Leo is actually one of the only reactors which I watch the whole intro cause you never know what’s gonna be said or done! 😂 You the man Leo, love the reactions! ❤ Edit: 15:40 ☠️😂
@@SuperiorlySubversive If those things with his channel didn't happen, he'd still be the king of the reaction channels. There was a time when every reaction he did would get 100k views.
@@SuperiorlySubversive TH-cam started demonetising all his videos for his use of smoking joints. This is why he no longer does it on camera, they were hitting every video on his main channel so he made secondary channels to get around it and it hurt his main channel's view count which he stopped using for a while.
19:03 fun fact that doctor is played by the Director of the movie who is also the Director of the first two Iron Man movies and he plays happy in the Marvel series.
It's amazing how they use movie magic to make him look so small in this role and in Game of Thrones. I'm just happy we got to see him at his true size in "Avengers: Infinity War".
The first part of the movie where Will Ferrell gets scared of the jack in the box is real, the director had a remote control that he triggered whenever he wanted. Also Merry Christmas you the goat Mr. video
The most unbelievable part of the whole movie is the guy in the mail room saying he's only 26. Jovi was played by Zooey Deschanel. One movie she stars in that I highly recommend, is 500 Days Of Summer. IMO that is a must watch for young men.
No they didn’t use little people for some of the scenes of him with the elves. It was PERSPECTIVE! They just had him closer to the camera than the others. Everyone looked where he would be if they were actually smaller than him and he looked down. They weren’t actually looking at each other though!
No matter how many times I've watched this, and it's one of my favorites, I still can't watch him eat the gum under the railings. Santa was not specific enough 😂 😂
The guy who does props on yt shorts said it was pre chewed gum by Will himself and the gum was put on a piece of packing tape taped to the underside of the rail 🤣🤣 hope that helps next time you watch
So for the elf scenes, like Buddy hugging Papa Elf and sitting on him, they actually had kids play the elves. For the sitting scene, they had someone lie down and placed Papa Elf a foot behind to make it look like he was being sat on. Same thing for the bike scene in the beginning, kids hands on shoulders, Papa Elf a foot back. Its so cool how they did it all!!!
It is so fascinating how they used practical effects to make Will Ferrell look tall and the elves look small. It is all forced perspective, a photography trick that alters the size of subjects to make them look either bigger or smaller.
They used "force perspective" to make the elves look small. You line up the camera where it looks like they're standing next to each other, but the elf character is just further back.
The size effect at the north pole workshop was not CG or anything it was all tricks done in camera like having Buddy closer to the camera than the elves.
Babies do get paid, or their parents do! But they can only work 4 hours a day. Also here’s a fun fact because we all like to throw these out, but this was one I didn’t notice myself until someone pointed it out… The super uptight manager dude was named Wanda, because the role was original cast with Wanda Sykes. She had to drop out, and I guess when the new guy was hired he said he wanted to keep the nametag the same! I kinda wish I could have seen her in the role, but he did great and I think she’d have stolen the show, so I guess it’s okay!
As a Chicagoan, I need this story re-written for us where instead of walking through the Lincoln Tunnel, he walks through, and inevitably gets lost in, Lower Wacker. lol
I've lived in Minnesota for my whole life, It's cold down here. But we have had all kinds of fun in the snow. Snowboarding, Sledding, and snowball fights.
Yes the babies would get paid. Will Ferrel said that James Caam didnt find him funny and thought the movie was going to suck but once he saw the final product he changed his mind.
One thing that didn't make sense to me was Michael making Santa's sleigh fly briefly. Santa says you believed in me...but also says if people saw him they wouldn't believe anymore. So Michael shouldn't have worked, he wasn't believing in Santa, HE SAW HIM. When you see he's real you don't believe he is, you KNOW he is...
The correct term is Little Person or Little People That's why they had shows like Little People Big World, The Little Couple, Little Women: Atlanta, etc.
Thank you. I am watching it with a face of... ummm wtf?? Lol Still fabulous, as Leo Rocks. But yeah must be last years that cleared for this year?? Cheers and Merry Christmas.
This movie is great & this reaction is fun. I do hate how people push a message of blind faith being a good thing. Believing things for bad reasons is not good. This in no way undermines the message that family is of primary importance, especially around the holidays. Santa avoiding the press to insist on believing by word of mouth is horrible and is also terrible in a religious context. I enjoy the humor of this movie and knew this was the right channel to get a fun reaction.
I just watched this today! Such a great Christmas movie! RIP James Caan, Ed Asner, and Bob Newhart

Will Ferrell was offered a truckload of $ to do a sequel, but he refused because he didn't want to ruin Elf's legacy
He also said he wouldn't look good in the tights anymore.
Andddd because he couldn't stand eating so much sweets
I'm sure there are a million reasons he could come up with, this movie is 100% perfect the way it is
@@adamsgrad93 new movie idea... santa dies and buddy has to assume the mantle 😁

