Jay 37,367 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Elf: The Deluxe Edition (CD) JOHN DEBNEY UPC: 888072404656 Regular price$ 19.98 Elf accomplished the impossible when it was released in 2003: it became an instant, modern-day Christmas classic. Will Ferrell starred as Buddy—one of his iconic roles—a human boy raised to believe he is one of Santa’s elves. When Buddy discovers his true identity, he ventures out to find his real father, played by James Caan, and in the process spreads Christmas cheer to a cynical world. Directed by Jon Favreau, the film was a massive box-office hit that led to a Broadway musical and stop-motion animated special. It was the first collaboration between Favreau and composer John Debney, which would later bring Zathura, Iron Man 2 and The Jungle Book. For Elf, Favreau asked Debney for a score that would be “timeless,” and Debney’s charming orchestral score channels Buddy’s innocent outlook as well as one of Favreau’s inspirations, the Rankin/Bass Christmas television specials. From Christmas whimsy, to light-hearted comedy and rousing symphonic action, Debney’s Elf music is a tuneful jewel. Elf was released by Varèse Sarabande at the time of the film. This Deluxe Edition features an expanded score program, as well as the alternate and edited tracks from the 2003 CD. Liner notes by Tim Greiving feature new interview material with Favreau, Debney and one of the film’s stars, Mary Steenburgen. Limited to 2000 copies Tracklist 1.

Edmilson 7,457 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Never heard this score, and Debney is usually hit or miss for me. Is it any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,692 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I've never heard it either, or seen the film. A few samples sounded typical 'happy' Christmas orchestral music; not my sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,651 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I’ll probably pick this one up if they throw it up cheaper on iTunes, but otherwise the OST is probably enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce marshall 1,315 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 The movie had one of the funniest scenes of all-time: When Peter Dinklage thought Ferrell was insulting him about his stature😅😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CS also does not include a Part 1 of this cue. 1m11 Buddy Learns Truth... is 2:45 where I guess this edited version is about 15 secs less.
