Brief Synopsis:
Raised as an oversized elf, Buddy travels from the North Pole to New York City to meet his biological father, who doesn't know he exists and is in desperate need of some Christmas spirit.

Buddy's Big and Tall Edition reintegrates 8 deleted scenes and reshuffles the first act to how it was originally scripted and shot. 7 minutes of all new footage including extended, alternate and deleted scenes are all back into the holiday classic!
Intention:
Watching the deleted scenes, I saw that there was a differently structured first act, with how the reveal of Buddy realising he's a human and not an elf. I prefer it going this way as I feel like it flows far more naturally now. Plus I loved the fun little hockey game too, as well as the other deleted bits and pieces.
