Wiki.
Ray Bradbury's The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit, also known as The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit, is a 1998 American fantasy comedy film directed by Stuart Gordon, written by Ray Bradbury and starring Edward James Olmos, Joe Mantegna, Esai Morales, Clifton Collins Jr. (credited as Clifton Gonzalez Gonzalez), Sid Caesar, Howard Morris and Gregory Sierra. It is set in East Los Angeles.
Despite some well-known actors and the writing credit of Bradbury, having been intended for a theatrical release, the film was released direct-to-video by Touchstone Home Video. Years later in an interview, Roy E. Disney of the Disney Studios, explained that while he was enamored with the stage play on which the film is based, the studio balked at paying feature film big budget prices to bring the material to the big screen. Eager to get "the thing made", Roy E. Disney went along with having the play made as a made-for-TV-movie, with a much lower budget. The trouble with that, he found out, was that under contractual duties he could not bring the made-for-TV movie to the big screen without going back and re-paying all those who worked on the original television movie a second time. So the television movie was released direct to video and not theatrically.
