It’s also the sound of the laughing hyenas featured in the Magic Kingdom area at Disney World in Orlando, Florida. The laugh is from the hyena in the zoo in Lady and the Tramp, which someone was kind enough to share on YouTube to confirm. The horrifying laughter in the Jack-in-the-boxes that Buddy tests is actually from a classic Disney film.

So in the interest of spreading holiday cheer, here are 27 things you never noticed in Elf before. And perhaps it’s because Buddy excels at transporting you to a time when you believed in Santa Claus that you may have missed some fun details you otherwise would have picked up on, including tons of nods to other beloved Christmas flicks. “The fact that it’s in rotation is the highest honor that movie can have.” Years later, it still holds true.Įlf has the ability to make you laugh and cry and be filled with holiday wonder, just as any good Christmas flick should. “Our goal, even then, was to make a movie that could be part of that pantheon,” he said. In an interview with Rolling Stone for the 10-year anniversary of Elf, director Jon Favreau said it was his hope from the start that the film would become a holiday classic. But while you’ve probably seen this movie hundreds of times since it came out in 2003, you still likely missed these things while watching Elf. Buddy’s childlike innocence can get anybody into the holiday spirit, including his Scrooge-like biological dad, Walter Hobbs ( James Caan). Will Ferrell’s Buddy the Elf is an expert in spreading Christmas cheer, whether it’s by singing loudly for all to hear, crooning “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” with Zooey Deschanel’s Jovie in private, or even by getting hit by cabs on the streets of New York City. Even though it’s already nearly 20 years old, Elf sits firmly in the classic Christmas film canon.
