Quotes

Betty Rubble: Hoppy, where's Bamm-Bamm?
[pops his head out of Hoppy's pouch, which she finds funny]
Betty Rubble: Oh, for goodness sake! Get to the table.
Barney Rubble: [hops to the table with the baby in the pouch] Okay, you can sit there, Bamm-Bamm. But don't drop any crumbs in Hoppy's pouch.

User Reviews

Fred's job as a Department Store Santa- and more!

"Just wait there Santa...I'll have the tree fixed in a jiffy!" With phrases like this, songs like 'Merry Christmas is my favorite time of year' and 'Dino, the Dinosaur' how could you miss creating a great, memorable Christmas treasure?

This animated short is a tradition at my house- It just isn't Christmas unless we watch the original Flinstone's Christmas episode.

Filled with songs, merriment and a special feeling of holiday cheer that no other Flintstone's episode had. Don't miss adding this Christmas title to your Holiday schedule this year- and every year. For kids? Huh- who said? Merry Christmas!
