THE GEEK BOX
TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• This film is based on the children's story of the same name by Dr. Suess, which was previously adapted in 1966 as a made-for-TV animated Christmas special. However Theodore Geisel (Dr. Suess's real name) turned down multiple requests over the years to make a live-action version of the story. After his death his wife who owned the rights authorized a stage production of the book, and after seeing that agreed to sign off on doing the movie.
• Anthony Hopkins recorded his narration of the film in just one day.
• The town of Whoville was built on Universal Studios back lot and was more than 30,000 square feet in total.
• Jim Carrey's makeup took more than three hours to apply each day, and was so uncomfortable that he had to be coached by Navy Seals on how to train your mind to resist torture just to be able to concentrate enough to do his lines.
• This was the largest makeup project mounted since The Wizard Of Oz which came out in 1939.
• During the scene where The Grinch is "directing" his dog, he is doing an impression of Ron Howard, the director of this film.
