Elf (2003)

Movie Summary

On Christmas Eve, an orphaned baby crawls into Santa Claus’s sack and is unknowingly taken back to the North Pole. After the infant is discovered at the workshop, the elves name him Buddy after his diaper’s brand label. Buddy grows up to adulthood thinking he is an elf, despite being twice the size of every other elf and inept at toymaking, but one day overhears he is a human. He decides to journey from the North Pole to New York City to meet his biological father, Walter Hobbs, who doesn’t know he exists and is in desperate need of some Christmas spirit.

Elf was originally released in theaters November 7, 2003.
