Elf (2003)

On Christmas Eve, an orphaned baby crawls into Santa Claus's sack at the sight of a teddy bear, and is unknowingly taken back to the North Pole from an orphanage. After the infant is discovered at the workshop, the elves name him Buddy after his diaper's brand label.

Buddy is accepted by the elf community and grows up to adulthood thinking he is an elf, but soon overhears he is a human. Papa Elf explains to him that he was born to Walter Hobbs and Susan Wells. She died shortly after giving him away for adoption without ever having told Walter about the pregnancy. Walter now is a children's book publisher at the Empire State Building in NYC. Santa reveals that Walter is on the Naughty List due to his selfishness, but suggests Buddy could help redeem him with some Christmas spirit.
