With the halfway mark to Christmas just around the corner, fans are looking to stream this film on Disney’s subscription service, Disney+. Unfortunately, the movie has not yet been added to the platform’s streaming library.
Is ‘Elf’ a Disney movie?
This movie, released in 2003, is technically produced by Guy Walks Into a Bar Productions and distributed by New Line Cinema, according to Warner Bros. Fandom. However, the movie oftentimes appears on the Disney-owned television network, Freeform, during the holiday season.
