Film notes
An animated short film and a parody of the "Grinch" story with nuts and bolts for characters.
While seeking the perfect voice for this parody I needed someone with as distinct a voice as Boris Karloff who narrated the original "Grinch" film. My choice was Jonathan Harris (Lost In Space). Sadly Harris passed away not long after his part was recorded. As it would become his last film I decided to make the film a tribute to him and was able to add his former co-stars from Lost in Space (Marta Kristen, Angela Cartwright and Bill Mumy) as the additional voices for the film. The film also features the voice of Tress MacNeille (The Simpsons).
