- 2 days ago
Christmas is bustling, festive and exciting for Santa, Mrs. Claus and all the Elves at the North Pole. Sherman, an aspiring apprentice Elf, tries his best to fit in but can't seem to do anything right! He's worked in nearly every department at the North Pole and has triggered a series of disasters everywhere he goes. Santa tries to bolster Sherman's self-esteem by entrusting him with the special task of guarding his Magic Toy Bag until Christmas Eve. When Sherman accidentally shrinks the bag by washing it, he fears there might not be a Christmas this year. Unless the accident-prone Elf can finally make things right!

01:30Cause Christmas Time is here
01:35Oh that's wonderful
01:37Very good
01:38Oh that's magnificent
01:41Beautiful job yes
01:43Oh that's marvelous
01:45What is that
01:47Oh sir
01:48This is a telephone
01:49I mean an elephant
01:50I mean
01:51I don't know what it is sir
01:54Sherman made it
01:55Oh yes
01:56Sherman
01:57Our new apprentice elf
01:59The one who made the wind up yo-yo
02:02Yes sir
02:03And the polka dot fire truck
02:04That goes mama
02:06When you squeeze it
02:07Don't forget the duck
02:08That barks
02:10And just where is our young apprentice now
02:13Well he was transferred to the mail room sir
02:15I don't think he could get into too much trouble there
02:29No no no
02:30I said file the letters
02:32Not pile the letters
02:34Sherman
02:35I don't think this is gonna work out
02:38Maybe you'd like it better in the gift wrapping department
02:41It's a very colorful job
02:43Oh I was there already
02:45And they sent me to the reindeer stables
02:48Who sent me to the workshop
02:49Who sent me here
02:51Oh yes
02:52Now I remember
02:54Oh please Nolan
02:56Please give me another chance
02:58I can do it
02:59I'd love to Sherman
03:01But Christmas is only two days away
03:04We don't have time for mistakes
03:06Oh please
03:08I want to become an official elf
03:10In the worst way
03:12Well that's exactly how you're doing it
03:18All right look
03:19I'll explain it again
03:21When the letters arrive for Santa
03:24We read them
03:25Right?
03:26Right!
03:27If Lisa wants a doll
03:29We put her letter in the file mark dolls
03:32If Robert wants a train
03:34His letter goes in the file mark trains
03:37Got that?
03:38Yes sir
03:39It's very easy
03:40Hey Nolan
03:41We haven't heard from Paul
03:43In New Haven, Connecticut yet
03:45Yeah
03:45I've been looking for his letter all week
03:48Who's Paul?
03:49Oh Paul's a boy with a very active imagination
03:53Every year he presents us with some major challenge
03:57But we always come through
03:58Right?
03:59Right!
04:00We can make anything for Santa's magic toy bag
04:03Gee
04:04The magic toy bag
04:07Do we get to fill it up?
04:09Oh no
04:10Santa personally puts all the toys in the bag
04:13We just put it on the sleigh for him
04:15Wow
04:16Do elves ever get to ride on Santa's sleigh?
04:20Well
04:21Sometimes
04:22Sometimes?
04:24Really?
04:25They didn't tell us that in elf school
04:27Sherbin
04:28There's a lot they didn't tell you about in elf school
04:32Yeah
04:32I kind of noticed
04:34Like they taught me how to make toys
04:37But I still feel that there's something missing in them
04:40What is it Nolan?
04:42You'll just have to learn it for yourself
04:45Like we all did
04:48Okay guys
04:49Break for lunch
04:50Everyone back in one hour
04:54All right Sherman
04:56When we get back
04:57We'll start all over
05:00Yes sir
05:00Thank you sir
05:08Oh hey kid
05:09This bunch of mail just came in
05:11Where do you want it?
05:13Huh?
05:13Well
05:13I don't know
05:14Here why don't you put it in here?
05:18Yeah okay sure
05:19There
05:20Have a nice day
05:22You too
05:22I think I'll go get some lunch
05:31Now I'm working in the mail room
05:33They didn't like my toys in the workshop
05:36I tried to make them special too
05:40I know there's something missing Danny
05:43But no one will tell me
05:45All they ever say is
05:47You'll learn
05:49Sherman
05:49They want you in the mail room
05:51You better get over there right away
05:53Thanks
05:55Another batch of mail must have arrived
05:58I better get going
05:59I'll see you at dinner
06:04You're welcome
06:08How could you throw away 500 letters?
