 IMDb page about How the Grinch Stole Christmas


Studio(s): Universal Studios Hollywood


  • Universal Studios Hollywood: Stage 12 [Whoville], Stage 27 [Mt.Crumpit set], Stage 28 [cave set], Stage 29, Stage 31 and 6 other stages.

  • Some of the sets used in the movie are still on display on the Studio Tour. The sets shown were originally set up on the backlot, in the area now occupied by the plane crash set from War of the Worlds. The three Whoville buildings were part of the "Santa Drop" sequence. The rest of the sets were constructed entirely on soundstages (e.g. Stage 12 contained the town set). The production used 10 soundstages in total and remains one of the most space-intensive productions ever shot at Universal.
