How the Grinch Stole Christmas – “Whoville” Jury Duty Notice - H4-60

A delightfully whimsical piece of Whoville correspondence, this original “Jury Duty Notice” envelope was custom-made for use in Ron Howard’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), starring Jim Carrey as the Grinch. Printed on light green cardstock, the envelope features the address to “Ann Unbiased Who, 845 Whoville Place, Whoville, WV 09087” and is boldly stamped “JURY DUTY NOTICE” across the front—an amusing nod to the film’s playful humor. The piece also includes the fanciful “Whoville Postal Service” stamp and postmark, complete with a Christmas tree postage illustration reading “Merry Merry.” Measuring 6.5" x 4.75" and printed on both sides, this envelope was used as set dressing during the vibrant mailroom scenes that capture the bustling holiday chaos of Whoville. Each prop was meticulously designed to reflect the Seussian style, contributing to the film’s rich, award-winning world-building. An instantly recognizable and display-ready collectible that perfectly embodies the offbeat charm and humor of How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