06:12I was only gone 20 minutes
06:14Nolan, what's the problem?
06:17Sherman threw 500 letters into the trash
06:19A whole stack of mail
06:21Luckily the boys in the incinerator room caught it
06:24And just in time
06:26500?
06:28I'm sorry sir
06:29It was an accident
06:31Really
06:31Sherman
06:33Are you happy here?
06:35Oh yes sir
06:36I wouldn't want anything to ruin Christmas
06:38It's an honor to be here
06:40Hmm
06:41I think Sherman deserves another chance
06:44I'll transfer him to another department
06:47Not the ornament factory
06:48Please
06:49Not the ornament factory
06:51I already work there
06:53For five minutes
06:54No
06:56I think Sherman will go to the bakery
06:58And work with Mrs. Claus
07:00What kind of trouble could he get into there?
07:05Well Sherman
07:06I've certainly heard a lot about you
07:09Is it true that you've only been here two weeks
07:11And you've worked in every department?
07:14Well
07:14All except the candle factory
07:16They said they didn't carry enough fire insurance for me
07:20But
07:21I'll do my best here Mrs. Claus
07:23Making candies and cookies sounds like great fun
07:27Well it is Sherman dear
07:29And the best part of it
07:30Is that here
07:31You can eat your mistakes
07:33Well you wait
07:34You'll be so proud of me
07:36I'm going to be the best baker ever
07:44Oops
07:45Um
07:46I'm sure you'll be fine Sherman
07:48Let's get to work
07:50Alright
07:54You know
07:55Sherman didn't really mean to throw away those letters
07:58I know
07:59I know
08:00But imagine if we had left him alone longer
08:03We'd have to cancel Christmas
08:04Well
08:05He'll learn
08:06He's still young
08:07Besides
08:07What kind of trouble can he get into in the bakery?
08:11He's with Mrs. Claus
08:15Gee Mrs. Claus
08:16Baking candy canes is lots of fun
08:19Oh no Sherman
08:21You're supposed to bake the cookies
08:23Not the candy canes
08:24Oh
08:25Then I guess you won't be too crazy
08:28About my striped gingerbread men
08:30Huh
08:33Oh no
08:34I did it again
08:35I'm sorry Mrs. Claus
08:38I just wanted them to be special
08:40That's all
08:41Oh that's all right Sherman
08:43It was a nice try
08:45And how are you supposed to know
08:47That you don't bake candy canes
08:49Does that go for gumdrops too?
08:52You didn't
08:52They're done
08:54Uh look Sherman dear
08:56It's getting late
08:57Why don't you take the rest of the day off?
09:00We'll start again tomorrow
09:02Fresh and new
09:03Can I maybe stay and help you
09:04Clean up?
09:06No
09:06I mean
09:07No problem dear
09:09I can take care of it myself
09:11You go back to your bunkhouse
09:13And rest up for tomorrow
09:14Okay dear
09:16Okay
09:23Hey let me help you carry those
09:25No no no
09:26No come on
09:26Let me just take one of them from you
09:27No it's okay Sherman
09:28No no no
09:29All right
09:29Oh whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
09:46Another day
09:48Another department
09:49Oh it looks like I'm never going to become a full fledged certified elf
09:56This morning when I worked in the mail room
09:59I almost destroyed five hundred letters
10:02I almost ruined Christmas for some poor boys and girls
10:06And in the bakery
10:08I tried really hard to make the best cookies ever
10:12I wanted Mrs. Claus to tell Santa all about me
10:16Well
10:17I'm sure she will now
10:20I don't know what happens Danny
10:22I try
10:23I really try
10:25What am I missing?
10:35What can it be?
10:39What's wrong with me?
10:42Who can I turn to when I'm feeling low?
10:49It isn't fair
10:51The magic's not there
10:55What can I do that will help me
11:00Help me to know
11:03Will I ever be like the other elves?
11:11Or is it a secret
11:15That I'll never learn?
