How the Grinch Stole Christmas – Color Publicity Slides - H4-21
A vibrant set of two original 35mm color publicity slides from Ron Howard’s Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000). These original Universal Studios slides were created for use in the film’s promotional campaigns, showcasing vivid behind-the-scenes and production imagery. One slide captures a digital effects view of Whoville created by Digital Domain, while the other features Martha May Whovier (Christine Baranski) in a festive holiday scene, photographed by Ron Batzdorff. Each transparency is mounted in a professional archival slide frame, labeled with the film’s title, copyright date, and photographer credit. Such original studio slides were distributed exclusively to media outlets and promotional partners, making them scarce survivors of pre-digital marketing production. A charming collectible piece of Universal holiday movie history, representing the visual artistry and imagination that brought Whoville and the Grinch’s world to life. A nostalgic glimpse into the making and marketing of one of the most iconic Christmas films of the modern era.
