A cinematic triumph for years to come
24 December 2011
Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny is nothing short of a pristine cinematic masterpiece and a dramatic triumph. The film takes us on an incredible journey as we witness Santa Claus' valiant yet fruitless attempts to free his sleigh from the devastating desert sands as he struggles with the scorching Florida heat and a borderline existential crisis, assisted by a colorful cast of children and wild animals that liven up the experience and bring some much-needed comic relief. Throughout the work, we are presented with themes of man against nature, the juxtaposition of fiction with reality, dramatic irony, and plenty of cues from the greatest works of Shakespeare, Moliere, Dickens, Cervantes, and many other masters. The Ice Cream Bunny is one of the greatest and most deeply-developed characters in all fiction, and deserves much more than the minimal amount of screen time that he was given. With an engaging plot and cinematic mastery, Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny will be remembered by many cinema enthusiasts for years to come.
