Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny (1972)
And if you thought that was trippy, try this. Santa’s sleigh gets stuck in the Florida sand, and he has to rely on children to help him get it loose. When this fails he tells them the story of (depending on which version you happen to be unlucky enough to have got) Thumbelina or Jack and the Beanstalk (how are those stories even thinly related?) - this entails a previous movie of both being played in its entirety, so that most of what you get in this movie is one of those fairy tales. For some reason Twain’s Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn are commenting, and then the Ice Cream Bunny shows up driving an antique fire engine… you know what? I’ve had it. Just watch it if you dare.

Well, not only does it have a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the audience score is 11%. That’s the lowest joint score I’ve seen yet. Only one critic, but boy does Tim Brayton of
Antagony and Ecstasy let fly!
Its execution is at places so determinedly bereft of even the most limited, accidental filmmaking talent that it doesn't seem right to call the resultant object an actual work of cinema.
One person who watched it for other than their day job said
A short list candidate for the worst movie ever made; it makes you admire the professionalism and continuity of PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE.
Ouch!
Another gasped
Wow!! It's so hideously bad the only motivation I could think that this abomination was produced in the first place was simply because some guys had a couple of tacky-looking fancy dress outfits laying around in the loft and decided to make a movie with them. As a movie, this is the poorest you could ever find. Everything about it is amateur, from the acting to the set design to the photography, editing and direction. Even the songs are akin to the type a 6-year-old could come up with. The kazoo-heavy score is also inferior. This could surpass for entertainment as a movie, and if it's intended to be a 90-minute advert, it fails at that too.
