Le chant de Noël des Pierrafeu

Bart Simpson once put it best when he said that TV writers have been milking the 'Christmas Carol' goat for years. Nearly every established animated franchise (as well as some sitcoms and soaps) have cut and pasted Charles Dickens' novel over the years, from Mickey Mouse to Mr. Magoo.

The Flintstones manage to do it a little bit better though, by giving the story a meta-fictional edge, much like Scrooged. Fred is busy preparing for his role as Ebenezer Scrooge for the Bedrock Community Theatre, so much so that he's been neglecting his own friends and family in order to boost his performance. The line between fantasy and reality blurs as Fred/Scrooge is scared straight by the three ghosts,

A very good Xmas Special, though I'm still not sure how the holiday is exists in the prehistoric era, or how a 19th century novel manages to exist either. Either way, it certainly worth watching.

While probably an unpopular choice to be one's favorite, I can't help but love it. I like that it doesn't just go off into one of two directions, it could have just been a 'recording' of the play, or even have the play be a side-thing, but I feel as though they managed to strike a balance where neither aspect overstays its' welcome. While some jokes may have been changed to fit the Hungarian dub (which is the one I watch) I do think it's also a pretty funny movie at times, then again I don't really watch movies for them to be funny so I don't care too much. Overall, it's a nice watch, even when not in season.

I like this movie, it's super cute and a good remake of the classic!

This is on Boomerang now as I write the review.

I still have a hard time getting past the new voices, so that could be a part of it for me. They just aren't the same without the classic voice actors.

The animation is actually quite nice. The new voice actors do a good job even though I am so used to the classic ones. They hold true to the story with a fun back-story.

It's a cute re-tell, but is one that I wouldn't miss if I never saw it. If this is on & there isn't much else worth watching then have a go at it.

A VERY FINE FEATURE FILM/CARTOON/ANIMATION/PLAY. I Love it. It is recommeded highly by me! Very funny rendition, even though I think it is just a bit to overdone. But, nonetheless, it is very great, and, if it were real people, Fred Flintstone would be the best Scrooge!!
