​So you think you know everything about the movie, ELF?

The lead role was originally offered to Jim Carrey

​ who turned it down. 

 

​

The actor who played Ralphie in ‘A Christmas Story’ appears as an elf

​.​  He had an uncredited cameo as one of the supervising elves in Santa's workshop.

​The director came up with the brilliant idea to use ​characters from classic Christmas specials and they were filmed in stop-motion animation mode.

​

The elf costumes are exact replicas of the elf costumes from ‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’

Will

​ 

Ferrell’s jumpy reactions to the laughing clowns were genuine.

​ ​

The very last jack-in-the-box was controlled by 

​the director 

off-stage by remote control. 

​H​

e wanted to wait until Ferrell thought it wouldn’t jump out to get the right scare out of him for the scene.

​

The voice of Brain on ‘Animaniacs’ had an uncredited role as Buddy’s 12-second burp

​.​

​

Ferrell suffered from headaches and a lack of sleep from eating all the sugar

​.​

T

​he director​

 used an old movie trick called “forced perspective” to make the elves appear smaller in the presence of Ferrell

​.​  

Some of the workshop sets had to be built twice so Ferrell would appear bigger than the elves while they stood on a separate platform in the larger sets. The right lighting helped blend the two scenes together on film.

Will Ferrell turned down a huge chunk of money to do ‘Elf 2′

​.

Ferrell said in an interview just before ‘Elf’ was released that he actually played Santa in an outdoor shopping mall

​.​
