Santa was stranded approximately 3 miles from an amusement park , but chose to sit in his sleigh for several days and wait for children and an abomination to save him.
Well... If you are looking at what is trending now - this is was Sasquatch coming to help and yet again no-one managed to capture a good decent clear shot. Two cryptids in one shot, including this predatory Santa.
Pirates World was closed about a year after this movie came out, and the ground where it stood is now a residential area. I'd like to think that the Ice Cream Bunny haunts those suburbs like Candyman haunting Cabrini-Green.
Pirates World was an Action Park waiting to happen. That steeplechase ride in particular, I could just picture it being featured on the Fascinating Horror TH-cam channel.
i'm watching this while making costumes for my community theater's christmas pageant, and suddenly feeling much prouder of the quality of our production.
At least the Star Wars Holiday Special had the backing of a well known broadcasting company while this little number looked like it was made on a budget of a ham sandwich.
That is correct. I just finished my 2nd watch. The first, was a year ago, so I forgot to have tissue near by and was wearing my glasses! I started crying, every time it cut to the Bunny and that Laugh! It got to the point where I had to press pause because my eyes were burning!! Epic funny! Cheers from Canada
Hmm yes I see, Christmas is a time when overdressed sweaty men attempt to be pulled by various animals while on a tropical beach, and then tell long stories and get rescued by horrifying rabbit creatures driving dilapidated antique cars.. of course! honestly the Halloweentown folk would have done a much better job adapting that.
8:36 a scene in which Tom and Huck join a group of 1970s kids run toward Santa Claus accompanied by a kazoo orchestra rendition of "Old Man River." Just... amazing.
something about Bill Corbett going "EHHEHEHUHHUHEHEHHHEHUHHEUHUH" over the shots of the ice cream bunny just nodding his head for extended periods of time absolutely *kills* me. ...Maybe my brain was fully melted by this purgatory of a movie as well
i noticed how early in the movie Santa says he can't just take a plane back home because his sleigh would still be left on the beach, but then at the ending he takes the Ice Cream Bunny's ride home and his sleigh just teleports back
I saw this in the theater at the age of 3 with my dad. Even at that tender age I felt uncomfortable and mildly repulsed at this insane spectacle. I wouldn't feel that way again until we watched the Star Wars Holiday Special on TV some 6 yrs later...
I'm jealous. I know I saw movies in a theater when I was three, but I can't really remember any real details about the experience. For you to remember this was in a theater is a gift in itself.
@@cornbredx I remember seeing Flintstones in a movie theater when I was 4 or 5. I spent the entire movie running up and down the aisles and playing in the curtains and rolling on the floor. It was a blast. I think my parents were pretending they didn't know me.
At one point it was a story about Santa telling a story about an amusement park speaker telling a story about Thumbelina telling a story about a bird. It's the "Inception" of Ice Cream Bunny movies.
The voice of the mole women sounded like the crazy lady narrating Balloon Land! There were no credits issued for balloon land so it's still a possibility. Anybody out there with info to share, it would be greatly appreciated. :) Cheers from Canada
Dearest Robo San, The Ice Cream Bunny's laugh is something I never want to hear again. I would rather chew tin foil yet, I gotta say this. I just can't take the mocking of anything in 🎄 "A Christmas Story" ☃️ My sanity is so "fra gee lee" from watching this movie. I'm scared I'll shoot my eye out! 👁❌
This film was so disturbing on so many levels. Without the awesome riffs the experience would have been unbearable. They're doing the Lord's work those three.
Oh nice. The Thumbelina version. The fun thing about this movie was when they (meaning Rifftrax) unearthed and remastered a completely different version of this film that featured a nightmare about Jack and The Beanstalk instead. So you could watch it twice and be horrified by two different bad local theater productions of classic children's stories. Although, I would argue of the two this is the "better" one.
Saw this as a Rifftrax Live with my friends well over five years ago. My Muslim friend who loved Christmas movies questioned my movie tastes after that.
Why is Santa so eager to get back to the North Pole? I'd think he'd be having the time of his life away from Stinky the Skunk and it's soul-crushing annoyances.
It's a Christmas miracle!! And glad it's the one with Thumbelina in it, the Jack and the Beanstalk version doesn't have that same "WTF IS GOING ON" vibe.
