Will Ferrell Reflects On ‘Elf’ Legacy: “I’m So Lucky To Have A Movie Like That In My Catalog”


Will Ferrell recently reflected on the holiday classic 'Elf' 20 years after its release, expressing gratitude for the film's enduring legacy.

The Elf star recently reflected on the enduring legacy of his holiday classic more than 20 years after its release in November 2003, saying he felt grateful that the Jon Favreau-directed comedy has cemented itself as a bonafide Christmas rewatch staple. “You never really have an idea of what’s going to land with people, and I love the fact that this movie continues to resonate in a way that’s pretty incredible.” (To borrow a line from Elf, it’s about believing not seeing!) The lighthearted and ever-quotable film also stars Zooey Deschanel as Elf’s love interest, along with Ed Asner, Mary Steenburgen and Bob Newhart, featuring a cameo by Favreau.
