He and Suess knew each other due to working together during WWII on the animated propaganda called Private Snafu. Jones was the one to convince Suess into making an animated short for his How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Suess was a writer and Jones an animator. *During production however, Phil Roman (one of the animators) said that Suess was only there 3 or 4 times but that he had been there for the storyboard beforehand. In the original book, there are only three colors: black, white, and pink/red.So, where did the iconic green Grinch color come from? Apparently Chuck Jones was inspired to use it after renting cars that were that color. Suess felt like the main character more closely resembled a Chuck Jones character than the original Grinch drawings.
Time magazine in 2013 named it one of the top 10 greatest Christmas specials from your childhood, along with a movie we just discussed last episode called A Charlie Brown Christmas from 1965. #How to pause in doodlebob and the magic pencil movie# While both of these masterpieces took a lot of money to make, Charlie Brown pales in comparison. It took a little less than $100,000 to create Charlie Brown but Grinch was finally able to garner $300,000 from an organization called The Foundation for Commercial Banks after pitching to companies such as Kellogg’s and Nestle. Not only did Grinch receive funding to make the 30 minute special happen, but CBS paid $315,000 for the right to air it twice on their network once in 1966 and once in 1967. The music for the special was done by Albert Hague. #How to pause in doodlebob and the magic pencil tv#.