They're both magnificent fodder, but this one has an unintentional horror quality to it that is rare to accidentally create. This one also features stories within stories within stories so some have argued it was the predecessor to Inception.
It's true, Jack and the Beanstalk really has that smell of MILD competence all over it. Really holds it back in the "unfathomable confusion" department.
That much, was obvious! Santa and Nolan work together all the time, but he prefers a pseudonym. That way no one knows he's the same guy who directed The Batman Trilogy.
Pirates World.. lost death trap theme park from my neck of the woods, SE Florida. Artists like Led Zepplin, Black Sabbath, and David Bowie played there back in the day. Not old enough to experience it but my aunt said it was a blast.
I can't wait to share this with my friend. I gleefully introduced him to "Fun in Balloonland" and "Wonderful Land of Oz" over Thanksgiving, and since he's still talking to me, I might as well convince him to finish this trilogy of terror
@@HungryForTastyFoodAndComicArt what's funny about that one is that it's one of the more accurate book to screen adaptations. Although they did give Pumpkinhead seasonal affective disorder for some reason (but when your head has a very short shelf life, who can blame him?)
@@CinnamonGrrlErin1 I'm all for the accuracy, and in fact would love a lavish budget version ala "The Wiz" from the 70's (the stage version which I was lucky enough to see, not the film). In fact I'd prefer it to the Garland version. My aggravation with "Wonderful Land of Oz" is not with the content, but the execution, especially the often-incompetent audio-work. And the lad, whom seems to have snuck into his mum's hidden stash of valium.
@@HungryForTastyFoodAndComicArt well it's not the kid's fault that he was cast out of nepotism lol. I definitely agree about the bad audio though, and Glinda's singing can crack glass. Honestly, it kind of reminds me of the silent film Oz movies a little bit, which would be equally nightmarish if they were in full color
Seriously, imagine walking up to this sub-jr. high diorama and having that tinny speaker just lecture the entire story of Thumbelina for ~25 minutes. Now try to imagine how Pirate's World remained open for ANY amount of time.
Mrs. Mole might be my favorite character in the movie though, and that's saying something because Sweaty Santa and the creepy bunny are some tough competition.
I will always wonder about the Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn cameos at the beginning. Kevin's question about what they're doing there will remain unanswered.
It's Christmas Time in Florida. The kids are gathered 'round. For Santa's sleigh is stuck here on the beach. His reindeer have abandoned him, his pants are stained and brown. And it seems as if a Merry Christmas, might be out of reach. But suddenly a siren starts to wail, and you'll never guess who's coming down the trail. Or will you... Well, here comes the Ice Cream Bunny. "HURR! HURR! HURR!" Christmas Time will be so sunny. "HURR! HURRHURR! HURR!" For he'll get Santa on his way, help him move his stupid sleigh, and the only thing he'll ever say is, "HURR! HURR! HURR!" Everybody now!
I have to wonder how many of the kids in this movie remember being in it, and how many more question if this memory wasn't just a figment of their imagination. Kudos to Rifftrax for this Christmas gift!
Didn't think anything would top the creepiness of the laughing mechanical reindeer from Santa Cluas The (Mexican) Movie, but Bill Corbett voicing the Ice Cream Bunny has certainly done it!🤣
Only 10 minutes in, and I already have tears in my eyes. 6:43: “please don’t interrupt our violent homoerotic play, Santa.” 8:42: “dinner’s getting away, whack it with an oar” 9:33: “glad you made it…and, kid!” I thought this had to be one of those weird educational videos from *insert 20th century decade here*…but it’s an hour and a half long. This was an actual film??! I feel like I’m being punked. And that’s coming from someone who watched the Star Wars Holiday Special last night.
Wow. How did this not win an Oscar for sound design and engineering? I felt like I was right there on the beach with Santa. And I now have recurring nightmares about it.
After catching a few scenes in different episodes of Glee while my wife binge watched it, I must agree - I would prefer to freeze in the horrible Chicago cold than actually sit down and watch that nonsense 💯😂
You know, after watching bad movies with these guys for years, you think you're numb to it. Then a movie like this comes along and reduces me to a cackling mess questioning the meaning of existence.
Just remember: all the kids who were in this are probably still alive today. "Grandma, were you in a movie once?" "I wouldn't have called it a movie." "Can I see it?" "No."
