"It looks like Santa's workshop, except it smells like mushrooms and everyone looks like they want to hurt me". Bhhhah haa-haa, love him!

Not really it's early in the morning on set even a jester is serious during the early morning on set same with a sound check when ur performing on tour

it's funny... While Will was filming he wasn't sure if this movie was going to be a failure or a success....

I find that hard to believe! But I didn’t expect to enjoy the movie. So I kinda understand his mindset

[@flohorton3017]

Funny that they had to use a blue screen cause he was wearing green 😂

[@TimingSmile]

Ikr

[@Gavin_duh]

I think that’s not why because he’s wearing dark green

[@finnfunko3293]

Bright and shiny Bright and shiny some parts of it could still be green screen green because of lighting

[@Gavin_duh]

Finn Edits yeah I guess your right

[@NotDingse]

Flo Horton Actually before green screen became the standard, movie and television productions used blue screen until around the 70’s

[@BMarie774]

Elf has a special place in my heart. The night before Christmas not long after it came out, they played it on tv. I was laying in bed with my mom (we were staying at my grandparent's house) and it came in. I got super excited as I'd been dying to see it. My mom secretly was all happy because I start begging her to get it on DVD and little did I know, she already had.

[@debjoy12]

even more impressive considering that Ed Asner was 73 years old at the time :O

[@RaytheonNublinski]

The acting looks so bad when you see it behind the scenes.

[@tornadodee148]

a bit true

[@cl22396]

If you compare it to the behind the scenes of other movies it’s actually pretty good-all acting looks relatively cheesy without good directing and editing.

It’s interesting that how they made this movie is how they used to make movies before super special effects. All the work that went into it was very interesting.

"and shave at lunch too" lol

[@X-GamerPro-HD]

The mailroom scene, bathroom scene and the angry elf scene is my favourite one. It’s just so funny 😂

[@moonbased7796]

Fun fact: The baby who played baby Buddy is actually a girl and not only that they used twin girls because originally they tried to use triplet boys but unfortunately the boys were too fussy so they decided to go with twin girls since they were easier to work with!

Cool

[@manuelorozco7760]

I feel you. I did not expect the movie to be that good

[@custodiansrock]

I didn't realize Jon Favreau directed this movie until I saw this clip. Will was great in this movie. My favorite line is when he says, "is it made with sugar? Then, YES!". Makes me laugh everytime.
