When the Grinch is taking all the presents from the homes in Whoville, he takes Martha May's ring off of the nightstand. Later she slides down the sack of the presents stolen by the Grinch and hands the Mayor back his ring.

Noticeably, during the Grinch's flashback when May Who and the rest of the Grinch's classmates, except Martha, burst out laughing at the Grinch's predicament, even Miss Rue Who, the teacher, is giggling along. In real life, if students are acting so mean-spirited to a certain student, the teacher would actually scold them not to do so.

Young Augustus May Who mocks the Grinch, remarking that he's eight years old and has a beard. In reality, men do not grow facial hair until the age of at least thirteen.
Although this is true of humans, The Grinch and The Whos are not human. Human biology is entirely irrelevant to this film.
Also the character is bullying the Grinch. Bullies are mean, and Augustus is purposely being mean to the Grinch by pointing out something unflattering and different about him. It's part of the film's character development.

An overview shot of The Grinch building the sled reveals the camera's shadow.
The Grinch's parents should have taken the Grinch to the hospital after seeing him bite off part of the Santa cookie plate.
Parents can be neglectful or in denial of their children's issues. The Grinch's parents, as depicted in this film, are neglectful. What they "should" have done can be debated, but the plot of this film contains neglectful parents who don't make the best decisions. If they had taken the Grinch to the hospital at that point, it would be a different movie.