This movie certainly sealed the fate of Pirates World. What crap! Idk how Kevin, Mike and Bill do it. But I am extremely grateful that they do. So funny 😂
I love how in my recommended videos is this movie on the 'TH-cam Movies" channel with a bright "Buy or Rent" underneath it. I really needed a good laugh today.
They tried to pull the sled with a guerrilla before they tried with a donkey. Then they tried with a pig. The folks that made this film are seriously out there.
Well, after thinking harder throughout the night, I came to the reasonable conclusion the ICBunny may in actuality be the Infamous Bunny Man, from the Bunny Man Bridge Incident of 1970. That's what the Dog was likely trying to say to us. And it is Possible - the actual Bunny Man was never caught, and this movie was filmed in 1972, two years after the first sightings. Also, from what I read (and this is from Wikipedia): the Thumbelina portion, is in actuality a movie in of itself, and of 2 made as promotional material for the real life Pirate World Park, filmed in 1970, the others been Jack and the Beanstalk, hence why it has an intro/outro sequence, and for some cheap reason, the movie was inserted into this one when it was been film in 1972; but all three movies were commission by the park, so is likely acted by people who worked at the park and their kids. Sadly Pirate World Park shutdown in 1973 after 6 years of operation, as attendance dropped dramatically thanks to the opening of the Walt Disney World Park in 1971. This "movie" may had been a last desperate gamble to promote and save the park, which shutdown one year after its production.
This is exactly what the world needs.
The sirens from Silent Hill to usher in the demonic laughter of the Ice Cream Bunny.
Bless you Rifftrax. Bless you.
Robbie the Rabbit ain’t got SHIT on the Ice Cream Bunny.
@@DarthShadow91 I wouldn’t be shocked at all to find out if the Ice Cream Bunny inspired Robbie the Rabbit…

It’s said that in the later hours of the night, that laughter is heard in the darkness. Most people run when the air raid sirens go off.
That's a good idea!
Pirates World closed due to association with this movie.

Hahahaha
Your mom sounds pretty cool. lol
She's not wrong!
Does she get the chance to check out many serial killer's brains?
Cause I could use some help after watching this one :)
Cheers from Canada
I'm serious, my mom would say the same thing!
Pirates World Owner: "And this movie will get more people to come to our amusement park?"
Director: "Amusement park?"
This movie straight up gets one cheering for the downfall of an amusement park. That's really something.

Time you head upstairs, your room needs a clean
I like how it's titled "Santa and The Ice Cream Bunny" and not "Santa Claus Presents Thumbelina (and a Heat Induced Fever Dream)"
That would require more brain cells than the people who came up with this were capable of scrounging together between all of them.
Fancy seein you here, also, notice how they left the sleigh behind, making everything be a waste of time.
There's another version of this movie where he instead tells the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. Yes really, there's multiple versions of this.
The Ice Cream Bunny's haunting, 5 minute drive into the movie accompanied by air raid sirens will never not be hysterical to me.
Comparing it to the movie The Ring was the icing on the cake.

Oh nice. The Thumbelina version. The fun thing about this movie was when they (meaning Rifftrax) unearthed and remastered a completely different version of this film that featured a nightmare about Jack and The Beanstalk instead.
So you could watch it twice and be horrified by two different bad local theater productions of classic children's stories. Although, I would argue of the two this is the "better" one.

I thought this had to be one of those weird educational videos from *insert 20th century decade here*…but it’s an hour and a half long.
This was an actual film??!
I feel like I’m being punked.
And that’s coming from someone who watched the Star Wars Holiday Special last night.
The Ice Cream Bunny makes Krampus look like Hermie the elf.
Am I the only one who thinks the horse ride in Pirates World actually looks fun? Dangerous, yes, but fun!
And they had a log flume ride!
Watching this pushed me a little closer to the warm loving embrace of complete insanity.
The cloying, silken touch of tooth-ripping madness.
This is a Frankenmovie; a bunch of parts of dead projects some crazy person stitched together into a gibbering monster.
Guys, ya'll are being pretty generous to us! Thank ya'll!
I feel spoiled. ☺️
@@karnerblue7658 Right? 😄
Santa's death from heatstroke is a really interesting choice for Christmas merriment.
