The cartoon, by all means. Chuck Jones took some graphic liberties (such as making Cindy Lou Who even cuter than she was in the book) but thanks to the involvement with Ted Geisel (Dr. Seuss) himself and Boris Karloff's voice talents, it's the classic it was destined to be from its first airing 41 years ago. (In fact, Dr. Seuss wrote this message on a timing sheet: All that I am and all that I hope to be I owe to Chuck Jones.)
