Join us at the Paramount Theatre for an experience to remember!
This holiday season, the Paramount Theatre invites the community to celebrate in a way that’s fun, festive, and meaningful with Holiday Movies at the Paramount presented by David Maier and Matthew McGrane. A portion of the ticket proceeds will benefit Cedar Rapids Animal Care & Control.

Pre-Show activities include: Meet Buddy the Elf, kids crafts, interact with CR Animal Care & Control.

elf: Buddy was a baby in an orphanage who stowed away in Santa's sack and ended up at the North Pole. Later, as an adult who happened to be raised by elves, Santa allows him to go to New York City to find his birth father, Walter Hobbs. He, who is on Santa's naughty list for being a heartless jerk, had no idea that Buddy was even born. Buddy, meanwhile, experiences the delights of New York City (and human culture) as only an elf can. When Walter's relationship with him interferes with his job, he is forced to reevaluate his priorities.

Movie duration: 1 hr. 37 min.
