00:00:27 Oh, hello.
00:00:28 You're, uh, you're probably here
00:00:30 About the, Uh, the story.
00:00:32 Elves love to tell stories.
00:00:34 I- I'll bet you didn't know that
00:00:37 There's, uh, probably a lot of things
00:00:39 You... you didn't know about elves.
00:00:41 Another... another interesting
00:00:46 Uh, there are only three jobs available
00:00:51 The first is making shoes at night
00:00:53 While, you know, while the old...
00:00:55 The old cobbler sleeps.
00:00:56 Lazy bum. Couldn't even make a clog.
00:00:59 You can bake cookies
00:01:01 In a tree. Hey!
00:01:02 As you can imagine, it's, uh, dangerous
00:01:05 In an oak tree during the dry season.
00:01:08 I wanna make shoes!
00:01:09 But the third job... uh, some call
00:01:12 "The show," or... or "the big dance,"
00:01:14 It's the professión that every elf
00:01:18 And that is to build toys in
00:01:22 Only two weeks left till Christmas!
00:01:25 I- It's a job only an elf can do.
00:01:28 Our... our nimble fingers,
00:01:29 Natural cheer and active minds
00:01:31 Are perfect for toy-building.
00:01:33 They... they tried using gnomes
00:01:36 But the gnomes drank too much...
00:01:40 ...and the trolls weren't toilet
00:01:44 No human being has ever set... set
00:01:49 Uh, that is until about 30 years ago,
00:01:52 And, as you may have guessed,
00:01:55 That's where our story begins.
00:02:30 Wow!
00:02:34 Whoa!
00:03:12 Ooh!
00:03:13 Wow!
00:03:15 Wow!
00:03:24 Ow! Ow!
00:03:42 Whoa!
00:03:46 Are you sleepy?
00:03:49 Here we are.
00:03:50 We're just going to make you feel
00:03:55 Here we are.
00:03:57 There you are.
00:03:59 It's time to go to sleep.
00:04:02 Maybe by next Christmas you'll
00:04:12 Merry Christmas, my ángel.
00:04:42 Mmm...
00:05:24 All right, all right.
00:05:27 We've had another very successful
00:05:32 So, after all that hard work,
00:05:34 It's time to start preparations
00:05:37 For next Christmas!
00:05:48 What in the name of Sam hill
00:05:54 Wow...
00:05:59 A baby...
00:06:04 "little buddy diapers."
00:06:06 His name is buddy. He must've...
00:06:08 Snuck into your sack at the
00:06:11 What do we do?
00:06:11 So, Santa had a
00:06:14 And fortunately, when it
00:06:16 Santa's a... a pushover.
00:06:18 So, buddy stayed with, uh
00:06:20 Who had always wanted a child?
00:06:21 But had been so committed to
00:06:23 He, well, had forgotten to
00:06:28 Santa.
00:06:29 Yes, yes, I... I raised buddy.
00:06:32 I was his adopted father.
00:06:34 Though buddy grew twice as fast,
00:06:36 He... he wasn't any different from
00:06:40 Chuckles not too fast, buddy.
00:06:43 I mean, not... not really.
00:06:46 Before we learn how to build
00:06:48 In extreme graphic chipset
00:06:50 Let's recite the
00:06:52 Shall we?
00:06:53 Number one.
00:06:54 "Treat every day like Christmas."
00:06:57 Number two.
00:06:58 "There's room for everyone on the
00:07:02 Number three.
00:07:03 "The best way to spread Christmas
00:07:06 Is singing loud for all to hear."
00:07:10 And one day, when buddy was
00:07:13 I made him my own personal
00:07:15 I've never been in this room
00:07:17 Well, I think it's time you start
00:07:19 Your tinker training.
00:07:22 Santa's sleigh.
00:07:25 You're gonna help me make it fly.
00:07:30 I thought the magical reindeer made
00:07:32 And where do the reindeer get
00:07:35 Christmas spirit. Everybody
00:07:39 Well, silly as it sounds,
00:07:41 A lot of people down south
00:07:43 Don't believe in Santa Claus.
