About An Elf's Story
The inspirational tale of Chippey, the young scout elf who is assigned by Santa to restore Taylor McTuttle's belief in Christmas magic. When the boy breaks the number one Elf on the Shelf rule, Chippey loses his Christmas magic; the entire McTuttle family loses is scout elf, and both Taylor and Chippey lose their self-respect. Through the power of love and forgiveness, both of them learn the most important lesson of all: that true belief cannot be taught.
Directed by Chad Eikhoff, An Elf's Story leans on a strong ensemble — Leslie Bellair, Brendan Dooling, Evie Eikhoff — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about family titles of 2011.
