The Grinch .
The Grinch tried to steal Christmas from the Whos of Whoville in the 1966 cartoon adaptation of Dr. Seuss's story "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." He planned to ruin their holiday by taking away their presents, decorations, and food, but his heart grew three sizes in the end, and he returned everything, embracing the true meaning of Christmas.

Ron Howard's film version of Dr. Seuss' "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" won the 2000 Academy Award for Best Makeup.
The Grinch is based on Ebenezer Scrooge from A Christmas Carol.Dr. Seuss reported that he based the Grinch on himself. He saw his reflection in the mirror one day and was surprised at how grumpy he looked. He was in a bad mood because of the noise on his street. He later used a personalized licence plate that said GRINCH on his car. However, Chuck Jones is said to have influenced how the face of the animated 1966 Grinch looked, and some people think the cartoon face of the Grinch looks like Chuck Jones.
As a writer, Ted Geisel (Dr. Seuss' real name) was responsible for the documentary films "Hitler Lives" (1946) and "Design for Death" (1947), both of which won Academy Awards. He also came up with the cartoon short, "Gerald McBoing Boing," which won an Oscar in 1951.
