• 5.0 out of 5 stars Fred Flintstone!!!

  Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2018

  They used to show this movie every year leading up to Christmas but a few years ago, they stopped showing it. I was disappointed because I love this movie! Fred Flintstones was chosen to play the role of Scrooge in the Bedrock Community Theater production of "A Christmas Carol". And, well, he's become so obsessed with rehearsing his part, and with the fact that he got the lead role, that he's turning into a real-life Scrooge. Much to the dismay of Wilma and everyone else. Wilma is furious when Fred forgets to pick up Pebbles from "Cave Care". To make matters worse, a flu-like illness called "the Bedrock bug" has left many people involved in the play-including some of the actors, too sick to perform. An already stressed out Wilma is left no choice but to fill in for the sick actors. She uses the opportunity to take out her anger on Fred for being such a jerk. This move is funny and heart-warming. Fun fact: Wilma is voiced by the original "Wilma", Jean Vander Pyl who voiced "Wilma" in the 1960s cartoon "The Flintstones". This is one of my favorite quotes from the movie.

  Wilma (dressed as the ghost of Christmas Past) is taking Fred (Scrooge) to his past
  Fred: Take it easy, Wilma. We're supposed to be acting.
  Wilma: Sorry, Fred. You're such a convincing Scrooge, I forgot.

• 5.0 out of 5 stars A Christmas Treasure

  I haven't seen this Flintstones Christmas Carol in years. I'm very happy I found it on Prime Video, and for a very affordable price. My daughter gave me an early Christmas gift of a 42 inch flat screen Roku with prime video included. Now I can watch all of my movies and TV programs on a larger screen rather than my tablet. And the movie is the icing on the cake, still the holiday entertainment I remember. Truly feels like Christmas at my house. 🎄☃️🎅

  Love the DVD, love the movie: The Christmas Carol. Have watched the DVD many times since received the movie. Loved watching The Flintsones as a child.
  

• 4.0 out of 5 stars Scores this high because of the extra

  Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2009

  This 1994 production (years and years after the original show even left syndication) falls far short of the original series. It's decent, better at some points than others. The actual "A Christmas Carol" play portion--Fred plays Scrooge while Wilma is forced to play almost every other character since the original cast members keep falling ill--is better than the scenes leading up to it, but even that doesn't get better than average. It wouldn't be worth messing with on its own.

  Now the reason why this gets four stars instead of three is because one extra included is "Christmas Flintstone," which IS an episode in the original series. I had forgotten (or maybe never realized) just how good that show was. The writing is snappy, the timing of the voice actors is spot on and even the animation is fairly good despite the bad rep of Hanna-Barbera. This program is delightful; Fred gets a job working as a department-store Santa, only to end up being asked to take over the duties of the real Claus when he--guess what?--gets sick. On its own, this is a five-star piece.
