One of the most charming things about Buddy is his whimsical way of seeing the world. But life isn't always so easy for Buddy in the North Pole. He's hopeless at making toys, calling himself a “cotton-headed ninny-muggins,” much to the shock of the other elves in Santa's Workshop.
When Buddy overhears that he is a human, Papa Elf explains that Buddy was born to Walter Hobbs and Susan Wells, and given up for adoption. Susan subsequently died and Walter, who now works for a children's book publisher at the Empire State Building in New York City, is unaware of Buddy's existence.
Born December 18th, Buddy was adopted by elves and Santa Claus as a baby, so he never got to discover how exactly to be human. He developed certain skills like quickly decorating a large space, creating toys in short amounts of time and generally being a good person.
The magic elves at Santa's workshop discover the orphan and instantly take a liking to him, naming him “Buddy” based on the label of his diaper. Papa Elf—played by veteran comedic actor, Bob Newhart—adopts Buddy and immerses him in the magical life and culture of the elves and Santa Clause.

Summary. Elf could have been a very different movie if Jim Carrey had been cast as Buddy the Elf instead of Will Ferrell, as Carrey's comedic style is more over-the-top and bombastic.
Elf was a hilarious movie about a guy named Buddy (Will Ferrel), who was raised by elves at the North Pole. He then discovers he isn't an elf, and travels to New York city to find his real father (James Caan). It turns out his that Buddy has a stepbrother and a stepmother (Mary Steenburghen).
New York is a city in New York state. It is the main setting for Elf. New York City, in Elf, is set in 2003, 2 years after 9/11 at the World Trade Center. Buddy the elf goes there to find his father, Walter Hobbs, who is working at the Empire State Building.
This, of course, underpins the entire premise of the movie – the fact that Buddy isn't actually an elf. Raised by Papa Elf after crawling into Santa's sack as a baby in an orphanage, Buddy grows up to be very different from the rest of Santa's little helpers.
