Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny (1972) - full transcript
Poor Santa Claus. This live-action feature finds his sleigh stuck in the sand on a Florida beach only days before Christmas Eve. He psychically summons prepubescent aid from a nearby subdivision. In order to extricate Santa's sleigh, the local children bring many different animals (presumably the sheep was someone's housepet), but nothing works, and the kids are afraid they won't get any gifts this year. To boost their spirits, Santa tells them the story of Thumbellina, and the setting dissolves into a "fantasy within a fantasy". Thumbellina is a beautiful but very tiny girl, "not much larger than a clothes pin". She becomes lost in the forest during the winter and finds refuge in the underground home of Mrs. Mole. A neighbor mole, Mr. Digger, falls in love and wants to marry Thumbellina, but she's having none of it. When warm weather returns, she runs back into the forest and deserts the two kindly creatures who saved her life, crushing their spirits forever ... the end. As Santa is finishing his story and yes, that is its intended conclusion he and the children hear the wail of a siren. The "Ice Cream Bunny" has arrived in his antique fire engine to save the day!

Santa isn't here!
There's a very good reason, for
Santa not being there.
Of all places for Santa to be,
in his sleigh,
stuck in the sand,
thousands of miles from the
North Pole.
Way down in Florida.
And without his reindeer.
Because they were so hot, they
took off to the North Pole.
What a predicament!
Especially, the long beard, and
the red velvet suit, and the
white fur.
That's a lot of heavy clothing
to be worn on a beach in
Florida.
And Santa was mighty
uncomfortable.
Because the sun in Florida was
certainly a lot hotter
than any sun at the North Pole.

Poor Santa.
What would he do?
What a predicament.
Well, first thing, Santa always
has to be presentable.
So he put on his thinking cap.
Wonder what he came up with?

Who will set old Santa free?

It was just too hot for them I

My predicament lacks its usual

Because Christmas Day will soon

Who will?
Who will help me?
Who will set me free?
If my friends knew where to
find me they would be here.
One, two, three, so.
Here I sit patiently stuck in

Oh woe, is me!
Looking and waiting for someone

Hey Santa!
What are you doing here?
This is the first time in
hundreds of years that I got
stuck.
My sleigh came right down here
in the sand.
Curved once.
We hit hard.
Are you hurt Santa?
Ho ho ho, no just my feelings.
But my reindeer, they took off
for the North Pole.
They tried so hard to get me
out of the sand.
But they just couldn't do it.
And it simply got too hot for
them, so off they
went to the North Pole, without
me.
Why do you want to be here now
Santa, in the hot sun?
Well, you know this is the time
of the year when we make
our great Christmas trip around
the world.
We find out who's been good and
who's been bad.
We'll help you Santa!
How will you ever deliver the
gifts?
And what will happen to
Christmas without you?
Well you know that old Santa
has never let you down before
and Santa isn't going to let
you down now.
But you must remember that you
must keep faith.
You must believe!
Hey Santa!
Why don't you take one of those
planes that's circling around
up there?
That might be a good idea.
Except what would I do with my
sleigh?
Hey Huck!
Could that be Santa Claus?
Hey, it is Santa Claus Tom!
What do you suppose he's doing
here?
I don't know Huck.
He looks like he's stuck in the
sand.
He is stuck!
Hey, do you think if we could
find out what happened?
Yeah!

to show you what courage, and

You remember about Jack and the
Beanstalk.
Jack's mother, gave him the
family cow to take him
to town and to make him trade.
Remember that?
Well, Jack took the family cow
into town, and all he brought
back was one bean.
One bean.
Remember that?
Something very good happened.
That means you must always have
faith.
Don't ever be discouraged.
You must have faith.

