The Happy Elf.

 

                                             The Happy Elf.

I like this one cause Eubie is always happy and trying to make the world 

happy and yes he gets in hot water trying to do the right thing but his 

heart will always be thinking of others, something our country needs 

right now, if you want to watch  a heartwarming tail filled with laughter 

an lots of humor you need to see this movie. So, with that, lets get to the 

story shall we:

Eubie the Elf  loves working in Santa Claus' workshop up at the North 

Pole, despite the other elves' complaints about being annoyed by his 

overly happy personality. One Christmas Eve morning, Eubie's boss, 

Norbert, assigns him to checking the naughty and nice lists. However, 

while checking the lists, Eubie discovers that every child in the town of 

Bluesville is naughty. So, he decides to go to Bluesville and spread 

Christmas cheer.

Bluesville is a dark miserable town at the bottom of a very deep valley, 

completely surrounded by tall dark cliffs. There, the townspeople feel the 

warmth of the sun only once a day. They never smile, they don't know 

how to tell a joke properly, most of them work at the What Factory, 

where all the world's question marks are made, and at the Bluesville 

school, recess only lasts one minute. Eubie tries to brighten everyone's 

spirits, but his overly good mood frightens them.

Eubie talks to the mayor about what is wrong with Bluesville and if 

there's anything about Bluesville that makes him feel proud. The mayor 

replies that Bluesville is the world's largest manufacturer of un-burnable 

coal, which children enjoy throwing at people and at each other. The 

mayor then makes a deal with Eubie. If he can find another use for the 

coal, he'll put a Christmas tree up in the town square.

Eubie's first plan on getting the kids to help him make Bluesville a 

happier place is having them gather on a busy street and start a pie 

fight, but that only makes all the people angry. To search for more help, 

Molly , a naughty 10-year-old girl, takes Eubie to downtown Bluesville, 

the most miserable part of Bluesville, for a meeting of a group called 

S.L.O.B. Smile League Of Bluesville, which only has one member of its 

group. While there, Molly and Eubie meets up with Curtis , who is there 

because he brought along his foreign friend, Oreg, who doesn't speak 

English, but is happy to be there. Molly soon decides that Eubie's plans 

are hopeless, and tells him to just take all his big ideas home. At the 

mention of that, Eubie gets another idea, and is about to implement it 

when the lights in the room go off and Eubie is taken back to the North 

Pole.

In his bid to get Bluesville off the naughty list, Eubie violated several 

rules in one day. As punishment, Santa had Eubie turn in his magic hat, 

which, at the North Pole, meant his Christmas happiness and powers 

were taken away. When Gilda  hears this, she motivates Eubie to go back 

to Bluesville to finish his job and gives him her hat to restore his powers 

and happiness. He then returns to Bluesville and explains his plan to the 

children. That night, they give the mayor of Bluesville a bottle of anti-

snore medicine in his sleep, while Eubie spends the night polishing all 

the cliffs surrounding Bluesville with a jar of super-duper un-burnable 

coal polish. While he is doing this, Derek notices Gilda doesn't have her 

hat on, he soon figures out what is going on and, trying to follow the 

North Pole rules, he notifies one of the higher-ups.

After polishing the cliffs, Eubie is taken back to the North Pole again 

where he and Gilda are put on punishment and are sentenced to clean up 

the toy factory, with both their hats taken away. Derek, now alone at the 

Christmas party, is sad and mad with himself for betraying his friends, 

and confesses to what he did to Eubie and Gilda. They forgive him, but it 

only makes him feel worse about himself, considering what he did to 

them. While wondering what he can do to make it up to them, they have 

him do the one thing Eubie intended to do to finish making Bluesville a 

happier place.

When the sun shines over Bluesville again, it reflects off the polished 

coal, lighting up the town and making everyone happy. At the What 

Factory, the machine now makes different colored exclamation points of 

all shapes and sizes, delighting the workers. At the school, when recess 

starts, the bell has an elf's shoe placed over it, which means the kids can 

play longer. Molly comes out of the school where Derek meets her. He 

tells her to find the mayor and give her the jar of coal polish Eubie used 

to polish the cliffs, and a piece of coal that was squeezed into a diamond 

and to tell her that Eubie was sorry he couldn't be there. Molly happily 

goes to find the mayor, but stays for a while to allow Curtis to tell a joke 

that's actually funny, thanks to the joke book Derek gave him. Molly 

finds the mayor and shows him the items, which meant that there was 

indeed another use for the coal. He then puts up a Christmas tree in the 

town square and everybody celebrates, thanks to Eubie.

That Christmas, Santa decides to make Eubie, Gilda, and Derek his sleigh 

crew that year for bringing joy to Bluesville, which has soon changed its 

name to Joyville.
