Sure, he’s a slow toy maker but his Etch-A-Sketch talents cannot be beat. Buddy the Elf might just be the most festive and jolly person to exist. He’s got a sugar-coated heart (like, literally) and is determined to meet his biological father, Walter. His overzealous nature and naivete initially throws a wrench into his biological family’s life, but...
The deadpan sweetheart that is Bob Newhart is the perfect fit to play Papa Elf, the reasonable and (very) concerned adoptive father to Buddy and narrator of the film. Papa Elf raised Buddy from the time he was a baby, and he knew almost right away that he was…special. It’s not everyday that a human being is going to school with elves and learning h...
Santa was understandably perplexed when Buddy crawled out of his toy bag. He also had (in addition to cookies) a lot on his plate. The only logical choice was to pass Buddy off to Papa Elf in order to be raised into a proper elf. Santa has seen it all, and when Buddy is an adult, he prepares him with what to expect when he visits the Big Apple. And...

He loves his wife Emily and son Michael, but when it comes to Christmas, he couldn’t care less. Walter’s a regular on the Naughty List (much to Buddy’s horror) and is a tough (chest)nut to crack. Perhaps he needs Buddy just as much as Bu...
Who’s Jovie you might ask? Just the brightest star Buddy’s ever seen. Jovie is an unimpressed and unenthusiastic Gimbels employee who would rather be doing anything other than putting together the store’s Christmas tree. While decorating, she sarcastically asksa wide-eyed and mouth-agape Buddy, “Are you enjoying the view?” Turns out, Buddy was quit...
Emily is Walter’s sweet wife and Buddy’s welcoming and open-minded step-mother. She might not understand Buddy’s sugary eating habitsand over-the-top Christmas decorating but she embraces him and his personality nonetheless. Mary Steenbrugen won an Oscar for her performance in the 1980 film Melvin and Howard. She re-teamed with Ferrell for the hit ...
Walter and Emily’s younger son Michael is initially mortified by his goofy half-brother Buddy. After all, it’s not exactly every day that a grown man shows up in an elf costume and claims to have the same Dad as you. But Buddy’s zest for life and love of all things Christmas is a refreshing change of pace for Michael, who’s used to his father’s lac...
When it comes to children’s books, no one beats Miles Finch, a best-selling author who is looking to work with Walter’s publishing company. When Buddy unknowingly bursts intoa very important meeting with the prospective client, things quickly go downhill at a shocking speed. Not only is Miles irritated that Buddy interrupted the meeting, but he’s a...
Actress Amy Sedaris plays Walter’s trusty and perky secretary Deb, who, upon meeting Buddy in his elf costume, believes he is a (very) in-character actor that was ordered to the office as a Christmas-gram for Walter. Little does she know, however, that Buddy isn’t acting and he really wants to meet and spend time with his father at work. Deb has a ...
