Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny (1972) - Directed by R. Winer and Barry Mahon
"My predicament lacks its usual cheer."
Rifttrax, the sequel to MST3K, offers both good movies and bad movies. Just because they're now willing the riff The Lord of the Rings trilogy doesn't necessary mean they'll stay away from the worst movies ever made. Example: yet another Barry Mahon film (partly). That's right! It's a movie within a movie, and the inner movie is directed by the man who brought you the MST3K episode Rocket Attack USA. This wackjob was known for both nudie films and kiddy films. And if you want a movie that makes you say this:
Check out SANTA AND THE ICE CREAM BUNNY!
Here we see that Santa's reindeer have abandoned him in Florida, and the big jolly sweaty guy wearing all-Winter clothing isn't doing so well. He magically calls the children over to help his reindeer-less chariot take off, but when all fails, he tells them the story of Thumbelina so that they can never give up! nd the only hope for him is an old friend of his...
Unless you're watching the Rifttrax version: AVOID THIS MOVIE LIKE THE PLAGUE. The way I see it, it just barely qualifies as a movie because it has a release date and a director. We have about a half-hour split apart from the movie within the movie that actually has anything to do with the title. Obviously, this R. Winer was too lazy to actually make a movie, so he stuck a movie by the worst director in the middle (including credits before the R. Winer scenes finish). Wow. The opening sequence was exceptionally horrendous, involving a just a few kids working in this tiny workshop (which apparently constitutes as a whole workshop for the world) in the North Pole (which apparently is green and full of cattle), and a terrible and boring opening sequence of Santa singing.
When we finally actually meet the ice cream bunny, HE IS THE SCARIEST MOTHER I'VE EVER SEEN IN A CHILDREN'S MOVIE OR TV SHOW. I'd honestly rather French kiss Barney than be within vision of the ice cream bunny because I'm afraid he'll try to hug me. And all he managed to do was end the plot set up in the first "half." The terrible Thumbelina movie didn't help because it had slightly higher production values than the actual POINT of the movie.
Dumb dumb dumb. Never watch it. Just don't. No recommendations sentence that's apparent in most of my reviews. Dumbest movie ever.