11:19I just can't win
11:22I don't fit in
11:25What is the magic of Christmas?
11:31Will I ever know?
11:37Well, I better start packing
11:40Mrs. Claus is probably telling Santa all about me right now
11:48And then, after he put the candy canes in the oven, he did the same with the gumdrops
11:54Oh, you should see them, dear
11:56They look more like gum drips
11:58Oh, this Sherman fellow sounds like quite a character
12:04Oh, did you hear about the mail room this morning?
12:06Oh, yes
12:07Word gets around fast here
12:10You know, dear
12:11I can't remember an apprentice ever making such an impression
12:15Oh, he's really a cute little fellow
12:17He tries so hard
12:19All he ever talks about is becoming an official elf
12:23It sounds so familiar
12:26Come in
12:29Hello, Grindel
12:30Hello, Mrs. Claus
12:31Are you busy, sir?
12:33Well, just making my list and checking it twice
12:37Well, sir, I won't take up too much of your time
12:40It's about Sherman
12:41Oh, somehow I knew that
12:44Well, it's this, sir
12:47We found another one of his toys in the workshop
12:52Oh, very, very interesting
12:56What is it?
12:57An electric kite, sir
12:59Comes complete with a two-mile extension cord
13:04Ingenious
13:04Oh, he tries very hard, sir
13:07And we all like him
13:08But frankly, I don't think he's cut out for this kind of work
13:13Oh, oh, oh, oh, Grindel
13:15Do you remember when you were an apprentice elf?
13:19I sure do
13:20That's why I hate to send him back
13:23He reminds me of me
13:24Oh, listen to this
13:27Dear Santa
13:29My name is Linda
13:31And my father lost his job
13:33I'm happy with everything I have
13:36But my mother won't be able to get the new winter coat she needs
13:41What color coat do you suggest?
13:43I'm partial to blue
13:44But, sir, about Sherman?
13:47Oh, blue it is!
13:48And see to it that Linda gets one of our new dollhouses
13:52Complete with furniture
13:54Let's see
13:55This letter came from Akron, Ohio
13:58Who do we have in that area?
14:01Barney
14:02Good man
14:03See what he could do about finding Linda's father a job
14:07I'll get right on it, sir
14:09You see, Grindel
14:11This makes the Sherman problem seem very minor, doesn't it?
14:16Yes, sir
14:16It does
14:17Oh, and by the way, Grindel
14:20The other day
14:21When I was going through my old toy chest
14:24Do you know what I came across?
14:27No, sir
14:27What?
14:28Oh, a purple teddy bear
14:31With three eyes
14:32Did you ever see one of those?
14:35It's one of the first toys I ever made
14:37Oh, oh, oh
14:38Yup
14:39And I still have it
14:40Wouldn't part with it for the world
14:43It's an original
14:44Why, thank you, sir
14:46Oh, oh, oh
14:47And, Grindel
14:48On your way back to the bunkhouse
14:49Tell Sherman I'd like to see him
14:52I think it's time we talked
14:54Yes, sir
14:59I don't know, Danny
15:00I just don't have that magic touch
15:03Whatever it is
15:04I probably never will
15:07Well, well
15:08There's no sense in me staying around here
15:10I'll only get in the way
15:12If I leave quietly
15:13It'll save Santa the trouble of asking me to leave
15:16He has enough on his mind
15:21Sherman
15:22Santa would like to see you in his den
15:25Yes, sir
15:26I kind of figured he would
15:29I'll be back to get you when I pick up my suitcase
15:38Oh, oh, hello there, Sherman
15:40I've been expecting you
15:42I'm very sorry for what happened, sir
15:45I hope Mrs. Claus isn't too mad at me
15:48Why, Sherman, how could I be mad at you?
15:51I didn't have a chance to talk to you after you left
15:54But I must confess, dear
15:56Those striped gingerbread men are rather delicious
15:59It was an accident, believe me
16:02I'll make it easy on you, sir
16:04You don't have to say it
16:05It was an honor to work for you
16:07I hope you have a very merry Christmas
16:10I'll go get my suitcase
16:12I'll be out of here in five minutes
16:14Sherman!
