Fact: Boris Karloff, who narrated the story, and voiced the Grinch, dressed as Father Christmas and gave presents to the physically disabled in a hospital in Baltimore. - @Thursday, November 19, 2015 3:06 AM

This one is incredible, such a classic. The remake was terrible, so flawed, so annoying. - @Saturday, October 6, 2012 3:38 PM

Boris Karloff Grinch>Jim Carrey Grinch No offense to Carrey, but I consider this an amazing classic. Such great anaimation and even better for calling the man who gave the ultimate Frankenstein Monster performance ever to voice the Grinch, narrate the story, and sing the song for this movie. - @Wednesday, October 14, 2009 4:20 AM
