The Grinch

The Grinch is a fictional character created by Dr. Seuss. He is best known as the main character of the children’s book How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1957).

In 1966, the story was adapted into an animated television featurette of the same name, which was directed by Chuck Jones and included the song “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch”. Boris Karloff serves as both the story’s narrator and the voice of the Grinch, but the song was sung by Thurl Ravenscroft, as Karloff could not sing.
