Line 4:
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]].
 
[[I Thought It Meant|Not related to]] [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made Onon Drugs?|metamphetamine.]] [[Sub-Trope]] of [[Recycled in Space]].

Line 14:
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* ''[[I CarlyICarly]]'' [[Discussed Trope|discussed]] the trope in the episode ''iWin A Date'' when two of their friends didn't show up for their webshow as they went to see ''Girly Cow On Ice''.
{{quote| '''Carly:''' "Why is it whenever there's a popular TV show they just gotta go put it on ice!" }}
* Dialogue in a ''[[Full House]]'' episode revealed that Danny once took D.J. to see ''Smurfs on Ice''.
Line 20:
== [[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:
** ''[[Yogi Bear (Animation)|Yogi Bear]]'' (1977 edition, plus a crossover with ''[[Scooby Doo]]'' and ''[[The Flintstones]]'' in '79)
** ''[[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 (Animationanimation)|The Simpsons]]'' (1990)
** ''[[The Smurfs]]'' (More than once in [[The Eighties]])
** [[Barbie]] (Several times in [[The Eighties]] and [[The Nineties]])
* The ''[[Disney Onon Ice]]'' franchise, [[The Rival]] to ''Ice Capades'' that eventually came out on top.
* ''The Wizard of Oz on Ice'' was adapted from [[The Wizard of Oz (Filmfilm)|the 1939 film]].
* ''[[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:
** ''[[Barney and Friends (TV)|Barney and Friends]]''
** ''[[BluesBlue's Clues]]''
** ''[[Curious George]]''
** ''Disney Live!'' (franchise)
** ''[[Dora the Explorer (Animation)|Dora the Explorer]]''
** ''[[Madagascar]]''
** ''The [[He-Man and Thethe Masters of Thethe Universe (Animation)|Masters of the Universe]] Power Tour'' included characters from sister franchise ''[[She -Ra: Princess of Power (Animation)|She Ra Princess of Power]]''.
** ''[[Muppet Babies]]''
** ''[[The Muppet Show]]''
Line 61:
** 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''.
* ''[[Rugrats (Animation)|Rugrats]]'' had ''Reptar on Ice''. Reptar is the show's expy of Godzilla, but for some reason (even the guy playing Reptar complained about its implausibility), the ice show had him falling in love with a reporter. On the other hand, Grampa was doubtful about seeing it but thought it was brilliant once he did.
* ''[[Robot Chicken]]'' did a sketch where ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]'' became ''Empire... [[On Ice]]''!"
* In the ''[[Arthur (Animationanimation)|Arthur]]'' episode "Play It Again, D.W.", D.W. has four tickets to ''Crazy Bus Live''. Arthur doesn't want to go, but D.W. tells him that it's only fair; she had to go to ''Bionic Bunny on Ice'' when Arthur wanted to go.
* In ''[[FostersFoster's Home for Imaginary Friends]]'', Bloo's popularity has resulted in a flood of [[Captain Ersatz]] Bloos, and this becomes a problem when Mac only has two tickets to Bloo's favorite TV show's On Ice Spectacular.
* ''Dangeresque: Put 'Em On Ice'' from the [[Rock Opera]] E-mail from ''[[Homestar Runner]].''
* Eddie from ''[[Slacker Cats]]'' goes to see ''[[Saving Private Ryan]]'' on ice.