I could not WAIT for you to see TYRONE 😂 the “South Pole Angry Elf”
Pre-GoT Tyrone
Yep that was one of the main things I was waiting for in this reaction. Leo didn't disappoint 🤣
@ he never does, does he. Leo is the best.
It's amazing how they use movie magic to make him look so small in this role and in Game of Thrones. I'm just happy we got to see him at his true size in "Avengers: Infinity War".
RIP Bob Newhart aka Papa Elf! He actually passed away this year like 5 months ago. 😣
Also Ed Asner and James Caan
Best reaction to Peter Dinklage ever. 🤣
"TYRONE!!!"
Cool fact alot of people don't knw is Ming Ming is actually "Ralphie" from "A Christmas Story"
Really?? I've watched elf so many times and didn't know!😱😱
Can't miss those baby blues 👀
He also co produced the movie
Holy shite that’s crazy!
Recognized him immediately. Nice touch having an iconic Christmas actor show up.
TBH, this is one of the few channels I would spend money to watch the full movie reaction…. I may just jump on the opportunity soon!!
Best 5 bucks I’ve ever spent.
The head elf is Ralphie from “A Christmas Story”!
"What do y'all want for Christmas?"
I got a good one. My Lung Cancer removed successfully. Thank you Santa!
Hoping you health in 2025.
@@JSainte17 Thank you very much. You as well. :)

Fun fact 10:50 santa was just a random guy that Will Ferrell approached and called Santa. Comedy genius
Seriously 3200 people watched this and u can't click like for mr video ...shows the Christmas spirit
Merry Christmas Leo! Thanks for bringing me YEARS of smiles and joy ❤

Yeah, he's like 46.
Buddy’s father is Sonny from the Godfather !
"The Polar Express" please...if not for this year, keep it on the list for next year.
Fun fact a lot of the people Buddy interacted with when he first got to New York weren’t actors they were actual people, like the guy he called Santa.
Film theory actually did a video on how Buddy is super human and would be a better Santa than Santa himself.
"You sit on a throne of lies!"
Zooey Deschanel (Jovie) really sings in her hand, She and Him.
I love this film.It's one of my favourites.Thank you for uploading this
The elf Ming-Ming who was overseeing the making of the toys originally played Ralphie in A Christmas Story
Best reactors on TH-cam and one of the best channels out there. Hilarious and true content that never disappoints lmao
My man... I have been with you for years. Love you brother. Have a great Christmas!!

This is in my top 5 of Christmas movies - and next is "Bad Santa?" I'm in Christmas heaven right now! Thank you, Leo!❤
Leo content is so wholesome ❤
James Caan was awesome in this movie and Misery. RIP😢

I love your reactions! They’re so fun and heartfelt!
I love this movie!
Kidnapping? His parents were looking for him? He was in an orphanage...his mom was dead and his father didn't even know he was born lol.

Watching this even though I already watched the full reaction last year on Patreon. Leo’s laugh is contagious and this reaction is hilarious. 😂
This was fun! 😊❤
Merry Christmas Mr. Video and All! 🎅🏻🌟🎄
For Christmas, I would like unlimited snacks.
My favorite Will Ferrell movie 😂💚👏🏻🎅🏻🎄🎥
3:33 The blueprints for that teleportation app you were talking about! I don’t need him to make it just tell me how to make it.
The LAST HOLIDAY!
YES!!!! 100%!!
My favourite Christmas film. I play it every year to my primary school kids I teach. They all love it.
Merry Christmas dude appreciate all your videos. 🤟
LOVE Will Ferrell. My favorites yet to be on the channel are The Campaign, Stranger than fiction, Night at the Roxbury and Eurovision
Absolutely YES to Night at the Roxbury
Love you, Mr. Video ❤️ this movie always gets an annual watch from me, I’m glad you enjoyed it so much!! Merry Christmas 🎄
You have a kind heart like buddy

Happy Holidays and Happy Christmas Eve handsome hope your doing well, love the video! ❤😇🙃

Hey you brought it back!
Merry Christmas Leo!
Hope you and your loved ones have the happiest of holidays ❤❤❤
Thank you for arching this one!!
15:38 Well now we know why you haven’t gotten anything from Santa…….. NAUGHTY list! 😆😂🤣
Zoey Deschanel does look good as an elf. Of course, she looks good in almost anything.
Imagine elf joining the woo😂😂😂
For sure one of the top movies/ Christmas vacation/ Charlie Brown/ home alone!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas, Leo! 🎄🎅never change 😂
Teleport machine?! Teleport yourself to the land down under….but you can leave the oatmeal cookies there! 🤘🏻
