Jim Carrey's Grinch suit is covered in yak hair, which was dyed green and sewn onto a spandex suit.
The scene where the Grinch is directing his dog, Max (Kelley), before stealing Christmas, is Jim Carrey making fun of producer and director Ron Howard, imitating his style of directing. Howard found the scene hilarious and decided to include it in this movie.
Jim Carrey's accent in The Grinch is based off Sean Connery.
In the original adaptation of the Grinch, his main dislike of Christmas is due to the loud noise and extreme gluttony. However, for this movie, an extensive backstory was created to explain why he hates Christmas.
Eddie Murphy, Tom Hanks, Jack Nicholson, and Tim Curry were considered to play The Grinch.
Due to the time-consuming nature of applying Jim Carrey's Grinch make-up, he arranged to have packages delivered to his dressing room instead of his actual house.
