Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Connections:
Both were born normal humans, but after an accident on Christmas night involving Santa, they end up at the North Pole and are recruited to work there (Buddy as an elf and Scott as the new Santa Claus). Their movie’s stories heavily contrast though. Elf is about a kind man from the North Pole going to the human world and teaching others the Christmas spirit, while The Santa Clause is about a cynical man from the human world who has to move to the North Pole and learn the Christmas spirit himself. Both at first have a very rocky relationship with their family members who are confused by the festive energy around them, but overtime they grow very close together. They contrast again though in that Buddy has a dad who works too much and doesn’t appreciate family, while Scott is the dad who works too much and doesn’t appreciate family. Both fall in love with a blonde woman who moves back to the North Pole with them and has a baby. And of course both end up saving Christmas and are played by beloved comedic actors. Bonus connection: Scott’s second son’s name is Buddy.
