I just Noticed That They were singing in front of The World Trade Center. (The Forks give em away). or atleast a Digital Recreation of The World Trade Center.
James Raymond me as well! I remember seeing this in theaters back when I was 8 and when the guys in the Mailroom start singing I can't resist and I start singing too!
Yep, all of them, including Emily, Michael, Carolyn and everyone else singing, except for that Greenway guy, whom in my opinion, should've been on the naughty list. He is definitely not in the whole Christmas holiday spirit thing.
I'm 36 and idk what it is but it seems like I get more and more sensitive to these things as I get older. Knowing that Santa needs a little bit more power just by Walter singing out loud and then taking off full blast on full Christmas Spirit gives me goosebumps and I tend to get teary eyed. It's just a beautiful magically moment.... Merry Christmas Everybody!
@Pico true but for Christmas movies it's one of the best original story movies. Sure frosty and roudolf are the best but original story this is one of the best
Damn it...I start sobbing every time. From Mary Steenburgen coming in unsure of herself to the crowd slowly joining the song to the whole city getting involved...and then that move into the movie’s theme when James Caan hits his note and Santa flies through the sky. The sheer joy and wonder...it’s like I’m a little kid again. I BELIEVE. :)
While Santa may or may not be real, your family is. Your friends are. Your children are. You being good to people is very real. And that truly is the christmas spirit. To spend time with your loved ones and friends and making memories you'll cherish forever. That is the Christmas Spirit, that is what Santa would want. And in a way, with us following through, Santa really does come to town.
When I was a kid we watched the local news on Christmas Eve because each year they would update us with a "Santa Sighting' on the weather map. (1 large X and 3 small ones floating across the weather map.) My parents would use it as their cue to send us to bed because everyone knew if you weren't asleep he wouldn't come to your house... some 30+ years later I still watch the news every year for the " Santa Sighting."
Fun fact: in 2018 on Christmas Eve I was watching the news eating food in. My bed looking for news about Santa Claus. They were only talking about returning this food to the store and blah blah blah, I changed it back to the channel I was watching because they said NOTHING about Santa. Must’ve not been in my area yet
Jodie's character develpmwnt was really great too... she went from being shy about her singing to being brave enough to sing in front of a crowd and end up saving Christmas!
Elf is a pretty average xmas movie, but for some reason this scene in particular just always brings a tear to my eye. I know it's completely illogical because it's impossible, but just imagine how amazing it would be as a kid to watch Santa's sleigh flying over your head on Christmas Eve in New York.
@@TheCeraization Personally it’s a movie that got less funny as I got older (another similar movie that I’ve watched less as an adult is The Grinch), whereas movies like Love Actually, Home Alone, Miracle on 34th Street, A Christmas Carol, The Holiday were just as enjoyable when I was 10 as they are now at 27. I’m not saying it’s a bad movie, but in my opinion it isn’t as enjoyable as it once was :)
Watched this yesterday.. love this scene so much. Rip James Caan and Ed Asner. Thank you for being apart of giving us one of the best Christmas movies ever ♥️
When you seeing people singing together, not causing trouble and enjoying themselves seeing past others differences it’s so heartwarming. This is Exhibit A
3:01 is the part that touches at your inner child, mostly all the people in the frame look well into their 30s, probably have kids, jobs, stresses of adult life, and forgot what it was like to believe in Santa as a kid, and then seeing the man they believed in as kids fly right over their heads, my reaction would probably be the same.
You better watch out You better not cry Better not pout I'm telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town He's making a list And checking it twice; Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice Santa Claus is coming to town He sees you when you're sleeping He knows when you're awake He knows if you've been bad or good So be good for goodness sake! O! You better watch out! You better not cry Better not pout I'm telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town
I’m watching this on Christmas today! Today’s Christmas Day! Merry Christmas! In this video, I like how everyone sings together with joy to bring peace and show Christmas spirit!
5 more sleeps until Christmas and here I am! The first time I saw this movie nearly 20 years ago, I had no idea what a wonderful holiday story I was in for. This was the first movie that made me dream of being in NYC at Christmas Time! Elf may have some bits and pieces of cheese factor. But its themes of family, inner youth and finding your place in the world are what makes it shine through. RIP Ed Asner
James Caan starts to sing. The reindeers pulling the sleigh come into view behind him. Then, they take off and fly over the crowd. The music changes..... and I get goosebumps and teary eyed. Everytime.
2:14 Yakko Warner: You Better Watch Out Wakko Warner: You Better Not Cry Dot Warner: You Better Not Cry While I’m Telling You Why Santa Clause: Come On Bot Warner: Santa Clause Is Coming Stinkler San Juan: To Town
I was there for the '76 July 4th spectacle in Battery Park-- so many New Yorkers shoulder to shoulder.... a million? Idk.... on the subway back to my uncle's place, the entire car swelled with pride and everyone began singing patriotic songs. I witnessed that from New Yorkers in person, so yeah this group singing along in this scene is totally believable, oh yeah
you've gotta love the bit where the sleigh passes them all and they just look stunned haha - this is a great movie. close to christmas now, so it should be back on telly, like all the home alone's and the grudge hehe xx
Christmas is a magical time of year it brings people together no matter what and this song just shows the true spirit of xmas young and old alike I remember I was on my own in a dark place I had a roof over my head lost all my friends and family I had very little money running up to Xmas and was looking to spend Xmas alone without anyone. that's what did happen I got watever I needed a few days before Xmas when I got paid bought electric food and because I was alone I needed my family to help and support me but that never happened on 1 Xmas occasion in particular
Imaging being that baby and 10 years time your mom said this. When you were a few months old we were in central park and Santa flew over us and everyone else. I would never forget that day
This scene hits really hard once you consider Buddys Dad lost his previous wife on Christmas, so his overcoming his grief to celebrate christmas for his son is that last little bit of spirit that prevents Santas slay committing a very awkward tragedy that day lol.
1:17 - There's an Easter Egg. One of the Jack-in-the-Box toys that Buddy was testing when he got demoted from his duty of making toys at the North Pole just popped open right in his face on Christmas Eve on Santa's sleigh.
Why did you stop? I am 62 and I still believe in Santa. Just because you can't see something, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Faith is believing in something even when common sense tells you not to.
The best way to spread Christmas cheer, is singing loud so all can hear.

