So you have a character who's famous in-universe, or a popular show-within-a-show. For sake of example: ''The Alice and Bob Show''. What better way to show off that fame and popularity? ''Alice and Bob On Ice''! When you've got your own ice show, you've officially made it to the big time.
Like many [[Show Within a Show|Shows within Shows]], an in-universe [[Ice Show]] may be rife with [[Adaptation Decay]] and [[Stylistic Suck]]. There also tends to be a high level of [[Camp]].

* Dialogue in a ''[[Full House]]'' episode revealed that Danny once took D.J. to see ''Smurfs on Ice''.
== [[Real Life]] ==
* The now-defunct ''Ice Capades'' skating revues were the [[Real Life]] basis for this trope, via segments inspired by popular kid-friendly franchises. Examples:
** ''[[
** ''[[The Snorks]]'' (1985)
** ''Ewoks'' (1986)
** ''[[Teddy Ruxpin]]'' (1987)
** [[Super Mario Brothers]] (1989) -- Princess Toadstool spoke like Mae West, King Koopa was played by Mr. Belvedere, Mario sounded like Fred Flintstone, and the whole thing ended with a [[Curb Stomp Battle]] in which Mario did NOTHING. It has to be seen to be believed...so [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ue4Bca8DbAQ here it is!]
** ''[[The Simpsons (
** ''[[The Smurfs]]'' (More than once in [[The Eighties]])
** [[Barbie]] (Several times in [[The Eighties]] and [[The Nineties]])
* The ''[[Disney
* ''The Wizard of Oz on Ice'' was adapted from [[The Wizard of Oz (
* ''[[Anastasia]] on Ice''.
* While presented on traditional stages rather than ice rinks, there is a whole theatrical subgenre of what The Other Wiki calls "adapted live stage tours" featuring children's animated or puppet characters "coming to life" in the same manner (elaborate costumes, pre-recorded soundtracks, etc.). These can become their own franchises, with a new show introduced every year or so; shows that have received this treatment include:
** ''[[
** ''[[
** ''[[Curious George]]''
** ''Disney Live!'' (franchise)
** ''[[
** ''[[Madagascar]]''
** ''The [[He-Man and
** ''[[Muppet Babies]]''

* The full title of the ''[[Simpsons]]'' 20th anniversary special was ''The Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special - In 3-D! On Ice!'' (Although it was neither on ice nor in 3D, and was shown during the 21st season...but it really was about ''The Simpsons''.)
** Also one time on ''The Simpsons'' Krusty and Sideshow Mel were hosting an Ice Capades-type show; they slipped behind some flats and two obvious skate-doubles came out to do an ice dance in their stead.
* In an episode of [[Fairly Oddparents]], Timmy sells magical lemonade so he can afford tickets to ''Crash Nebula on Ice''.
