Quotes
Narrator:
Inside a snowflake like the one on your sleeve, there happened a story you must see to believe.
Goofs
When the Grinch is rearranging the mail, a package falls on the ground. In the next shot the package is gone.
Crazy Credits
The MPPA rating screen at the end reads "PG-13," but the movie is actually rated "PG."
Alternate Versions
Included on the DVD release of the film are some deleted and extended scenes. One is an extended version of the Grinch wreaking havoc in Whoville by using a marble, which causes a domino effect. Another is a scene where Lou Lou Who is called into a parent-teacher conference because Cindy Lou Who wanted to do a report on the Grinch. A final scene reveals that the tree the Grinch cut out from the floor is the Whoville police officer. The officer comes downstairs sleepwalking and the Grinch locks him in the linen closet.
