The Ice Cream Man is the main antagonist in the 2009 animated horror short film Who's Hungry?. He is a murderous ice cream seller who kidnaps children, so that he can turn them into ice cream.
Although the short film does not have any spoken dialogue or too much noises, his screams were provided by Frank Welker. While the full animation was created by David Ochs.

Such a dark story. Of course, it's a modern retelling of the old Brothers Grimm fairy tale Hansel and Gretel, but still... this one's not for everyone. There's blood, death, and other disturbing themes throughout.
The animation style is an interesting vintage look-reminiscent of early animations from the 1910s to the 1930s. Then again, while the style may be over 100 years old, the original fairy tale being adapted here is over 200 years old, so it's a fitting artistic choice.
And as for the film's title, Who's Hungry?-you'll have to watch to find out. The meaning becomes clear as the story unfolds.

OK. I guy who makes his own food out of children he has kidnapped, sits and watches TV. The heroic little girl gets away and tries to rescue her friend/brother. He can't resist eating some of the giant's food. This is about as bizarre as anything I've ever seen. So unsettling and not for kids.
