The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit (1998), [2006 DVD]. Acclaimed stars Edward James Olmos (TV’s Battlestar Gallactica, Selena), Joe Mantegna (The Godfather: Part III, Bugsy, TV’s Joan Of Arcadia) and Esai Morales (La Bamba, TV’s NYPD Blue) shine in this hysterical story about one fantastic set of clothes! Five down-on-their-luck guys don’t have much in common…until the day they decide to pool their last few dollars and buy a single, perfect, shimmering “ice cream” white suit to share. The fun really takes off when it is decided that each man will be allowed to wear the suit for just one hour that same night. World-renowned writer Ray Bradbury has crafted a crowd-pleasing tale in which each enchanted hour brings a comical, once-in-a-lifetime adventure filled with passion, power and plenty of laughs! | Region 1 DVD | 77 Minutes | Color | SDH | Widescreen 1.85:1 | Dolby Digital 5.1 | NTSC | Spanish Language Track And Subtitles | Printed and Distributed in USA.

The best kind of magic based on a story from the best kind of author
I saw this once as a boy and loved every single second of it. Now I'm in my mid 30's and when I saw my chance to have it again, I still smiled and laughed at this beautiful story originally written by the amazing Ray Bradbury.

A Classic Positive Film: Bravo, Disney!
I had been looking for this DVD for years: unfortunate that Disney had made the film available only through the Movie Club. I thank the seller for providing me with a movie with many of my favorite actors!The classic Ray Bradbury story was released in 1998 with Edward James Olmos, Esai Morales, Clifton Gonzalez Gonzales, Joe Mantegna and the venerable actor Gregory Sierra (who was replaced by Olmos in Miami Vice, coincidentally).The cast is stellar in film of good clean fun as five men find a suit that makes their dreams come true one summer night in East L.A. Each actor shines in his role: I won't tell you who they portray, just enjoy these masters at work.I applaud Disney for making a film that shows Hispanic Americans in a positive light without any gang, drug nonsense and negativity: just a movie that coiluld take place anywhere with anyone playing these characters. It's another feel-good Disney classic that chases the blues away! Magic!!!

Lift Your Spirits
I had this movie in VHS and was looking for a modern format. I love the optimism and the silliness of this movie. My favorite characters are the philosopher Villanazul ( Gregory Sierra) and the down and outer Vamanos (Edward James Olmos). Perfect flick when you want to feel good.

I'm a Ray Bradbury fan, and know that there are varied results taking Ray's work to film. This really worked beautifully and took me to a world of Ray that had quite a bit of depth and texture. A sweet idea, sharing the suit among 5 people.
