The film is due in theaters November 17, 2017, and will be directed by Pete Candeland. The same animation studio handled the recent Dr. Seuss remake The Lorax.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas has seen itself adapted for an animated TV special and a live-action feature film in 2000, which starred Jim Carrey. This will be the first big screen animated iteration of the classic tale.