@@crystaljones4210 Right!

I always shed a tear here. Lol. Damn everyone singing together.

Sameee!!!😭❤️ I thought the only one

@suseJ you're not kidding
Yep!
"I'm getting too old for this job"
I died of laughter
I fell off the bed because of the laughter
I laughed so hard I could not breath

It has no sense since Saint nicholas born 300 years affter christ so he is 1700 years old now
I just Noticed That They were singing in front of The World Trade Center. (The Forks give em away). or atleast a Digital Recreation of The World Trade Center.
I love how Santa shows up and all people can do is stare. No gasps of shock just blank stares.
Rest In Peace, Ed Asner. You were the Santa-est Santa in my book! 😢
James Caan too! This scene of theirs was meaningful!
I find it so hard to believe he went from jolly Santa to grumpy Carl
When it shows all the characters singing, it gives me goosebumps. I love this movie so much!
i agree Christmas spirit is defining in enjoying the holidays.
James Raymond me as well! I remember seeing this in theaters back when I was 8 and when the guys in the Mailroom start singing I can't resist and I start singing too!
@@mattgerrish908 I liked when Leon and the department store workers were singing it.
I thought I was the only one lmao! I love this so much.
Yk what else has me have goosebumps? They were singing this at what looks like to be The World Trade Center Lobbies of the Twin Towers
I don’t know which is better; the mailroom employees singing, the department store workers singing, the bikers singing or the dad joining in.
I'd say all of the above.
Yep, all of them, including Emily, Michael, Carolyn and everyone else singing, except for that Greenway guy, whom in my opinion, should've been on the naughty list. He is definitely not in the whole Christmas holiday spirit thing.
Mine is the office
@@animalsandmore2860 I liked Leon and the department store crew.
I wish they showed Miles Finch singing...
I'm 36 and idk what it is but it seems like I get more and more sensitive to these things as I get older.

