'Elf' Fun Facts
Here's a fun fact that might surprise even die-hard fans: Director Jon Favreau (yes, the mastermind behind The Mandalorian) not only plays the doctor in the film but also voiced several stop-motion characters, including the memorable narwhal who bids Buddy farewell with the classic line, "Bye, Buddy. Hope you find your dad!"
Composer John Debney, who created Elf's heartwarming score in 2003, is no stranger to holiday classics. He also composed the spooktacular music for another seasonal favorite, 1993's 'Hocus Pocus'.
