Continuity mistake: At the end when the sled full of Christmas stuff is on the mountaintop, it starts sliding off the edge. It's going fast enough that it should be long gone by the time the Grinch reaches it, but when he does it's still right near the top of the mountain.

In this cartoon holiday classic, the Grinch is an irascible and belligerent green creature who hates the holidays (and everything else) almost as much as he hates himself. With his downcast dog, he manages to pilfer practically everything in one single night...until he meets adorable 2-year-old Cindy Lou Who. She restores his shrunken heart and together they enjoy a Merry Christmas together with her friends and family! This is nearly a must-see and can cheer even the most heavy of spirits.

Narrator: "Pooh-pooh to the Whos" he was grinchily humming.
The Grinch: They're finding out now that no Christmas is coming. They're just waking up, I know just what they'll do. Their mouths will hang open a minute or two. Then the Whos down in Whoville will all cry "booo-hooo."
Trivia: The Grinch's face is partly based on Chuck Jones' own face. Jones said he tended to sneak his face in without even realizing it. (Source: NPR).