Step right up!
I'll tell you what I'm going to
do.
I?
Gentlemen!
Gentlemen!
Step right up please!
Step right up!
I'll tell you what I'm going to
do.
I have here in my hand the
magic of the ancient pharaohs.
Plant these beans and they will
transport you to an enchanted
land.
How about you sir?
Come on John just another one
of your
phoney publicity tricks to sell
more cows.
Instead of wasting your time on
this, you ought to sell better
merchandise.
Yes your stock of cows is
terrible.
Why they're all broken down and
none of them give milk.
Now wait just a moment.
I may have done some shady
things in the past.
But William, how was I to know
that cow of yours would stop
giving milk
after the five thousand mile
guarantee ran out.
I didn't plan it that way.
You wouldn't take her back
either.
Ah, but a bargain's a bargain.
I didn't make you buy her.
I presume you're looking for a
bargain in a new cow?
No sir.
My mother asked me to bring my
cow in town to sell her.
You see we need the money very
badly.
My boy, this is a magnificent
beast.
Magnificent!
Park her over there, will you?
She should bring top dollar.
As a matter of fact, I'll you
what I'm going to do.
My hands here I have the key to
your future my lad.
These magic beans can transport
you to untold riches.
These are nothing but old beans.
I have to have money for my
cow.
Money?
Of course, a few dollars, but
then it's gone.
These magic beans can do it for
you.
Believe me, these are the key
to your future.
How will I know this?
You have to take me word for
that.

So what do you say?
Well I don't know.
My mother said to bring home

And I don't know what good
these beans will do.
Well you just take them and I
promise you you'll never regret
it.
And if you don't find the
magic, bring them back
I can gladly give you a dollar
for your cow.
You see, we have a bargain!
Honest John never fails to
deliver.
Thank you sir.
But if anything is wrong I'll
be back to see you.
Never fear, Honest John will
always be here.
Now gentleman you've seen the
fine animal
this young man has brought in.
What am I bid for her?
Well I'll pay fifteen dollars.
I'll pay twenty.
You should be ashamed of
yourself.
Twenty dollars for such a fine
animal.
She's worth at least a hundred.
Hey you gave that boy just a
few beans.
Ah hah!
But those were magic.
Now we're talking about mundane
dollars.
Do I hear thirty?
Well I'll pay thirty but not a
penny more.
Do I hear thirty five?
Thirty one fifty?
Alright.
Sold to the man for thirty
dollars.
But you must take them now to
save me the evening feed bill.
Give me a hand?
Sure.
Our worries are over!
Our fortune is made.
From now on we can live like we
used to.
Jack whatever are you talking
about?
Give me the money.
That's it mother I didn't get
the money.
I got these instead.
You mean you traded our cow for
these silly beans?
Yes mother and they're magic.
Honest John assured me that
good fortune would come our
way.
Oh Jack how could you?
How could you be so stupid?
He said if I wasn't completely
satisfied I could bring back
the beans
and he could give me the money
for the cow.
But then you take them right
back.
And get your money.
And you Rosemary go with him.
And make sure that rascal
doesn't take advantage of us
again.
(crickets chirping)
(footsteps)
His sign is gone.
So is our cow.
What have I done?
You've done the stupidest thing
I've ever heard of!
That's what you've done!
Oh Jack!
How could you be so foolish?
Maybe the beans are really
magic!
Oh don't be silly!
(footsteps)
(knocking)
Rosemary!
Jack!
Yes mother?
Where were you last night?
I was so tired I went to bed.
I was looking for that man.
Did you get the money?
No.
He went out of business and he
left town.
Oh dear.
Whatever shall we do now?
We'll just have to wait until
magic works.
You and your silly magic!
Give me those beans.
(loud humming noise)
I told you they were magic!
Look!
It's a giant beanstalk, and
it's climbing into the sky.
I'm going to see where it goes!
Jack, do be careful.
I don't think we should have
let him go.
Let him go, the beans are
magic.
Maybe he'll bring something
back!

or they wouldn't grown like
that.
Maybe he'll bring back some
treasure.
Just as long as he comes back.
I never should have scolded him
so hard!