16:15You didn't let me finish
16:16You didn't even let me start
16:19I'm sorry
16:20You see?
16:21I never do anything right
16:23I have a problem
16:26You, sir?
16:28My problem is that with Christmas almost here
16:32And everyone so busy
16:34I'm short one elf
16:36To take care of my magic toy bag
16:40The magic toy bag?
16:43The one and only
16:45You see, every year
16:47On the night before Christmas Eve
16:49I take the magic toy bag out
16:52And give it to one of my elves for safekeeping
16:57Grindle sounds like the right choice
16:59I'd pick him
17:01Well, not this year
17:02This year, it'll be...
17:05You!
17:06Me?
17:07Why me?
17:08Well, why not?
17:10Well, because everything I've done so far has been wrong
17:14Thank you, sir
17:15But I couldn't run the risk of ruining Christmas
17:17If something happened to that bag
17:20I didn't hear what you said
17:22All I heard was
17:23Santa, thank you very much
17:25And I won't let you down
17:28I said that?
17:29Ho, ho!
17:31Words to that effect
17:32Santa, Santa, thank you very much
17:35And I promise
17:36Double, triple promise
17:37I won't let you down
17:39Ho, ho, ho!
17:40I never thought that you would
17:42Now, get some sleep
17:44And tomorrow
17:45We'll start the new job
17:47Thank you, sir
17:48Good night, Sherman
17:50Ho, ho, ho, ho!
18:15Gee, Danny
18:16Guarding Santa's magic toy bag
18:19Isn't very exciting
18:22It sure is beautiful, though
18:26Except for this tiny smudge mark on the side here
18:29Must have happened when he slid down the chimney
18:32I know
18:34I'll wash the bag for Santa
18:36It'll be sparkling clean for tonight
18:39It's the least I can do
18:42Well, we're coming down to the final hours, dear
18:45Looking over this toy list
18:47Everything seems to be in order
18:50What did Paul ask for this year?
18:52Well, as of an hour ago
18:54His letter still hadn't arrived
18:56I hope nothing happened to him
18:58Ho, ho, ho!
18:58No, we would have heard
19:00He probably just mailed late
19:02You know, that was a very nice thing you did last night
19:06Giving Sherman the magic toy bag
19:08Well, I'm sure I did the right thing
19:11What could he do to it?
19:17I can't wait to see Santa's face when I show him how I've cleaned his magic toy bag
19:22He'll probably let me take care of it every year from now on
19:26I can hear him now
19:28Sherman, I knew you wouldn't let me down
19:34Oh, no!
19:35Oh, no!
19:36It shrank!
19:37It shrank!
19:38How could I have done such a dumb thing?
19:40I should have had it dry cleaned
19:42Oh, no!
19:43I let Santa down
19:45He gave me a special job and I goofed it up
19:48Just like everything else I did
19:50Oh, what am I going to do?
19:52Danny!
19:53Danny!
19:53What am I going to do?
19:54Look it!
19:56Oh!
19:58Wait a minute, that's it
19:59I'll make another toy bag for Santa
20:02I can do it
20:03I have to do it
20:05Christmas depends on me
20:08Well, that about wraps it up
20:13Excuse me, excuse me
20:15Oh, no!
20:15They didn't transfer you back to this department, did they, Sherman?
20:19No, sir
20:20I just need to borrow some of your fancy ribbons if I can
20:24Oh, sure!
20:25Anything!
20:26Help yourself!
20:27Thanks!
20:31Hi, guys!
20:32I need to borrow one of the mail bags
20:34For what?
20:35It's a secret
20:40Well, all right
20:41Take your pick
20:42Just make sure it's empty
20:44Thanks
20:47Thanks a lot
20:48I need to borrow one of the mail bags
21:02I need to borrow one of the mail bags
21:03I need to borrow one of the mail bags
21:04I need to borrow one of the mail bags
21:06I need to borrow one of the mail bags
21:07I need to borrow one of the mail bags
21:07I need to borrow one of the mail bags
21:07I need to borrow one of the mail bags
21:08I need to borrow one of the mail bags
21:09I need to borrow one of the mail bags
21:27There. I finally finished it.
21:31What do you think of Santa's new magic toy bag, Danny?
