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!

| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonIts 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. |
| User ReviewJames WThe terrors of this film are great, and yet it's not a horror movie. It's cheap, stupid, hard to hear, and mind-melting. Most of the film is some unrelated Thumbelina movie, and the end of the film is confusing and painful. Don't try to watch this without Rifftrax. |
| User ReviewKeith CThank God I saw the Rifftrax version. This film made me want to drill various nails into my mouth. If it were a Gaspar Noe/David Lynch/Alejandro Jodorowsky deal, I'd appreciate this film - after all, taking every wrong of cinema and turning it into something beautifully demented. However, this was not meant to be surrealist cinema - this absurdly strange film I just saw was meant to be a family comedy where everybody could get together and have a good time. Well, let me be the first to say this, but this film has only made me want to die. |
