History Film / SantaAndTheIceCreamBunny

* NoEnding: The film doesn't end. It just sort of stops.

* FilmingForEasyDub: Possibly the single worst example ever committed to film. It was obviously shot silent to keep the (non-existent) budget even lower and the dialogue was looped in later, and they kept the shots of the actors' mouths moving to a minimum. Like ''Film/TheBeastOfYuccaFlats'', but much worse. Yes, this film sailed below the standards set by ''Creator/ColemanFrancis''. A particularly bad bit occurs at the climax where we can clearly see the kids' mouths moving but don't hear any singing until after a few minutes

** The kids get a bunch of random animals to try to pull Santa's sleigh, including a ''gorilla'' none of which prove suitable. We never find out what happened to the animals after, so is there a gorilla just wandering around somewhere in [[OnlyInFlorida Florida?]]

* SomewhereAnEquestrianIsCrying: Santa attempts to use a horse to pull his sled without any reins or tack. The horse is visibly not pleased to be in the film.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Tom and Huck initially appear with a raccoon on a leash, but it disappears from their later scenes. Tom and Huck themselves only appear for two scenes: one where they are in the raft with the aforementioned raccoon, and another where, after they get to shore, they just stand there expressing shock that Santa is there. After this, they seemingly just cease to exist, and don't even join the other kids in trying to help Santa.

* StockFootage: Whenever the film is going to describe something that would too expensive to film, it cuts to the girl at the exhibit listening and tilting her head.

Basically, the whole thing looks like what might've happened if Creator/DavidLynch tried to make a Christmas movie for kids. It's become a SoBadItsGood CultClassic, even getting the Podcast/RiffTrax treatment.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Tom and Huck initially appear with a raccoon on a leash, but it disappears from their later scenes.

-> ''"Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time in 150+ movies, Podcast/RiffTrax has nothing to say."''

* KarmaHoudini: Santa tells the kids his reindeer [[DirtyCoward just abandoned him once they got too hot.]] Despite this, we see them back at the North Pole at the beginning, and the elves [[EasilyForgiven are completely blaze about what the reindeer did.]]

* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: The Ice Cream Bunny supplies no ice cream whatsoever. He drives a firetruck instead of an ice cream truck.

* AndYouWereThere: Tom Thumb is played by the same actor as the young girl's boyfriend?

* FourthDateMarriage: Thumbelina protests marrying a frog and Mr. Digger because they've only known each other for a day, but then has no problem with immediately marrying Tom Thumb. Sure, there's species to consider, but species is barely even brought up. Her main reason for agreeing to marry Tom Thumb seems to be that he wasn't as pushy as her other suitors.

* HappilyEverAfter: Lives happily ever after with Tom Thumb and sings a song about living happily ever after, too.

* ViewersAreMorons: As the Agony Booth review says "Like most other terrible children’s films, the filmmakers seem to think that simply because the movie is for kids, they have to pretend like they’re making it for retards. Every actor speaks as slowly as possible, enunciating every word as if they’re talking to people who don’t speak English. All the characters take longer than [[AcceptablePoliticalTargets George W. Bush to string a sentence together]], and [[LargeHam deliver the most obvious emoting you’ll see outside of a Sally Struthers infomercial]]."

* '''Mike:''' Santa Claus: not a member of AAA.\\

* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler:Honest John cons several townsfolk out of money, but he's still invited to join the crown in the final song without any comeuppance. Especially odd since the previous scene in the town was his victims comparing notes and organizing a lynch mob.]]

-->'''Bill:''' (as a kid) Why, Santa? Why the confusing framing device?

-->'''Bill (as a kid):''' W-W-W-Wait, wait, the lady talking on the loudspeaker is a ground-dwelling animal of some sort? Santa, what the hell's going on here?!\\

* InformedAttractiveness: Thumbelina is implied to be absolutely perfect in all but size. Shay Garner, while pretty in a GirlNextDoor way, isn't exactly a knockout; her vacant eyes and large eyebrows are her most distinctive facial features. However, she makes up for it with some nice {{Fanservice}}, via not wearing a bra and wearing a skirt that shows off her [[ShesGotLegs long legs]].

* [[RecapEpisode Recap Film]]: Utilized in the ending for some reason other than more padding.
* ShesGotLegs: Besides going braless, Shay Garner's ParentService also involves plenty of leg. She wears a miniskirt in the amusement park scenes and her Thumbelina skirt stops way short of her knees.

* GainaxEnding[=/=]NoEnding: The film doesn't end. It just sort of stops.
