Watch the first promo for ELF: BUDDY’S MUSICAL CHRISTMAS Starring Jim Parsons

On December 16th @ 8 pm ET/PT, NBC will premier a brand-new animated adaptation of the popular Elf live-action film and Broadway show entitled Elf: Buddy’s Musical Christmas. The Big Bang Theory’s Jim Parsons plays the titular role, and the network has released THIS synopsis that features a rather STACKED cast along with a full promo that you can watch below:

‘”Elf: Buddy’s Musical Christmas” combines the humor and spirit of both the beloved 2003 holiday film, which drew glowing reviews and earned $173 million at the domestic box office, and the hit Broadway production. The special is an all-new retelling of Buddy’s delightfully absurd yet heartwarming story and blends the look and feel of the stop-motion animated Christmas specials of the past with the sharp sensibility of the modern-day classic holiday film. Santa narrates the story of Buddy’s travels to New York City to meet the father he never knew he had. Along the way his unrelenting cheer transforms the lives of everyone he meets and opens his father’s eyes to the magic of Christmas. THE VOICE cast also includes Mark Hamill, Ed Asner, Fred Armisen, Jay Leno, Matt Lauer, Gilbert Gottfried, Kate Micucci, Rachael MacFarlane, Max Charles and Steve Higgins.”
