Changes: How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Found Foundation For Full-Service Banks Sponsor Ad)

Revision as of 07:16, 24 May 2020

Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Chuck Jones for MGM originally aired with plugs for The Foundation for Full-Service Banks (A Full Service Bank) before the opening and closing credits. The plugs were cut out in subsequent airings at the sponsor's request due to the special's message contradicting their services. The accompanying music for the plugs is intact on the soundtrack of the special.

Opening Sponsor Plug

Closing Sponsor Plug

The closing plug occurred between the ending of the special and the end credits. It was accompanied by this narration: "From the Grinch, and from Max, and from Cindy-Lou Who, and the thousands of banks, give or take one or two, that care for your savings and checking accounts and provide loans you need in all kinds of amounts. From the full-service banks that serve you all year, may this special season be full of good cheer. May your Christmas Day be so very, very, wonderfully, happily, joyously merry. The Foundation for Full-Service Banks representing America's 14,000 national banks, state banks, and trust companies has presented "Dr. Seuss How the Grinch Stole Christmas!"."
