Elf
2003
A young boy (Will Ferrell) falls into one of Santa's gift sacks on Christmas Eve and is inadvertently transported back to the North Pole, where he's raised as a toy-making elf by Santa's helpers. A misfit who never quite fits in, the outsized elf gets a hankering one day to travel to Manhattan and find his real parents. Co-stars Ed Asner, Mary Steenburgen, James Caan and Bob Newhart. Directed by John Favreau.
