The Flintstones and the Rubbles are modern stone-age families. Fred and Barney work at Slate and Company, mining rock. Fred gives Barney some money so he and Betty can adopt a baby. When Fred and Barney take a test to determine who should become the new associate vice president, Barney returns the favor by switching his test answers for Fred's, whose answers aren't very good. Fred gets the executive position, but little does he know that he's being manipulated by his boss to be the fall guy for an embezzlement scheme.Written by

When Fred walks into the board meeting late, Mr. Slate refers to him as "Flagstone." The debut to the original animated cartoon series, (1960 - 1966) was The Flintstones: The Flagstones (1960). See more »

Crazy Credits
The Universal Pictures logo appears in Bedrock fashion: it features a prehistoric Earth with the single continent of Pangaea and reads "UNIVERSHELL". It is also accompanied by the 1960s theme music from Revue Productions (which Universal owned), which is fitting for a 1960s cartoon adaptation. See more »
Alternate Versions
The Hungarian dubbing contains numerous rhyming lines and added puns, referencing the playful, poetic dialogue poet József Romhányi had written for the Hungarian dub of The Flintstones. Most characters names were also changed to those used in the cartoon, with a few exceptions. Bamm-Bamm was called Benö in the show but here he kept his English name, and the Rubbles' family name was changed to "Dorongi". See more »
I thought that the flintstones was a great movie. I just think that pebbles is so cute. But I was just watching The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas tonight with my cousins and I just do not understand why they filmed that one after The Flintstones Movie. Because in the The Flintstones Movie they already have pebbles,bam bam and Dino. But in the Viva Rock Vegas one..Fred wins Dino at the fair, and betty and barney, and fred and wilma just meet. To me it just doesn't make any sense why they wouldn't make the rock vegas movie then the flintstones movie.
