Today we’re looking at How the Grinch Stole Christmas! a 1966 television special directed and co-produced by Chuck Jones of Looney Toons fame. It is based on the 1957 children's book of the same name by Dr. Seuss, which tells the story of the Grinch trying to take away Christmas from the townsfolk of Whoville below his mountain hideaway. Originally telecast in the United States on December 18, 1966, How the Grinch Stole Christmas went on to become and still is, a perennial holiday special.
