One of my favorite holiday shows is How The Grinch Stole Christmas. The original animated special (1966) eventually spawned a movie or two and another version. Frankly, as good as some of the newer works are, I prefer the original.
I am a life long fan of Chuck Jones, who created the special. Grinch enabled him to use his trademark style in addition to his humor and whimsy.
Boris Karloff’s participation in the project was the perfect addition. His voice and cadence were perfect to relate the tale.
Karloff’s daughter related her father’s pride and pleasure in the project in THIS article.
Enjoy!
