"A Christmas Carol" Parody #3: The Flintstones

A Flintstones Christmas Carol isn’t a direct parody of the classic story, but the story is told.  The Flintstones characters partake in the Bedrock community theater’s production of the story, and during the performance Fred (who is the star, Ebenezer Scrooge) learns his lesson about being selfish, egocentric, and stingy in real life.  It’s a pretty simple premise and a pretty simple movie.  Had the whole Bedrock gang in it being their usual enjoyable selves and getting to act the roles you would expect (Barney is Bob Crachit, Bamm-Bamm is Tiny Tim, Wilma ended up being the Ghost of Christmas Past, Belle, and a charity worker).  It’s pretty much an extended The Flintstones episode, except the animation looks much better since the movie was created in the 90’s instead of the 60’s.  Actually, they did a very good job at fitting in a lot of the story into a seventy minute movie; far better than some.  I consider this a must have movie for any family or Flintstones fan!
