Another Fact: Because of all the similarities to Rudolph, the filmmakers were worried they might get sued by Rankin/Bass, thankfully they didn't.

[@FunFactFilms]

Ya, they took a big risk!

[@JRBowling1997]

Why would they get sued?

[@Thomas_H._Smith]

@@JRBowling1997 Because they borrowed a lot of the imagery from Rudolph without getting permission.

[@karenrussell2923]

I thought it was cute that Buddy and Jovie decided to name their daughter after Buddy’s biological mother.

[@blueraccoon1088]

He may not have not met her but I re-watched it and realized Walter has gone through the five stages of grief.

[@julianloht9651]

Merry Christmas to my favorite RUclipsr who knows all about movies like I do! By the way, my girlfriend and I legit watched It’s a Wonderful Life for the first time yesterday although I recognized certain footages of it from certain movies. Also, Elf is my girlfriend’s favorite Christmas movie.

[@FunFactFilms]

Merry Christmas Julian!

[@andyroid5028]

*THANK GOD Wanda Sykes was not in Elf! That would have been a sad tragedy. The movie is perfect as it is.*
PS: Great video, very informative. Thanks for sharing... and Merry Christmas 🌲!

I love your channel. You give off facts about movies and you teach me new things. I can't imagine all the research you have to do to make one of these videos. If i was on camera, i wouldn't hide my face.

[@FunFactFilms]

I'm glad you enjoy the videos. Merry Christmas!

[@gangstertopo]

The laugh in the jack in the box scene also sounds the same as Rippa Roo on Crash Bandicoot

[@normlor]

SEEING THIS GREAT CHRISTMAS FILM I THOUGHT THE BUDGET WAS MILLIONS. NOW KNOWING THE GROSS SALES OF THIS THRILLS ME EVEN MORE!!

[@mallfishcollectibles4461]

The Susie name could also be for the "Susie talks a lot" doll that the little girl wanted and that might have been stuck in buddy's head.

[@SevereStormFilmer]

Cumulonimbus makes thunderstorms my friend

[@JocelynElleCreati]

Am I the only one who though Leon and Sam were the same charcater this whole time? Also when i heard that the news reporters name was Charloette, all i could think about was Charloette from Genshin 🤣. And finally, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOODNIGHT ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

Merry Christmas and happy new year to all.👍🏻
Also interesting details.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@FunFactFilms]

Thanks Aris! Merry Christmas!

[@therealseanw.stewart2071]

That first one is kinda like a stock laugh, some folks also associate it with Ripper Roo from Crash Bandicoot.

[@noahsanchez21]

I knew I remembered that laugh from somewhere. One of my favorites growing up.

[@cuervo4202]

It's Dallas McKennon's voice from "Lady and the Tramp", Naughty Dog recycled the laugh for the Crash Bandicoot's games, I also recoginize it from CTR.

[@mariovaquero2409]

Same laugh from the hyenas in the lion king too

[@night0wl438]

Happy Holidays everyone and stay safe.

[@FunFactFilms]

Seasons greetings to you as well!

[@edwinvazquez4230]

[@blueraccoon1088]

Another fact walter had gone through the 5 stages of grief

[@kenlompart9905]

Maybe the guy in the yellow hat was wanted by the police, lol.
