How the Grinch Stole Christmas – Whoville Door Knob and Plate - H4-284

This whimsical door knob and plate assembly was custom-made by the production for use as set dressing in Whoville during the making of Ron Howard’s beloved holiday classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Universal, 2000), starring Jim Carrey as the Grinch. Constructed of metal and resin, the piece measures approximately 6.25” x 3” x 2” and features the film’s signature Seussian aesthetic with exaggerated, curving contours and a charmingly off-kilter keyhole design. The aged metallic finish gives it a well-loved, storybook feel, perfectly in line with the handcrafted look of Whoville’s quirky architecture. This decorative prop exemplifies the extraordinary attention to detail that went into creating the fantastical world of Whoville, where even the doorknobs feel alive with holiday magic. A delightful piece of Seussian design, this Whoville door knob is a tangible artifact from one of the most visually inventive Christmas films ever produced.
