Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A Flintstones Christmas Carol is a 1994 syndicated TV movie based on the television series The Flintstones.The plot centers around the Bedrock Community Players putting on a stage production of A Christmas Carol, with Fred Flintstone cast in the leading role as "Ebonezer Scrooge". But Fred's constant rehearsals for his part begin to rub off on his character as he forgets to buy his family Christmas presents, leaves Pebbles all alone at cave care and treats his friends like "supporting players" and ends up learning the true meaning of Christmas as he performs on stage.A return to the normal characterizations and ages of the Flintstones's main cast, this is not to be confused with the 1977 special A Flintstone Christmas (where Fred fills in for Santa) or the previous year's A Flintstone Family Christmas (the final installment of the 1993 trilogy of TV specials where Pebbles & Bamm-Bamm marry and have kids.) Notable as the last animated Flintstones production (Cave Kids and short films aside) before Hanna-Barbera was merged into Warner Bros. Animation in 2001.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Adaptation Relationship Overhaul

Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Downplayed in-universe. The play maintains Scrooge's failed relationship with Belle in the flashbacks, but instead of being the lost love of his life, he suddenly wins her back before the ending. This was because of the trope above; Wilma had filled in as Belle earlier and then had to play a member of the charitable foundation that Scrooge bumps into. To apologize for his off-stage behavior, Fred changes the script on the spot by referring to the charity worker as Belle and says he's learned the error of his ways. Wilma goes along with this rather than break character (thus giving Scrooge an even happier ending than usual), though she still wants a formal apology from Fred backstage.

Acting for Two: In-universe examples; Barney plays Bob Craget and Fezziwig, Mrs. Feldspar as Fan and Clara, Mr. Slate as Jacob Marbley and one of the businessmen talking about Scrooge's death in the future sequence, stage manager Wilma filling for several actors who get sick, and Dino playing both the Craget's pet and the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come when the original actor also gets sick.
