"Elf: 20 Years of Saving Christmas with Hilarity and Holiday Magic"

As the holiday genre struggled in the 90s with star-driven comedies, Elf, directed by Jon Favreau and starring Will Ferrell, became a refreshing change in 2003. The film, which follows the journey of a man-child dressed as an elf spreading Christmas cheer in New York City, tapped into the child's point of view and embraced the true meaning of the holiday. With its use of traditional techniques and focus on an up-and-coming star, Elf remains the most enduring and best Christmas film of its era, standing out amidst the lackluster post-Elf holiday movies.

Unveiling the Untold 'Elf': A 20th Anniversary Celebration

On the 20th anniversary of the Christmas classic film "Elf," producer Todd Komarnicki revealed that they turned down a director's proposal to make an "edgy" version of the movie, which included giving Buddy's love interest an abusive boyfriend. The film's success was credited to the casting of Will Ferrell as Buddy, and Zooey Deschanel as Jovie, who was initially considered the fifth choice for the role. The controversy surrounding the song "Baby, It's Cold Outside" was addressed by having Deschanel sing the "predator part" to make it more modern. Peter Billingsley, known for his role in "A Christmas Story," made a cameo appearance in the film. The iconic Buddy costume was sold at an auction for nearly $300,000. Despite a lucrative offer, Ferrell turned down a sequel to "Elf" due to his unwillingness to promote a movie he didn't believe in.
