There are many times where we’ve seen a movie more than we can count but it’s not often that we learn about how the film was actually made behind the scenes. For many, this rings true for the cult classic Christmas movie “Elf.” The holiday favorite “Elf,” stars Will Ferrell as Buddy, a man who has been raised at the North Pole among Santa’s elves. At the age of 30, he discovers that he is human and embarks on a journey to New York City in search of his real father.
