The story of ELF
What appears to be an ordinary day at the North Pole is turned upside down when Santa’s elves stumble upon a magical Christmas gift - a wide-eyed orphaned baby who has crawled into Santa’s rucksack. The young boy is welcomed with open arms and raised as Buddy the Elf. However, as his human nature becomes more apparent with age, and his toy-making skills never truly develop, Buddy is convinced that he will never belong at the North Pole. With Santa’s permission, Buddy sets his sights towards the dazzling lights of New York City, in the hopes of finding his biological family.