00:07:45 What?!
00:07:47 Well, who do they think puts all?
00:07:50 Well, there's a rumor floating around
00:07:52 That, uh, that the parents do it.
00:07:54 That's... that's ridiculous.
00:07:56 I mean, parents couldn't do that
00:07:59 What about Santa's cookies?
00:08:00 I suppose parents eat them, too?
00:08:03 Yeah, I, uh, I... I know,
00:08:04 Uh, and every earless and less
00:08:06 Believe in Santa Claus.
00:08:07 I mean, we have a real energy
00:08:10 Oh.
00:08:11 I mean, just see how low the, uh
00:08:15 That's shocking.
00:08:17 That's why I came up
00:08:18 With this little beauty in the '60s.
00:08:25 WH-what is it?
00:08:27 It's a cringle 3000...
00:08:28 A 500-reindeer power jet turbine
00:08:32 Without it, the sleigh couldn't
00:08:33 Get more than, uh, a few feet off
00:08:39 Well, it looks like we got
00:08:41 A short in the thermo coupler.
00:08:43 You wanna give mea hand with that?
00:08:45 You want me to help?
00:08:46 As much as, uh, buddy was accepted
00:08:49 By his family and friends,
00:08:51 There were a few drawbacks
00:08:53 To being, uh, a human in, uh
00:09:18 Hey, Ming Ming.
00:09:20 Um...
00:09:21 I'm gonna be a little bit short
00:09:25 It's all right, buddy.
00:09:26 Just how many etch-a-sketches
00:09:28 Did you get finished?
00:09:31 Come on, buddy. How many?
00:09:34 I made, uh... 85.
00:09:44 Eighty-five?
00:09:47 That puts you...
00:09:50 915 off the pace.
00:09:51 Ooh... that's bad.
00:09:52 Why don't you just say it?
00:09:54 I'm the worst toy maker in
00:09:56 I'm a cotton-headed ninny-muggins.
00:09:59 No, buddy, you're not cotton-
00:10:02 We all just have different talents
00:10:05 Seems like everyone else
00:10:06 Have the same talents
00:10:08 You... you have, you have lots of
00:10:11 Special talents in fact, like
00:10:14 Special talents?
00:10:15 You changed the batteries in the
00:10:18 You sure did... aaa's.
00:10:18 And in six months, you'll have
00:10:22 Won't he?
00:10:22 And you're the only baritone in
00:10:25 You bring us down whole octave.
00:10:27 In a good way.
00:10:29 See, buddy?
00:10:30 You're not a cotton-headed ninny-
00:10:32 You're just... special.
00:10:37 And so, buddy was sent where the...
00:10:42 Aah!
00:10:55 Ah!
00:11:19 Hey, foom foom...
00:11:20 I hate to do this to you, but you
00:11:22 Help me pick up the slack on those
00:11:25 No problem. I appreciate it.
00:11:27 Buddy is killing me.
00:11:27 I already got lum lum and choochoo pulling' doubles.
00:11:31 That was quick thinking yesterday
00:11:33 With that ¡°special talents¡± thing.
00:11:34 Ming Ming: I feel bad for the guy.
00:11:35 I just hope he doesn't get wise.
00:11:37 Well, if he hasn't figured out
00:11:40 I don't think he ever will.
00:11:46 If he hasn't figured
00:11:49 By now, I don't think he ever will.
00:11:53 I think they're too small.
00:11:57 You're just... special.
00:12:19 You don't look so good, buddy.
00:12:21 Are you okay?
00:12:22 I'll be okay, I just need a glass
00:12:25 Aah!
00:12:28 Buddy...
00:12:32 Unh! Aah!
00:12:51 Buddy, are you okay?
00:12:53 I'm sorry, papa.
00:12:55 I just need some alone time.
00:12:57 Buddy, I... I think we... we have
00:13:00 Buddy, uh, I think there's something
00:13:03 I... I probably should tell you.
00:13:06 You probably should have found
00:13:10 A long time ago.
