English Summary:
Elf is a 2003 American Christmas comedy film directed by Jon Favreau and written by David Berenbaum. Starring Will Ferrell, James Caan, Zooey Deschanel, Mary Steenburgen, Daniel Tay, Ed Asner and Bob Newhart, the film centers on Buddy, a human who was adopted and raised by Santa's elves, to which he learns about this and heads to New York City to meet his biological father while also spreading Christmas cheer in a world of cynics in the process.
On one Christmas Eve, a baby boy at an orphanage crawls into Santa Claus's sack and is unwittingly transported back to the North Pole. When discovered at the workshop, the elves name him Buddy after the brand label on his diaper, and Papa Elf adopts and raises him. Buddy grows up at the North Pole believing he is an elf and accepted by the elf community, but due to his human size is unable to keep up with the other elves and demoted to the demeaning job of toy testing. When Buddy overhears that he is a human, Papa Elf explains that Buddy was born to Walter Hobbs and Susan Wells, and given up for adoption. Susan subsequently died and Walter, who now works for a children's book publisher at the Empire State Building in New York City, is unaware of Buddy's existence. To Buddy's horror, Santa reveals that Walter is on the naughty list due to his callous and unscrupulous demeanor, but suggests Buddy could help redeem him.
Hungarian Summary:
Régen, egy Karácsony éjjelén bemászik a Mikulás ajándékkal teletömött zsákjába egy árva kisfiú, akiről nem tudván elviszi magával az Északi Sarkra. Kénytelen otttartani a kölyköt, és eldönti, hogy egy elfet neveltet belőle. Buddy háromszor olyan gyorsan nő, mint a többi elf, és képtelen a beilleszkedésre a hozzájuk. Miután megtudja az igazságot, útra kél, hogy meglelje hőn áhított családját. Ahogy Buddie felfedezi a számára ismeretlen világot, gyorsan megtanulja, hogy az élet másból is áll, mint a jégkorcsolyából. Eleinte magányosabb, mint az Északi Sarkon valaha is volt. A vér szerinti apjára próbál rátalálni, a munkamániás könyvkiadóra, aki épp most próbál publikálni egy Mikulásról szóló gyermekkönyvet. Amikor találkozik apa a fiával, egy cseppet sem hisz a hallottakból. Buddy a mostohaanyjával, 10 éves mostohatestvérével és egy szép nővel is találkozik, akik nem hisznek egyáltalán a Karácsonyban, a Mikulásban és tündérmesékben. Gyakorlatilag senki sem tudja már, miről is szól egyáltalán e csodás ünnep. Buddie-nak mindent be kell vetnie, hogy megnyerje családja kegyeit, és egy komoly elfhez méltóan megmutassa New York-nak és az egész világnak, mi is az a Karácsony.
