“Unwrap the Secrets: Astonishing Behind-the-Scenes Elf Facts That Will Ignite Your Christmas Spirit!”
Does The Snowman Look Familiar?
If you think the snowman who gives Buddy advice at the beginning of the film looks familiar, that’s because it’s the exact same snowman that appears in Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer. Favreau got permission to use the snowman in the film and made a touching tribute to the character.
In Elf, the snowman finally receives a name. They chose the name after Leon Redbone, the actor who voices the character. Oh, and Leon is Noel spelled backward. How’s that for Christmas cheer?
Will Ferrell Wasn’t Actually Eating Cotton Balls
In the scene at the doctor office, Buddy shows off his incredible elf digestive system by eating all the cotton balls in the office (and annoying Walter in the process). Those weren’t actually cotton balls, they were cotton candy balls.
It sounds like a fun scene to film until you remember that Ferrell got sick from all the sugar he ate in the film. Now, the only question left is which elf food group does cotton candy fall into?
There Aren’t That Many Buttons In The Empire State Building Elevators
That scene where Buddy presses every single elevator button in the Empire State Building to make it look like a Christmas tree is totally fake. In the actual elevators at the Empire State Building, there aren’t nearly as many buttons.
The elevator they used was just a set piece that Favreau built to have enough buttons that it looked prettier than the basic three-rows of buttons you might usually see.
