HE'S A MEAN ONE!

A male humanoid creature

with bright green fur,

scrawny limbs,

a round midsection,

and a foul grimace!

 Mr. Grinch
You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch!
You really are a heel.

You're as cuddly as a cactus,

You're as charming as an eel.

Mr. Grinch!

You're a bad banana with a...greasy black peel!



We're all familiar with the Grinch, right? 

But who knew in Whoville that 

The Grinch also tried to steal Halloween too!

Dr. Seuss and DePatie-Freleng Enterprises

co-produced this amazing cartoon.

 It won the 1977 Emmy Award

for Outstanding Animated Program.

 

So, the question is...

what's this Grinch Night  Halloween show about? 

It starts out like this...
It's a delightful autumn sunset,

when suddenly the sleepy peace of Whoville

is disturbed by the howling soursweet wind,

signaling the beginning of Grinch Night.

Soon the evil Grinch,with detachable,

flying eyebrows, glowing yellow eyes,

and a penchant for nasty mischief,

sets forth with his

dreaded paraphernalia wagon

 to terroize the villagers all

of whom are paralyzed with fear.

 But one brave little boy, young Eukariah,

sets out to single handedly save his family and town.

Digging deep down inside himself to find

courage he didn't know he had,

the boy proves to be more than a

match for the now not-so-gruesome Grinch,

and his spooks, spirits and spectres.

 Along the way, Eukariah learns

quite a bit about facing unpleasant facts,

confronting your fears,

and taking positive action

 when faced with a threat.

These important lessons are served up

 with rainbow animation,

lively music,

 and insightful lyrics,

 all compliments of the kids' favorite doctor

 -- Dr. Seuss!

 Sounds pretty cool, huh?

I think I'll have to check it out to see if I...

I mean,  my kids would like it to watch it!

Hey, wait a minute!

I'm not too old to watch cartoons!!

Well, maybe the really, really spooky ones!!
