A few years ago my friends found this vhs at a yard sale. We were speechless upon viewing it. It's randomness is astonishing. So if you plan to watch it, go for the Riff Trax version as otherwise your head might explode. Santa and his sleigh become stuck on a beach in Florida. There's no explanation of where the reindeers went, but poor Santa's got to find a way to get back to the North Pole. He uses his psychic powers to call all children in the area to help him. They try to hitch different kinds of animals to his sleigh, which makes no sense since none of the animals can fly.
After the failure to get Santa home, he sits the children down to tell them the story of Thumbelina. This reads more like an advertisement for Pirate World amusement park which is where a girl views the Thumbelina display and imagines herself as part of it. In the middle of all this nonsense, Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn show up and hide in the bushes. What the heck?!?!
After most of the movie is consumed by Thumbelina and her mole friends, a heavily sweating Santa finishes his story just in time for the Ice Cream Bunny to drive up in his olde tyme fire engine filled with children. Honestly, can you imagine letting your child hang off an old fire truck while some guy in a bunny suit tries to see out of a massive oversized bunny head? I'm surprised he could see anything at all, let alone the road. Oh yeah, and he doesn't have any ice cream so no idea where they came up with the name. Pure madness.
