise.
Why Today?: This
is the day the Grinch stole.