21:38Oh, Danny, you're right.
21:41How could I forget?
21:43The bag has to be magic.
21:47Oh, no.
21:52And how are things moving along down here?
21:56Oh, excellent.
21:59Excellent, excellent, simply excellent.
22:02Every one of you should be very proud.
22:05We even have a couple of hours to spare.
22:08Why, thank you, sir.
22:10We get better every year.
22:12We even overcame a couple of obstacles.
22:16Yeah.
22:17Where is Sherman anyway?
22:19Ho, ho, ho. Guarding my magic toy bag.
22:22Gee, Santa, I can remember when you gave me that job.
22:25Well, everything is in order here.
22:28Let's get started.
22:30I have a long night ahead of me.
22:33Ho, ho, ho, ho.
22:35It's no use, Danny.
22:38I worked so hard to make this bag special, but it's not magical.
22:43How could it be if I made it?
22:46Oh, how can I tell Santa?
22:50Tell him what?
22:53Santa, what are you doing here?
22:55Ho, ho, ho.
22:57It's time to pack my magic toy bag and load the sleigh.
23:02I'm afraid I really ruined Christmas this time.
23:05Whatever are you talking about?
23:08I wanted you to be proud of me, so I scrubbed your magic toy bag so it would sparkle.
23:14And it shrunk.
23:16What?
23:18And is this my magic toy bag?
23:21Yes, sir.
23:22And I couldn't let you down, so I worked to make you a new one.
23:26I put everything I had into it.
23:29I wanted it to be extra special.
23:32Is this the bag that you made for me, Sherman?
23:36Yes, sir.
23:38Why, why, Sherman?
23:41It's, it's beautiful.
23:44It is?
23:45Come over here, Sherman.
23:48Remember the secret you kept asking about?
23:51The magic you felt was missing in everything that you made?
23:56Yes, sir.
23:57No one would tell me.
23:59Well, they couldn't tell you, Sherman, because it can't be explained.
24:04It's, it's more like a feeling that comes from inside.
24:09And that's the secret that was missing in everything I made?
24:13Oh, oh, everything except for this.
24:17Wow.
24:18You found the special magic when you worked to make this bag, because you believed it would
24:24work.
24:25You believed in the magic of Christmas.
24:29Wow.
24:30The bag really is magic.
24:33You put the magic into this bag, Sherman.
24:36Isn't that right?
24:42There's a magic within us you cannot deny.
24:47It can make all your wishes come true.
24:53You will find that it works when you honestly try to apply it to all that you do.
25:04I thought of the magic as something that's taught.
25:10I thought it would make me an elf.
25:15You found that true magic really begins when you believe in yourself.
25:28We knew you could do it.
25:32You finally learned the magic you had from the start.
25:40The spirit of Christmas can never be earned.
25:45It's something that comes from the heart.
25:51Santa, Santa, we have a minor problem, sir.
25:56Minor problem?
25:57What is it?
25:58We found it.
25:59Paul's letter.
26:00It just came in special delivery.
26:03We'll never have enough time, sir.
26:05Let me see that.
26:11Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
26:14What is it, sir?
26:15Our old friend Paul did it again.
26:18This year, he wants, of all things, an electric kite.
26:23I don't get it.
26:24No, but Paul will, and all because of Sherman.
26:28Grindle, go get the electric kite that Sherman made.
26:32It's in my toy chest, next to the purple teddy bear
26:36with three eyes.
26:37Yes, sir.
26:39Well, come on, everyone, time to go.
26:43And Sherman, I'll meet you on the sleigh.
26:46You mean?
26:47Welcome aboard, Sherman.
26:50Come on, everyone.
26:51Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
26:57Danny, Danny, did you hear that?
27:00I made it.
27:01I'm an official elf.
27:03I'm even going to ride on Santa's sleigh tonight.
27:06I can't believe it.
27:08I mean, I do.
27:10I do believe it.
27:12Well, take care, Danny.
27:15Oh, and Danny, what do you think?
27:17Danny, there's cookies in the drawer.
27:19I'll be back soon.
27:31So long, Danny, and Merry Christmas.
27:44Merry Christmas to all.
27:47Enjoy a good night.
27:52Merry Christmas to all.
