A TikToker has pointed out a continuity error seen in the holiday favorite How the Grinch Stole Christmas starring Jim Carrey.

The TikTok, which was posted on Tuesday and has racked up 3 million views, shows the scene where the Grinch wreaks havoc on Howville when the mistake occurred when Carrie’s eyes turned from brown to amber.

“Every time I watch the Grinch, I notice this little mistake they’ve made, whether it’s forgetting to put in his contacts or editing them later,” said the TikTok user. @redcobweb: “So Jim Carrey’s brown eyes are right there. And in the next scene, they go back to it.”

The revelation shocked many fans of the holiday classic.

“I JUST SCREAMED I’VE NEVER SEEN THIS AHAHAHAH!” one user shouted.

“It works pretty well without contacts lmao,” said another person.

“No wonder she looks so different in that scene, I can never figure out why… now I know,” said a third person.

According to a commentator, one of the reasons for the change may have been due to Carrey, who was so disgusted with the green fur and body paint that he took out his frustration on the make-up department, forcing three-time Oscar nominee Kazuhiro Tsuji to drop out of the film. .

Tsuji joined the production late on the condition that Carey behave himself, and the production promised to help him get his green card.
