The Bedrock Community Players presents A Christmas Carol, starring Fred Flintsone as Scrooge, Barney Rubble as Bob Cragit, Betty as Mrs. Cragit, Pebbles as Martha and Bamm-Bamm as Tiny Tim. Mr. Slate is Jacob Marbley and Dino even gets a part as the Cragit's pet.

Fred becomes Scrooge through method acting making everyone hate him, as he does stuff like forgetting to drop off Pebbles at day care and also pick her up. He makes his wife do everything. This gets harder for her as everyone in the play gets the Bedrock Bug, which is kind of like COVID-19 or so it seems.

Strangely, this cartoon for kids in no way pulls punches, discussing how Tiny Tim won't make it to next year and featuring Fred lying on his own grave screaming for his life. I have no idea how people explained all of this to their children.

Unlike 1993's A Flintstone Family Christmas, this takes place in the classic Flintstones timeline with Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm still children. First showing up in syndication on November 21, 1994, It was directed by Joanna Romersa and written by Glenn Leopold. It was the final full-length Flintstones project for Jean Vanderpyl (Wilma), Don Messick (Bamm Bamm) and Henry Cohen (Fred). The same year, the theatrical film debuted.

I don't know what turkeysaurus tastes like but I want some.
