I am the proud owner of Horton Hears a Who and How the Grinch Stole Christmas on DVD. I love them. Be that as it may, I think I remember another Seuss animated special. (I’m pretty sure it was Seuss.) Anyway, it involved a character named Ukariah. Something about getting lost on a mountain, IIRC. Am I smoking crack, or did such a thing exist? ---

Can’t you be doing both? It did exist. I think I have it on tape somewhere. It’s where the wind blows and the howlers start howling and the grumblers start grumbling and the little boy Ukariah goes off from his family to stop the wind. He meets the Grinch and the Grinch shoves him down into his sled where a 30 minute acid trip commences. ---

That 30 minute acid trip sounds like “Halloween is Grinch Night.” ---

The acid trip part was the best. Also, the Grinch looks more evil than he does in “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” ---

There were in fact three Grinch cartoons: _How the Grinch Stole Christmas_, _Halloween is Grinch Night_, and _The Grinch Meets the Cat in the Hat_ (I’m not sure I have the titles exact). Speaking as a cartoon character myself, trust me when I say the latter two are far inferior to the first one. On the other hand, _The Cat in the Hat_ and _The Lorax_ weren’t bad. And if you find a copy, the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes version of _Horton the Elephant_ is very good. ---

The original title of Halloween is Grinch Night was It’s Grinch Night. The Warner Bros. cartoon is Horton Hatches the Egg.
