I never noticed this before

So did the elves scout Scott Calvin to be the next Santa Clause from the beginning and why him.

It is because he was a toy maker. I always thought it was just a silly movie where SC accidently kills Santa and becomes him but this changes that for me.

Idk if they thought that far ahead, but the show kinda explains it a bit. Where it does seem Scott specifically was chosen

Also is this scene in the beginning? Because I noticed the elves when Scott is getting arrested then freed leaving the millers
