When famed animator Chuck Jones was able to convince his old friend Dr. Seuss to let him make an animated version of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, he thought the hardest part of the project was over.

The company that saved the day was The Commercial Banking Foundation. A strange decision for a show that speaks out against materialism.
