Turns out, the city of Louisville is scrapping plans to use the iconic Dr. Seuss village and characters as part of its annual Christmas display after receiving a cease and desist letter from Dr. Seuss Enterprises. The city of Louisville had planned to use "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" as part of its theme for the annual Light Up Louisville holiday celebration, but of course, the "Who-ville" name and image, as well as the Grinch, are all copyrighted and cannot be used without permission.
The whole situation is very ironic, considering in Dr. Seuss' book, How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
Looks like no "Who-ville" in Louisville!
Read the news release from the Associated Press.
Have you visited the Seussville website lately? What a fun place! You can really get caught up playing The Grinch Grow Your Heart Game! Have fun!
