Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDanny DeVito was Steven Spielberg 's first choice for the part of Barney. DeVito felt his acting style was too gruff to properly portray Barney, and turned the part down. Subsequently, DeVito recommended Rick Moranis for the part.
- GoofsIf Bamm-Bamm is supposed to be the world's strongest kid, how did he allow himself and Pebbles to be tied up and captured? Couldn't he have knocked out Vandercave, or at the very least, broken the rope he was tied up with?
- Quotes
Pearl Slaghoople: Oh, you poor, poor dear. You could have married Elliot Firestone, the man who invented the wheel.
[gives Fred a nasty glare]
Pearl Slaghoople: Instead you picked Fred Flintstone, the man who invented the excuse!
- Crazy creditsThe Universal Pictures logo appears in Bedrock style, featuring a prehistoric Earth with the single continent of Pangaea and reading "UNIVERSHELL".
It is also accompanied by the 1960s theme music from Revue Productions (which Universal owned), which is fitting for a 1960s cartoon adaptation.
- Alternate versionsA credit for Mel Blanc as Dino was added to home video versions. The speed of the credits scroll was adjusted to make room without extending the music.

Featured review
GREAT PURE 90'S MAGICAL INNOCENT FUN. Big Nostalgia Love For This Fun Family Flick.
I grew up in the 90's & it was a great time & so much better than today 2019,it seemed such a fun,innocent & happier time & a great time for feelgood family films such as Casper (1995),SpaceJam (1997),Jumanji (1995),Flubber (1998),Small Soldiers (1998),ConeHeads (1993) & many many more that came out during that Awesome time.
The Flintstones was a huge summertime blockbuster that's full of fun & Happy times mixed into a colourful live-action version of the classic cartoon.
I loved this movie when it came (i still do) & i remember so much merchandise & promotion for this,it was everywhere. I had action figures & fridge magnets & cups & all sorts from the movie!!! The Flintstones was huge in 1994!!!
Legendary Steven Spielberg was producer so you knew the effort & budget that went into this project was huge along with the nice Spielberg feel of family & sense of wonder.
John Goodman was PERFECT as Fred Flintstone,he gave a fully fun & often touching performance & is a joy to watch. He really brought the character to life but kept the silly funny feel of fred.
Legendary comic great Rick Moranis was also perfect as freds best buddy Barney Rubble & also plays his role with fun & Heart.
The whole cast is great & seemed to all be having so much fun!!! Rosie O'Donnell was good fun as Betty Rubble & Elizabeth Perkins is great as Wilma Flintstone.
The music is lovely & full of Nostalgia, the production design & sets are absolutely beautiful,they created such a stunningly beautiful world for the Flintstones & it's gorgeous!!!
The Flintstones is harmless,Happy & feelgood fun for the whole family & is a great film from my childhood growing up so i hold a special little spot in my heart for this lovely little comedy.
The Flintstones movie was definitely made in a better time, way better times & it shows in the production of this era piece.
