Watch Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny For Free

I love this movie so much

As Good As It Gets

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The acting in this movie is really good.

This is pretty much the "Inception" of God Awful cinema. We have an unknown narrator telling us the story of Santa Claus being stuck on a beach in Florida, who, in turn, tells a group of children a random story about Thumbelina, which is from the viewpoint of ANOTHER narrator, who happens to also play an aging female mole. Confused yet? This movie has a total of three different storytellers, yet it still manages to make absolutely no sense whatsoever. Probably because, from what I can tell, the Santa film and Thumbelina were made at separate times as promotional films for a now long forgotten theme park in Florida. So what we get is a hodgepodge of absolute nonsense involving randy moles, various farm animals being attached to Santa's sleigh,and hippies popping out of flowers. And what about that Ice Cream Bunny? Oh yeah! What we get is a very disturbing man in a filthy rabbit costume riding around in an antique Fire Truck loaded with helpless children with the doomsday alarm blaring out of some unseen loudspeaker. All the while, the rabbit's face remains emotionless and blank, lost in his own sickening thoughts which probably involve children and the dozens of melting ice cream bars he has packed inside various parts of his trousers. (Hey, they said he was an ice cream bunny, and I don't see any ice cream anywhere else, so I'll assume it's inside the costume). Anyway, the bunny comes to Santa's rescue. Some garbled, incoherent dialog seep past his most likely slavering lips, picks up Santa, and leaves the children and the sleigh in the middle of nowhere. I swear, just the sight of the bunny driving the truck through the park nearly made my skin crawl. I just wouldn't give it the satisfaction. So there you have it. . Try eating pizza and watching this movie right before bed. I guarantee the nightmares you have will make more sense than this sorry excuse for cinema.

Just say the title, Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny. I read that this movie was bad but a movie this bad I didn't even think was possible. It is quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. The sound quality sucked, the music was plain terrible, and everything about it sucked. The movie starts with an establishing shot of the North Pole, which is about seven reindeer in a very grassy field with no snow present. The plot is that Santa is stuck in an inch or two of sand in Florida. He calls upon a bunch of small children by singing a song, just one of the many terrible musical numbers in this movie. The kids and Santa try everything to get Santa out of the sand but nothing works. They bring a horse, a pig, a donkey, and a gorilla(?) to try and lift Santa's sleigh out of the sand but nothing works. To cheer the kids up Santa begins to tell the story of Thumbelina. Before I move onto Thumbelina I have to state that the entire movie-inside-a-movie contains 100% archive footage. The footage is taken directly from another movie filmed at Pirate's World, the same place where this atrocity was filmed, and was made two years prior to 'The Ice Cream Bunny' back in 1970. Thumbelina is probably the worst part of the entire movie. Thumbelina lasts longer than the actual movie itself for you have to sit through another movie entirely and still ache in the agony being produced by simply staring at your screen. Thumbelina tells the story of a little girl, literally, she's only two inches tall (George Little meet your grandmother). Thumbelina's mother obtains her through a magical seed that sprouts a plant that she crawls out of, so now there is a two inch tall girl living in a normal house. She gets abducted by two frogs from her home with a regular sized mother. She escapes the frogs and gets forced into marrying a mole named Mr. Digger. All throughout this movie there are horrible musical numbers that last for minutes on end. The music she sings to overpowers her voice so even if the songs were good it wouldn't matter because all you hear is repetitive music all throughout the movie. The acting is another thing. The acting in this movie is TERRIBLE. I put "terrible" in caps because I want to emphasize how bad it is. It's like they're talking but...they...pause... between every word they say. Even then the music still manages to overpower the actors voices'. It's hard to completely explain how bad this movie is I just can't do it. Think of it as making Ed Wood or Uwe Boll look like Alfred Hitchcock or Stanley Kubrick.Enough of Thumbelina now and more Santa! The "main" story doesn't make up for the amount of time (and brain cells) lost during the Thumbelina because it's just as bad anyway. Bad acting, bad singing, bad music, bad camera-work, bad story, and bad editing are just some of the very many factors that make this movie so bad. If you hadn't noticed I haven't said anything positive yet. Now normally I find something good to say about the movie, but I can't find it one this time.

Oh I've seen a lot of bad movies before this: Monster a Go-Go, Manos, Leonard part 6, even Ben and Arthur. But all those movies had effort put into them to make them bad, a combination of the ropey script, non-existent acting, stupid plots and all-round awfulness. Santa and the Ice-cream Bunny is worse them all of them. And it does this with almost no effort at all. I'd even go as far as saying that if I were to write down all the mistakes in this movie while watching it, the movie would end before I would.Take the basic plot, a short narration that Santa's sleigh is stuck on the beach because his reindeer have left, and a single frame from the movie to illustrate this (eer, a scene of the sleigh on a beach and very little else). Straight away there are unanswered questions:-Why is Santa's sleigh so small? There is no space for any presents. - or the reindeer. -How did the reindeer escape? -What is Santa doing on the beach in the first place? -How did it get trapped? -How can such a tiny amount of sand trap his sleigh? Simply farting on it would blow it away. -Even if/when he does dig it out, how can he get home without any reindeer?All that, dear reader, from mere seconds of the movie. Now just imagine that for the entire duration. That's why I think it's a work of art; I can't think of anything ever that provokes so much thought in the viewer. Submit this movie to the Turner Prize and the judges' heads will explode.This movie hit rock-bottom so fast it left a crater at the bottom of the scale. Watch it, and wake up the next day reassured that no other movie can be this bad.

Barry Mahon must not have put enough money aside to make this movie cause the story of Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny is a lot shorter than it seems. It starts with the elves discovering that the reindeer are back at the north pole with out Santa or his sleigh. Santa is struck in Florida where his sleigh is suck in the sand and calls out to some local kids to help him out. So that way he can fulfill his duties in delivering presents.The story is rather odd for an independent film, plus it's unorganized story makes the 1959 Santa Claus film look like a classic. Cause there's no logic in this film at all. Like how the Sleigh doesn't look that heavy to get out of the sand which it just look like it's only a few inches in the sand. Plus Santa doesn't even do much in this film other than sitting in his sleigh all day as if he fears someone would vandalize it. And complaining that it's hot. The kids who try to help him out are like not resourceful. It makes getting a sleigh to move look like a job for the army.The thing that made this movie bad is when Santa tells the story of Thumbelina which has no relation to Christmas or the movie itself. In fact once he starts telling the story we immediately see Barry Mahon's Thumbelina entire movie within this one. Yes I'm serious they waisted three fourths of this movie with inserting a movie that was already made two years before! The Ice Cream Bunny's appearance and role ended up being poorly portray and the cameos of Huck & Tom made no since at all. Thus making this whole movie a complete joke rather than a holiday classic.I won't give any parts of this movie that would ruin it for those who are interested in seeing how bad it is. Believe me it's worse than "Santa Claus conquers the Martians" & "1959 Santa Claus" cause those two actually had direction. For this one it seems Barry Mahon couldn't make the story of Ice Cream Bunny and Santa Claus a long one when he decided to paste Thumbelina in the middle of the whole movie. Plus it was like a further attempt to promote Pirates World which appear briefly in the film. Which unfortunate for them the park was shut down by 1975 making this the last film appearance of the now phantom theme park. If you're looking for a movie worse than the 1959 Santa Claus, then this is it.Copies of this film are rare, so you're best chances of ever watching it would be the Rifftrax version which makes the film funnier than it already is. That's currently the only way to actually watch it if you can spare $9.99 to download it.