A tear always comes out. Best film ever. Watch it every year. Now I have watched it it is officially christmas
Not the best....
@Pico true but for Christmas movies it's one of the best original story movies. Sure frosty and roudolf are the best but original story this is one of the best
This gives me goosebumps.
It's the baby's eyes watching Santa fly overhead that always gets me.
I love how the North Pole workers, mail room employees and tough bikers sing along
Don't forget, Deborah, Eugene, and Morris
Yep, including Wanda
Me too!
My entire class was singing along to this scene
llkkk
My class in Oak Hills did to!
Damn it...I start sobbing every time. From Mary Steenburgen coming in unsure of herself to the crowd slowly joining the song to the whole city getting involved...and then that move into the movie’s theme when James Caan hits his note and Santa flies through the sky. The sheer joy and wonder...it’s like I’m a little kid again. I BELIEVE. :)
I BELIEVE. :) !!!!
2:20 the most satisfying thing about this scene to me is to see the usually grouchy manager so happy!
XD 🤣
this scene never gets old
I agree!
I agree it’s so wholesome

I've watched this movie ever year and I still
get the feels!
Vendetta same
What do you mean you get the feels ?🤨
@@childhooddreamer6975 Watching this movie around Christmas is a traditional, and makes me feel like a kid again
Me too it makes me cry tears of joy
@@childhooddreamer6975 tears of joy
Cried at this scene, especially after a year like this. Who would have thought this would have made me so nostalgic and miss the simpler times.
I was 10 when this movie came out. And I know how you feel.
2:04...It's Christmas Eve, what child voluntarily watches the news???
Or a new report about Santa clause existing would have most kids watching
When I was a kid we watched the local news on Christmas Eve because each year they would update us with a "Santa Sighting' on the weather map. (1 large X and 3 small ones floating across the weather map.)

Must’ve not been in my area yet
2:04
I always cry when santa flys
Jajajajajajaj i wanna cry
Same
3:07 I cried at this part. Not because they got away but because my grandpa said “Santa just ran a red light in a no flying zone!”.
When I first watch the movie I never noticed that Santa Clause's slay was in the background.
I forgot that I was sad that Buddy lift but at the end he and his girlfriend was there and I felt less sad, also he lift his father again.
"I'm getting too old for this job."
Best Santa quote.
Jodie's character develpmwnt was really great too... she went from being shy about her singing to being brave enough to sing in front of a crowd and end up saving Christmas!
It’s Jovie. And I bet this is the reason Zoey Deschanel was cast as Lady Larkin in Once Upon A Mattress
I love how all the friends Buddy as made start to sing
I have watched this scene a 1000 times and it still brings a tear to my eye 🥺
Omg I thought I was the only one who cried watching this part
nope>>> blubbering like a baby.
I cry on this too
I love this scene. It’s so wholesome. All the lives Buddy touched start singing because he got them to believe.
Elf is a pretty average xmas movie, but for some reason this scene in particular just always brings a tear to my eye. I know it's completely illogical because it's impossible, but just imagine how amazing it would be as a kid to watch Santa's sleigh flying over your head on Christmas Eve in New York.
Lauren Rozario most Christmas movies are average, the only reason we watch them is because they are in fact Christmas movies
That would make me a believer for life!!!
Elf is above average for a Christmas movie... I don’t know why this comment has over 100 likes.
@@TheCeraization Personally it’s a movie that got less funny as I got older (another similar movie that I’ve watched less as an adult is The Grinch), whereas movies like Love Actually, Home Alone, Miracle on 34th Street, A Christmas Carol, The Holiday were just as enjoyable when I was 10 as they are now at 27.

Average? This is prolly one of the best movies ever made
The mom has true singing talent. Her voice and pitch is just absolutely perfect!
Welp the Central Park rangers are definitely going to be on the naughty list chasing Santa Claus
Thumbs up if you sing along every damn time. I know I do.

2:58 makes me cry R.I.P. James Caan 😭
The best way to spread christmas cheer is to sing loud and clear for all to hear
Squidward: So if we sing loud people might actually think we're good, everybody ready? and a one, and a two, and a one, two, three, four.
...okay lets be so quiet so no one can hear us
Well Maybe we wouldn't sound so bad if some people didn't play with Big Meaty Claws.