00:13:11 I then proceeded to tell buddy of
00:13:14 Had fallen in love when he was
00:13:17 With a beautiful girl named
00:13:20 And how buddy was born
00:13:21 And put up for adoption by
00:13:24 And how she had later passed away.
00:13:27 I... I told him his father
00:13:28 Had never even known that
00:13:30 And most importantly,
00:13:31 I told him where his father was...
00:13:33 Uh, in a magical land called
00:13:37 My dad works there?
00:13:39 Empire state building.
00:13:46 Hey, buddy, wanna pick some
00:13:48 Not now, arctic puffin.
00:13:52 Hello, buddy. Oh... hi, Leon.
00:13:55 Why the long face, partner?
00:13:58 It seems I'm... I'm not an elf.
00:14:00 'Course you're not. You're 6'3"
00:14:03 And had a beard since you were 15.
00:14:05 Papa says my real father
00:14:06 Lives in a magical place far away.
00:14:10 I don't know what to do.
00:14:11 At least you have a daddy.
00:14:12 I was just rolled up one day and
00:14:16 But the thing is, I've never even left
00:14:19 Buddy, I've been around the worid
00:14:21 When I was a young cumulus
00:14:23 It's a wonderful place, filled with
00:14:27 Except dogs.
00:14:28 Oh, by the way, don't eat the
00:14:31 Oh, I know that.
00:14:31 All I'm say in' is, this might be
00:14:35 To find out whom you really are.
00:14:41 So, I hear you're going
00:14:43 On a little journey to
00:14:46 Yup. Ahh.
00:14:47 I'm kind a nervous.
00:14:49 Leon says New York is pretty
00:14:51 Oh, don't pay attention to Leon.
00:14:52 He's never been anywhere.
00:14:56 I've been to New York thousands
00:14:59 Really? Mm-hmm.
00:15:00 What's it like?
00:15:01 Well, there are some things you

00:15:17 And if you see a sign that
00:15:20 That doesn't mean that
00:15:22 Look at presents before Christmas.

00:29:11 Especially in front of other
00:29:13 Well, if you sing alone,
00:29:15 In front of other people. There's
00:29:17 Actually, there's a big difference.

00:41:17 He got mad at me. Yes, he did.

00:41:44 Hi.
00:41:46 What do you want for Christmas?
00:41:47 A Suzy-talks-a-lot.
00:41:48 I'll put in a good word with
00:41:51 Thanks. Your costume is pretty.
00:41:53 Oh, it's not a costume.
00:41:56 Well, technically, I'm a human,
00:41:58 But I was raised by elves.
00:42:00 Oh, I'm a human raised by humans.
00:42:03 Hmm. Cool.
00:42:11 So?
00:42:15 It's a boy... buddy's your son.
00:42:18 That's very impossible.
00:42:20 You... you saw that guy out there.
00:42:21 He's... he's certifiably insane.
00:42:23 He's probably just reverting
00:42:24 To a state of childlike
00:42:27 An elf?
00:42:28 What he needs is to be nurtured.
00:42:30 Oh, I see.
00:42:32 So, um, uh...
00:42:34 You'd like me to breastfeed him?
00:42:35 Walter, just bring him home.
00:42:37 Introduce him to Emily and
00:42:38 And once... once he comes to
00:42:41 He should drop the whole elf
00:42:44 I mean, that's what I would do if
00:42:46 Oh, my god! Walter, this is...
00:42:50 This is wonderful,
00:42:51 You... you have another son.
00:42:53 Wonderful. Oh, gosh, I...
00:42:55 I guess I never really thought
00:42:58 This is incredible, I...
00:42:59 You know, it's a little
00:43:01 But it's nothing that we can't
00:43:04 Honey? What?
00:43:06 He thinks he's an elf.
00:43:09 I'm sorry, what?
00:43:10 He think she's a Christmas elf.
00:43:13 Oh, come on, Walter,
00:43:14 I'm sure he doesn't actually
00:43:18 And then, I traveled through
00:43:21 Of the candy cane forest,
00:43:23 Past the sea of swirly-twirly
00:43:27 And then, I walked through the
00:43:50 Ahh.
00:43:53 So, where were you for the
00:43:57 The north pole.