My magic hen's gone!
I knew I smelled someone.
If I find him I'll crush him
cold!
Mama!
Jack's back!
Look what I have!
Our magic hen back!
Are you alright dear?
Does it still lay golden eggs?
Well it did for the giant.
The giant?
Where have you been?
In a magic land inhabited by a
giant.
He must have been the one who
stole father's possessions.
Anyway I hid in his house.
And when he fell asleep I took
our hen back.
Did you see our others?
Yes but I could only bring
this.
So I thought the hen would be
best.
I saw a harp and a bagful of
golden eggs.
Which he kept as the hen laid
them.
But this was all I could bring.
Well I'm happy to have you back
anyway.
Maybe the hen will lay us an
egg.
Please try hard, little hen.
Oh yes!
Lay us a golden egg!
Come on little hen just like
you did for the giant.
(gasping)
Your father told me the next
one was very delicate
so we should not overdo it.
So we only have the hen to lay
an egg when we really need it.
You've done well my son.
We're both proud of you.
(sighs)
(footsteps)
If I could only remember where
I got those magic beans.
Well I'll have to make the best
of it.
Is this the place?
This is it.
Could I interest you in some
magic beans sir?
Surely you've heard the story
of Jack and his good fortune.
Think of what it could do for
you!
And I'm only charging ten
dollars a piece.
Ten dollars?
But how could they be magic for
only ten dollars?
He's obviously a fraud!
But Jack traded him a whole
cow.
But if they were really worth
it I think
he'd ask more than ten dollars.
Come on!
I've made a mistake.
It seems I've underestimated
the power of the publicity I've
gained.
It won't happen again.
Here are your beans.
Thank you my lad.
And here's the dollar for your
thousand beans.
I'll sell them to you anytime
for this price.
I appreciate the service and I
am gladly willing to pay for it.
Ah hah!
Here comes some likely
customers!
I'm sure you must be getting
back to the marketplace
now, so if I need you I'll call
for you.
Thank you.
Excuse me sir.
Are you the gentleman who gave
our neighbor Jack his magic
beans?
Of course.
Is there some complaint?
I hear he returned with riches
beyond his dreams.
And I can do the same for you.
Be back in a moment.
You see?
I have here a few of the ones
that sent Jack into
the heavens and riches beyond
his wildest dreams.
Perhaps I could interest you in
a little trade?
But we don't have a cow?
There's always a price.
What's your price?
One hundred dollars.
A hundred dollars?!
Well that's pretty steep.
For riches beyond your wildest
dreams?
Anyone would pay a hundred
dollars.
Wait a minute.
If these beans can give you
riches beyond your wildest
dreams, how
come you're only asking a
hundred dollars for them?
Ah, but the price is much more
madam.
I would ask many thousands, but
I am a friend of the people.
My good fortune, is your good
fortune.
But of course I must make
enough to cover expenses.
What a kind soul.
With a nice outlook.
He just wants to help his
friends.
The only problem is we don't
have a hundred dollars.
Perhaps I could interest you in
our easy payment plan.
Just think.
Untold riches for only ten
dollars down, and ten dollars
and month?
And we could pay for our
payments, from the riches we
receive,
from the beans!
Seems too easy to me.
Ah, but this is only my way of
spreading the wealth and
happiness dear.
Now, if you care to, you can
step in my office
and we'll sign the papers.
I don't see why I can't go
again.
After all, he's got my father's
harp.
And why should he have that?
I know what she'll say if I ask
her again.
"Why do you want to risk your
life on a silly mechanical
harp?"
But I think we ought to have it.

Of all places for Santa to be,

stuck in the sand,
thousands of miles from the
North Pole.
Way down in Florida.
And without his reindeer.
Because they were so hot, they
took off to the North Pole.
What a predicament!
Especially, the long beard, and
the red velvet suit, and the
white fur.
That's a lot of heavy clothing
to be worn on a beach in
Florida.
And Santa was mighty
uncomfortable.
Because the sun in Florida was
certainly a lot hotter
than any sun at the North Pole.

