Celebrate the solstice in Stone Age style with these two animated holiday classics, starring America's favorite pre-historic family. Your first course of holiday cheer from Fred and co. is 1977's A Flintstone Christmas, in which Fred and Barney must save Christmas when Santa sprains his ankle. There's one big problem, though: Fred promised Mr. Slate that he will play Santa at the Children's holiday party. Can Fred and Barney deliver all the toys, and still make it back to the party in time?
And your second course is 1993's Emmy-nominated A Flintstone Family Christmas, which gives viewers a glimpse into the later life of the Rubbles and the Flintstones. Awaiting the return of Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm (now married and with children of their own), Fred and Barney encounter a criminally inclined "caveless" youth. Fred and Wilma attempt to instill values in the boy, only to find themselves with a most unexpected Christmas gift.
Today the folks at the Warner Archive Collection gave us an early present by releasing
The Flintstones - A Flintstone Christmas Collection on DVD! This single-disc title contains the two holiday specials named in the studio description quoted above, running 72 minutes in all and costing $14.95 SRP. Video is full frame, and audio is in English mono, as originally broadcast. It is available today,
September 27th. This MOD (manufacture on demand) title is currently available only from the WBshop online studio store (see button link below), so it only ships to U.S. destinations.
