| 1 | !!''Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny'' contains examples of: |
| 2 | * ActingForTwo: The child actors who play the elves in the opening scene appear later on [[AsHimself as themselves]] helping out Santa. Whether this has any significance or is just a [[NoBudget cost-saving measure]] is unclear. |
| 3 | * AmateurCast: The kids are actually billed as "'Kids' from Ruth Foreman's Pied Piper Playhouse". (That's not a typo: "Kids" is in quotation marks in the credits.) |
| 4 | * CreatorsOddball: This is the only known fiction film directed by Richard Winer, whose career was otherwise spent as a documentary film-maker. |
| 5 | * TheDanza: All of the child actors are called by their real first name. Except for the three girls who are just called "girls." |
| 6 | * DawsonCasting: Some of the "kids" are clearly pushing high school age. Also [[InvertedTrope inverted]] as it's quite clear to the sharp-eyed viewer that the actor portraying Santa is much, ''much'' younger than he's intended to be under the quite obvious white stage-wool hair and beard (a moment of silence for that poor man's case of heat exhaustion). |
| 7 | * NeverWorkWithChildrenOrAnimals: The "kids" are all well-behaved (since they're professional stage actors), but the animals are all very noticeably uncooperative and clearly have no training on how to work on-camera at all, leading to long stretches of LeaveTheCameraRunning during the scenes where they try to free Santa's sleigh, and later Rebel the dog infamously almost gets run over by the Ice Cream Bunny's truck. |
| 8 | * ThrowItIn: During the early scene of a kid with a raccoon, it's obvious the animal is ''freaking out'' with the boy desperately trying to improvise off it. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | !!The ''Thumbelina'' adaptation contains examples of: |
| 11 | * ActingForTwo: Shay Garner plays both the title character and the young woman who stumbles upon the exhibit. The Thumbelina segments are presumably the young woman imagining the story as she listens to it. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | !!The ''Jack and the Beanstalk'' adaptation contains examples of: |
| 14 | * NoBudget: The golden hen and magic harp are mocked up from tinfoil and the scenes with both Jack and the giant are painfully clearly made by projecting the giant on a movie screen that Jack's walking in front of. |