Hey Santa!
What are you doing here?
This is the first time in
hundreds of years that I got
stuck.
My sleigh came right down here
in the sand.
Curved once.
We hit hard.
Are you hurt Santa?
Ho ho ho, no just my feelings.
But my reindeer, they took off
for the North Pole.
They tried so hard to get me
out of the sand.
But they just couldn't do it.
And it simply got too hot for
them, so off they
went to the North Pole, without
me.
Why do you want to be here now
Santa, in the hot sun?
Well, you know this is the time
of the year when we make
our great Christmas trip around
the world.
We find out who's been good and
who's been bad.
We'll help you Santa!
How will you ever deliver the
gifts?
And what will happen to
Christmas without you?
Well you know that old Santa
has never let you down before
and Santa isn't going to let
you down now.
But you must remember that you
must keep faith.
You must believe!
Hey Santa!
Why don't you take one of those
planes that's circling around
up there?
That might be a good idea.
Except what would I do with my
sleigh?
Hey Huck!
Could that be Santa Claus?
Hey, it is Santa Claus Tom!
What do you suppose he's doing
here?

Why they're all broken down and

either.
Ah, but a bargain's a bargain.
I didn't make you buy her.
I presume you're looking for a
bargain in a new cow?
No sir.

cow in town to sell her.
You see we need the money very
badly.

beast.

Did you see our others?
Yes but I could only bring
this.
So I thought the hen would be
best.
I saw a harp and a bagful of
golden eggs.
Which he kept as the hen laid
them.
But this was all I could bring.
Well I'm happy to have you back
anyway.
Maybe the hen will lay us an
egg.
Please try hard, little hen.
Oh yes!
Lay us a golden egg!
Come on little hen just like
you did for the giant.
(gasping)
Your father told me the next
one was very delicate
so we should not overdo it.
So we only have the hen to lay
an egg when we really need it.
You've done well my son.
We're both proud of you.
(sighs)
(footsteps)
If I could only remember where
I got those magic beans.
Well I'll have to make the best
of it.
Is this the place?
This is it.
Could I interest you in some
magic beans sir?
Surely you've heard the story
of Jack and his good fortune.
Think of what it could do for
you!
And I'm only charging ten
dollars a piece.
Ten dollars?
But how could they be magic for
only ten dollars?
He's obviously a fraud!
But Jack traded him a whole
cow.
But if they were really worth
it I think
he'd ask more than ten dollars.
Come on!
I've made a mistake.
It seems I've underestimated
the power of the publicity I've
gained.
It won't happen again.
Here are your beans.
Thank you my lad.
And here's the dollar for your
thousand beans.
I'll sell them to you anytime
for this price.
I appreciate the service and I
am gladly willing to pay for it.
Ah hah!
Here comes some likely
customers!
I'm sure you must be getting
back to the marketplace
now, so if I need you I'll call
for you.
Thank you.
Excuse me sir.
Are you the gentleman who gave
our neighbor Jack his magic
beans?
Of course.
Is there some complaint?
I hear he returned with riches
beyond his dreams.
And I can do the same for you.
Be back in a moment.
You see?
I have here a few of the ones
that sent Jack into
the heavens and riches beyond
his wildest dreams.
Perhaps I could interest you in
a little trade?
But we don't have a cow?
There's always a price.
What's your price?
One hundred dollars.
A hundred dollars?!
Well that's pretty steep.
For riches beyond your wildest
dreams?
Anyone would pay a hundred
dollars.
Wait a minute.
If these beans can give you
riches beyond your wildest
dreams, how
come you're only asking a
hundred dollars for them?
Ah, but the price is much more
madam.
I would ask many thousands, but
I am a friend of the people.
My good fortune, is your good
fortune.
But of course I must make
enough to cover expenses.
What a kind soul.
With a nice outlook.
He just wants to help his
friends.
The only problem is we don't
have a hundred dollars.
Perhaps I could interest you in
our easy payment plan.
Just think.
Untold riches for only ten
dollars down, and ten dollars
and month?
And we could pay for our
payments, from the riches we
receive,
from the beans!
Seems too easy to me.
Ah, but this is only my way of
spreading the wealth and
happiness dear.
Now, if you care to, you can
step in my office
and we'll sign the papers.
I don't see why I can't go
again.
After all, he's got my father's
harp.
And why should he have that?
I know what she'll say if I ask
her again.
"Why do you want to risk your
life on a silly mechanical
harp?"
But I think we ought to have it.
