I think this is heading in the right direction. Does the protagonist believe that he is the last of his kind? If so, I think that's important.

I’d consider adding another factor – this girl is lost and she’s trying to find her way home too. If this girl appears in the first act of the film and is a big enough character to effectively provide the story for everything else that happens, then she’s going to be there for the duration so I think she needs to have a goal too. It’s a Buddy Love story.
Maybe (and I kinda like this idea) she spreads fear and he spreads joy. She displays the same characteristics as him but is actually a different species and this could say something about the world we live in today. This could be a nice midpoint or Act II climax reveal.
When he finds a lost girl who seems to be one of his species, a lonely elf who believed he was the last of his kind must find a way to get her home in the hope it will lead him to a family he lost centuries ago.?
They’re both looking for family and he has his own selfish motive intertwined with an altruistic one. I think the bit about him “spreading joy to others” is possibly unnecessary… it tells me a little about his character but I’m not sure it does anything to the plot.
What’s the ending? What’s the message?
Excited to see where this goes next.
See less?.
"A solitary traveller who magically spreads joy to others"... If you're referring to Santa Claus, say Santa Claus. If it's not Santa Claus... I'm wondering why it's not Santa Claus hahaha.

Why is the toy-making capitalist thwarting the protagonist’s quest to find his family? It seems like a very “evil for the sake of evil” motive. I can understand why a toymaking capitalist would want to dominate Christmas and take over from Santa – the 1985 Christmas classic, Santa Claus: the Movie is exactly that (if you haven’t seen it, watch it!), but that’s not what’s going on here… he’s trying to stop this guy finding his family?? Makes no sense. How does the antagonist even know that he’s looking for his family?
I would suggest putting this in the “Family” category. Sounds like a perfect family film to me.
