Released in 2003, Elf tells the story of Buddy, a human who accidentally crawls into Santa’s toy sack as a baby and is raised at the North Pole by elves. As he grows up, Buddy realizes he is much bigger and different from the other elves. Santa reveals the truth about Buddy’s real father, Walter Hobbs, who lives in New York and is on the “naughty list.” Determined to find his family and spread Christmas cheer, Buddy travels to New York City. His cheerful personality and elf traditions clash hilariously with the busy city lifestyle. Through love, laughter, and holiday spirit, Buddy helps his father rediscover the true meaning of Christmas and brings joy to everyone around him.
