A Flintstones Christmas Carol is an animated made-for-TV movie based on the original 1960s series classic, The Flintstones and on the holiday novel of the same name by Charles Dickens. Produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions, it premiered in syndication on November 21, 1994, and currently runs annually on Cartoon Network or Boomerang. It is also one of the last Hanna-Barbera television productions before the death of one of the creators William Hanna in 2001, and before H-B was absorbed into Warner Bros. Animation. It was also the final time Jean Vander Pyl did the voice of Wilma, prior to her... death in 1999. When Fred wins the role of Scrooge in the play of A Christmas Carol at the Bedrock Community Theatre, he becomes so obsessed with rehearsing lines that he literally becomes greedy and unfriendly towards his family and friends. He doesn't hear Wilma tell him to pick up Pebbles from the cavecare center, and he forgets to kiss Pebbles goodbye when he drops her off. He also doesn't include Christmas shopping on his To-Do list. At work, Fred runs into the most beautiful girl in Bedrock, Maggie, who is playing Scrooge's love, Belle.