00:43:58 Can you pass the maple syrup?
00:44:01 I... I didn't put... it's
00:44:05 Oh, you know what? I think
00:44:08 Yes.
00:44:11 You like sugar, huh?
00:44:12 Is there sugar in syrup?
00:44:14 Yes.
00:44:15 Then yes.
00:44:17 We elves try to stick to the
00:44:19 Candy, candy canes, candy corns,
00:44:25 So, will you be staying with us?
00:44:29 You mean I can stay?
00:44:30 Of course you can. Emily.
00:44:32 How... how long do you think
00:44:34 I... I hadn't really planned
00:44:37 But I was thinking, like...
00:44:39 Emily? Can I just speak to you
00:44:42 in the, uh, kitchen, please?
00:44:47 Are you crazy? He cannot
00:44:50 Clearly he has some serious issues.
00:44:52 We can't just throw him out in
00:44:54 Why not? He loves the snow.
00:44:56 He's told me 15 times.
00:44:58 Walter, he's your son.
00:45:14 Did you hear that?
00:45:17 You are so weird.
00:45:21 Dad?
00:45:26 Dad?
00:45:28 Dad!
00:45:31 What?
00:45:37 What?
00:45:42 I am not gonna tuck you in.
00:45:44 I... I promise I'll go right
00:45:50 Fine.
00:45:59 Tickle fight, tickle fight!
00:46:01 Tickle fight. Tickle... stop
00:46:03 Sorry.
00:46:05 It's all right.
00:46:06 Hey, uh...
00:46:08 You just lay there and go to
00:46:11 Okay.
00:46:12 Okay.
00:46:14 Dad? Hmm?
00:46:17 I love you.
00:46:22 Okay. Go to sleep now.
00:46:30 Well, this is really something.
00:46:32 I'm usually the one making
00:46:37 That's good, that's good.
00:46:41 Okay.
00:46:50 Oh, that's good.
00:46:52 Good? Good.
00:46:54 Good.
00:46:55 So, did you, um...
00:46:58 Did you sleep okay last night?
00:46:59 Great. I got a full 40 minutes.
00:47:01 And I had time to build that
00:47:04 Uh, oh, my gosh. You actually
00:47:09 Where did you get all the wood?
00:47:21 Good morning, honey. Good
00:47:24 Walter, buddy has made us
00:47:27 Isn't that nice?
00:47:29 And lunch.
00:47:31 And lunch.
00:47:32 Bye.
00:47:33 So, dad, how many scoops?
00:47:34 I'll stick with the coffee now,
00:47:40 So, dad...
00:47:40 I planned out our whole day.
00:47:42 First, we'll make snow angels
00:47:43 And then we'll go ice skating
00:47:46 Of tollhouse cookie dough as fast
00:47:48 And then, to finish, we'll snuggle.
00:47:50 I've got to go to work, buddy.
00:47:53 Oh, and another thing...
00:47:54 If you're going to be staying
00:47:56 You should think about, you know,
00:47:58 Getting rid of the costume.
00:48:00 But I've worn this my whole life.
00:48:01 You're not in the North Pole any
00:48:04 You wanna make me happy, don't you?
00:48:07 More than anything.
00:48:07 Then, lose the tights. I mean,
00:48:12 As soon as possible?
00:48:14 As soon as possible.
00:48:15 Okay.
00:48:18 I almost forgot...
00:48:20 Aah! Aah!
00:48:24 Good morning.
00:48:31 Walter here.
00:48:31 It worked, it's you.
00:48:34 How'd you get this number?
00:48:36 Emily left an emergency list.
00:48:38 I see.
00:48:38 And, uh, is this an emergency?
00:48:40 There's a horrible noise
00:48:41 Coming from the evil
00:48:44 It sounds like this...
00:48:49 It's, uh, it's... it's not evil,
00:48:52 It's, uh, it's a radiator,
00:48:53 And the heat makes noise when
00:48:55 No, it doesn't. It... It's very
00:48:58 It's scary to look at. It's...
00:49:02 I'm going toward... oh, wait.
