Beloved holiday movie classic Elf brought back cast members Will Ferrell, Zooey Deschanel, Ed Asner, Bob Newhart, Andy Richter, Amy Sedaris and Mary Steenburgen for a reunion - a Democratic fundraiser on Sunday night.
John Lithgow, Wanda Sykes, Ed Helms and other stars joined, playing various roles during a live Elf virtual script table-read. By the end, the reunion surpassed its goal of raising more than $400,000 for the Democratic Party of Georgia.
The event was a lively, virtual reunion that was capped off with a group version of Jingle Bells.
However, the famed ending for the 2003 comedy, directed by and starring Jon Favreau, featured Deschanel s Jovie starting a rousing version of Santa Claus Is Comin To Town as Buddy the Elf (Ferrell) arrives with Santa Claus (Asner) on his sleigh before a suddenly-believing crowd of New Yorkers.
