In 1964, there was an episode of The Flintstones, "Christmas Flintstone," that was the first holiday story in the town of Bedrock. This aired on NBC on December 7, 1977 and is nearly the same story.
Fred and Wilma Flintstone, along with their daughter Pebbles, and Barney and Betty Rubble. With their son Bamm-Bamm, are all ready for the holidays, which makes me think that there is a Jesus Christ in the world of the Flintstones, AD before BC.
Wilma and Betty are getting ready for the Bedrock Orphanage benefit and Fred won't be Santa. However, when Mr. Slate asks, he changes his mind. Santa, in a totally different style of animation than anyone else, wrecks his sleigh and Fred has to take over for Christmas. Will he get back in time to save the orphanage event?
Directed by Charles Nichols, who started his career as the animator for Coachman in Pinnochio before working at Hanna-Barbera and later back at Disney on their TV animation.
This film is the first cartoon appearance of Henry Corden as Fred Flintstone, as Alan Reed died earlier the year this was made.
A lot of the music in this is reused from A Christmas Story, another cartoon by the studio, while the song "Hope" is also in Yogi's First Christmas.
