Production
- Harry Connick Jr. has written the music score, which includes the title tune "The Happy Elf", along with two new songs, "Smile on Christmas Day" and "Bluesville". He sings the title tune, he also gives the look to and is the voice of the story's narrator Lil' Farley.
- The name Lil' Farley was inspired from a similarly titled song on Connick's album Star Turtle.
- Connick was also one of the executive producers, and bringing Eubie to life was a little tricky, "He looked a bit psychotic at first, so they made him cuter," Connick says. "It was a collaborative process, where the animators would communicate with me from what they learned in the script. We formed a triangle between me, the animators and the writer."
- Packaging on some DVDs includes multi colored blinking lights and a short soundclip of the song "The Happy Elf".
- Mickey Rooney voiced Santa in two classic Christmas shows: Santa Claus is Coming to Town, and The Year Without a Santa Claus.
- It was a free DVD in the Sunday Telegraph in 2008
