What happens when WesternAnimation/TheCatInTheHat meets the title character of ''WesternAnimation/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas''? The answer appears in this animated television special, produced by Marvel Productions in 1982. Originally titled '''''The Cat in the Hat Gets Grinched''''', it was the last new television special based on the works of DrSeuss until the animated adaptation of ''The Butter Battle Book'' seven years later.

* AnimationBump: The animation isn't quite up to where it was in ''How The Grinch Stole Christmas'', but it's significantly better than the very cheap-looking animation that made up most of ''Grinch Night'', and about on par with the first ''Cat in the Hat'' animated special.

* [[spoiler: ManlyTears: The Grinch as a result of the Cat's moving number.]]

** Similar to how ChuckJones added his own recognizable charm to the first special, Creator/FrizFreleng's influence is very obvious in some parts of the animation.

Things start out on a typical day in the lives of the two title characters. The Grinch, under orders from his own reflection in the mirror, is out making people's lives miserable when he suddenly crosses paths with the Cat in the Hat, who is out trying to have a picnic. The Cat unwittingly incurs the wrath of the Grinch, who then proceeds to make the Cat's day miserable by building devices with which to warp the sounds of the Cat's (and other animals') voice(s) and darken the Cat's surroundings. The Cat grows upset with the Grinch's hijinks and tries to figure out how to put a stop to it all.

* CoolCar: The Grinch's car. The Cat in the Hat's too.

* {{Crossover}}: Of two of Dr. Seuss' works.

* [[spoiler: EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas]]: How the Cat ultimately foils the Grinch.
