Elbo Elf ReviewI, Joe Burke, am the principal author of Elbo Elf. The idea behind this story was a simple one. I was aware that Rudolph, The Red Nosed Reindeer had (at that time) 167 products licensed as well as the original song and thus that author made tons of money. My idea was to replicate that success by doing a musical Christmas movie with EIGHT songs (hopefully making 8 times the Rudolph loot). I got a musical partner, Ralph Romano. I created the character and the plot. I wrote the words and music to three of the eight songs. I wrote the lyrics to seven of the eight songs. Ralph wrote the music to four songs and both words and music to one song. I wrote the movie script. We could not find enough money to make a movie, so I rewrote the script for sound (an LP record at the time). Ralph functioned as a producer and assembled a team to make the recording of Elbo Elf.
Pete DeAngelis (formerly director of ABC network) arranged and conducted a full orchestra. Artist Chic Laganella designed the album cover from my sketches. I directed Souply Sales as the story's narrator and we had New York actors and singers as well as a sound effects expert to complete the ensemble. We recorded at Bell Sound in New York.
Although we successfuly completed the Christmas album titled "Elbo Elf," we soon discovered that we could not get record distribution unless we gave most of the earnings to some recording company, At that point we we stymied.
Years later, someone from The Henson Company (Muppets) heard the recording and optioned it for a movie. The Hensons paid for the option for three years and then dropped it. I am told that, instead of using the original story and songs, the Henson writers wrote a whole new story for the character. There is little-to-no value in Elbo Elf unless the original concept, characters, and songs are intact.
Ralph and I hold the copyright but we allowed Ralph's brother, Tom, to publish the "book" now advertised on Amazon. All the book does is print excerpts from my audio script. The book redefined the "look" of Elbo Elf because Tom got less expensive illustrations, etc, by using a Hong Kong publisher. Our original album cover appears on Amazon's "hardcover" advertisement of Elbo Elf.
My Elbo Elf is still worth billions if made into a movie BECAUSE (1)it is a solid piece of work which needs only a little update, (2) it will "play" for 50 years every Christmas just like Rudolph has, (3) it is about Christmas, brotherhood, Santa, etc, AND it is very entertaining for children of all ages.Elbo Elf OverviewThe book is a beautiful story about one of Santa's elves, who has four arms.Elbo is uncoordinated and messes up everything he tries so hard to do.Thru prayer and an attitude of never giving up he becomes "The Package Master Of Christmas".The book has an enclosed CD which children can follow and sing along with, eight new Christmas songsThis heartwarming story is for all children from 3-93.
