Description

John Debneys score for John Favreaus Christmas comedy Elf is, like the movie, a hyperstylized and witty celebration of all things Christmas. The largely orchestral score would fit seamlessly into shopping malls around that time of the year, particularly on tracks like Main Title and Papa Elf. Tchaikovskys Nutcracker Suite is a major influence on the tiptoeing Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies-like A Stroll With Buddy and Weird Wonderland. Humorous cues such as A Walk in the Park and Attack of the Little People owe quite a bit to classic cartoon music. The score is a funny and apt companion piece for any fans of the Elf film, of which there are many.
