Film Synopsis:
“Every Who down in Who-ville likes Christmas a lot, but the Grinch who lived just north of Who-ville did NOT! So, the cuddly as a cactus Grinch (with termites in his smile and garlic in his soul) tries to wipe out Christmas for the cheerful Who-villains, only to discover - maybe Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas perhaps means a little bit more. Magnificently narrated by Boris Karloff and animated by cartoon legend Chuck Jones, it's an award-winning Who-roast-beast-feast of a holiday classic!”
