An animated special based upon [[How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Literaturenovel)|the book of the same name]]. It was animated by [[Chuck Jones]], with [[Boris Karloff]] providing the voice of both the eponymous grinch and the narrator. The special follows the plot of the original book closely. It was originally broadcast on CBS in December 18, 1966, and since then has been regarded as one of the classic TV Christmas specials.
 
Followed by ''[[Halloween Is Grinch Night (Animation)|Halloween Is Grinch Night]]''.

=== Includes examples of: ===
Line 27:
* [[Edited for Syndication]]: For many years US network broadcasts deleted one of the "You're a Mean One" verses ("You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch...") as well as a genuinely disturbing moment in which the Grinch does his [[Slasher Smile]] while leering at a young Who in her bed (he's just grinning in anticipation of stealing the candy cane she's holding, but modern viewers see [[Unfortunate Implications]]).
* [[Excited Show Title]]: Like the book, the title is ''How the Grinch Stole Christmas!'', with the exclamation point.
* [[Good Eyes, Evil Eyes]]: Although the Grinch was depicted with the evil eyes a few more times after his [[Heel Face Turn]]. [[Depending Onon the Artist|Colorists can be blamed for that mistake]].
* [[Grim Up North]]: The Grinch lives "just north of Whoville", and his lair is pretty icy (although that may just be because it's winter.)
* [[The Grinch]]: Guess who.