I wonder who the next of kin would be to sign off the Santa's bloated corpse? A little gnome?
And hohoho I shattered a testicle. Extreme laughing!
Half of the movies on my Christmas movie playlist are now Rifftrax movies. Thanks Rifftrax.
Wow. How did this not win an Oscar for sound design and engineering? I felt like I was right there on the beach with Santa.
And I now have recurring nightmares about it.
Not gonna lie, after watching clips of this one, I'm both excited and terryfied🤣
Be afraid, be very afraid!
After catching a few scenes in different episodes of Glee while my wife binge watched it, I must agree - I would prefer to freeze in the horrible Chicago cold than actually sit down and watch that nonsense 💯😂
You know, after watching bad movies with these guys for years, you think you're numb to it. Then a movie like this comes along and reduces me to a cackling mess questioning the meaning of existence.
😂agreed
This movie is delivered right from the Serial Killer's Lair.
That’s pretty much how my mom described this.
"You have to imagine the air coming out of that suit has the same consistency as a heavy broccoli fart." - I'm dead.
Man, this makes Don Bluth's "Thumbelina" look like one of his better films!
Just remember: all the kids who were in this are probably still alive today.
"Grandma, were you in a movie once?"
"I wouldn't have called it a movie."
"Can I see it?"
"No."
This movie certainly sealed the fate of Pirates World. What crap! Idk how Kevin, Mike and Bill do it. But I am extremely grateful that they do. So funny 😂
I love how in my recommended videos is this movie on the 'TH-cam Movies" channel with a bright "Buy or Rent" underneath it. I really needed a good laugh today.
You can't convince me that meth wasn't used during the making of this film. It was made in Florida. It's a guarantee!
They tried to pull the sled with a guerrilla before they tried with a donkey. Then they tried with a pig. The folks that made this film are seriously out there.
18:16- "Kid, you left the parking brake on!"
At least the horse was an automatic. Kid would've ground the poor thing's transmission to dust otherwise.
23:50. ...wait...WHAT? Did I go into the wrong theater or was I chloroformed in the Santa movie and dragged here?
is the world ready for this movie?
One of the all-time great riffs, a true piece of madness.
Well, after thinking harder throughout the night, I came to the reasonable conclusion the ICBunny may in actuality be the Infamous Bunny Man, from the Bunny Man Bridge Incident of 1970.
That's what the Dog was likely trying to say to us.
And it is Possible - the actual Bunny Man was never caught, and this movie was filmed in 1972, two years after the first sightings.
Also, from what I read (and this is from Wikipedia): the Thumbelina portion, is in actuality a movie in of itself, and of 2 made as promotional material for the real life Pirate World Park, filmed in 1970, the others been Jack and the Beanstalk, hence why it has an intro/outro sequence, and for some cheap reason, the movie was inserted into this one when it was been film in 1972; but all three movies were commission by the park, so is likely acted by people who worked at the park and their kids.
Sadly Pirate World Park shutdown in 1973 after 6 years of operation, as attendance dropped dramatically thanks to the opening of the Walt Disney World Park in 1971. This "movie" may had been a last desperate gamble to promote and save the park, which shutdown one year after its production.
My brother and I are back to rewatch this again, keeping our terrible tradition of watching this every St. Nicholas Day! Let the madness begin!
The experimental film that saved Pirate World from the evil forces of Disney!😆
So are we getting the Thumbelina or Jack and the Beanstalk cut. They're both equally as bad, but definitely fine bits of cheese nonetheless.
Thumbelina here!
@@rifftrax Bring on Rabbi Mole! Oy!
Rabbi Moil, more like!
“AnD THen ThE gRundgY PA bOx naRraTed the StOrY of ThUmBeLinA to tHe GiRL at PiRAtes WoRLD…”
Gets me rolling every time. 🤣
That dog looked and acted like it wanted to bite the Ice Cream Bunny and/or rip him to shreds.
Pirate World opened in 1967
Disney World opened in 1971
Pirate World made this film in 1972
Pirate World closed in 1973
not many people know this, but back in pre-covid times, this was considered a weird movie.
Surprising amount of reverb on that "beach".
I saw this was going to premiere, and made sure my brother and I caught it. The best (and only) way to celebrate St. Nicholas Day.
