Not Easy Being Green
The Grinch is the work of children’s author Dr. Suess. In the book, he was originally drawn to be black and white, but it was director Chuck Jones who thought a bright green Christmas-hating monster might look better in 1966 animated film. Now, he’s always drawn in signature Grinch green!
