When an orphaned child stows away in Santa Claus' bag while he's delivering toys to an orphanage, an elf decides to keep the baby and raise him as his own. The boy, Buddy, grows to his full, human size and discovers he is not a Christmas elf like everyone else in the North Pole.

This coming of age tale is not only endearing, its comedic timing and writing make this a new classic. Buddy is played by the ever-hilarious Will Ferrell.
