List of The Flintstones media


This is a list of films, television series and media associated with The Flintstones.

Films and subsequent television series

Following the show's cancellation in 1966, a film based upon the series was created. The Man Called Flintstone was a musical spy caper that parodied James Bond and other secret agents. The movie was released to theaters on August 3, 1966, by Columbia Pictures. It was released on DVD by Warner Home Video in Canada in March 2005 and in United States in December 2008.
The show was revived in the early 1970s with Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm having grown into teenagers, and several different series and made-for-TV movies, including a series depicting Fred and Barney as police officers, another depicting the characters as children, and yet others featuring Fred and Barney encountering Marvel Comics superhero The Thing and Al Capp's comic strip character The Shmoo—have appeared over the years. The original show also was adapted into a live-action film in 1994, and a prequel, The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas, which followed in 2000. Unlike its sister show The Jetsons, the revival programs were not widely syndicated or rerun alongside the original series.

Canceled Seth MacFarlane reboot

In 2011, it was announced Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane would be reviving The Flintstones for the Fox network, with the first episode airing in 2013. After Fox Entertainment president Kevin Reilly read the pilot script and "liked it but didn't love it", MacFarlane chose to abandon work on the project rather than restarting it.
Concept art of the series was posted on background artist Andy Clark's website.

''Yabba Dabba Dinosaurs''

Yabba Dabba Dinosaurs is an American animated web television series spin-off of The Flintstones that premiered in 2021, the first to feature them since they appeared in the 2002 series The Rubbles, and produced by Warner Bros. Animation. It was produced by Mark Marek and Marly Halpern-Graser.
Like Cave Kids, the show focuses on the lives of best friends Pebbles Flintstone and Bamm-Bamm Rubble, who are joined by Dino for many adventures in the Stone Age. The show was scheduled to be released as a part of the Boomerang IPTV subscription service. On August 19, 2021, it was announced the series would instead be released on HBO Max on September 30, 2021. The series was set to first air on Teletoon as a regular television series in Canada in September 2019, but ended up airing in September 2020.
The show started airing on February 3, 2020, on Boomerang UK.

Upcoming animated film

In 2014, it was announced that Warner Bros. was developing an animated film with Chris Henchy, Will Ferrell, and Adam McKay, to write the script for the project. Ferrell and McKay would also be executive producers. In 2018, it was confirmed that the project was still in development and produced by Warner Animation Group, at the time it was unknown if crew members would still be involved with the production.
On June 9, 2023, as part of the restructuring of Warner Animation Group, now called Warner Bros. Pictures Animation, it was announced that a new Flintstones movie titled Meet the Flintstones was in early development and is meant to be an origin story to the series. The movie will be directed by Hamish Grieve and Todd Wilderman from a screenplay written by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic. In October 2024, Wilderman revealed the film was in production and teased that the film would blend silliness and emotion and focus equally on the whole principal cast of characters.

Canceled ''Bedrock'' series

In 2019, it was reported that a new Flintstones reboot series, directed to an adult audience, was in development by Elizabeth Banks and her production company Brownstone Productions. In 2021, the series was now co-produced by Fox Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation along with Brownstone and received the title Bedrock. The series would have taken place two decades after the original series with Fred Flintstone on the verge of retirement and a twenty-something Pebbles trying to find her way in life as the Stone Age comes to an end and the Bronze Age arrives. On March 10, 2023, it was reported the series would have also featured the voices of Stephen Root, Amy Sedaris, Joe Lo Truglio, Nicole Byer and Manny Jacinto. It was also reported that Fox had ordered a pilot presentation of the series which was written by Lindsay Kerns. On July 17, 2024, it was reported that Fox chose to pass on the series.

Theme parks

United States

Opened in 1972, King's Island, located in Mason, OH, north of Cincinnati, liberally featuring Hana-Barbera characters and Hana-Barbara Land. On September 22, 2005, Cincinnati's News 5 reported that Hana-Barbara Land was leaving the park as it switched to a Nickelodeon theme.
Bedrock City in Custer, South Dakota opened in the mid-1960s. It closed in 2015 when ownership was transferred, and the new owner could not come to a licensing agreement with Warner Bros. Bedrock City near Williams, Arizona, which opened in 1972, was a spin-off from the same family that owned the South Dakota park.
A Flintstones-themed park existed until the 1990s at Carowinds in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Kings Island and Kings Dominion had a Hanna-Barbera land, in which many Hanna-Barbera characters were featured, including the Flintstones, in the early 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s.

Canada

In Canada, Flintstone Park in Kelowna, British Columbia, opened in 1968 and closed in 1998; it was notable for the "Forty Foot Fred" billboard of Fred Flintstone which was a well-known Kelowna landmark.
Another Flintstones park was located in Bridal Falls, British Columbia, which closed in 1990. Calaway Park outside Calgary, Alberta, also opened with a Flintstones theme and many of the buildings today have a caveman-like design, though the park no longer licenses the characters. The Canada's Wonderland theme park, in Vaughan, Ontario, featured Flintstones characters in their Hanna-Barbera-themed children's sections from 1985 until the mid-1990s.

Other

The Australia's Wonderland theme park, in Eastern Creek, Sydney, featured Flintstones characters in their Hanna-Barbera-themed children's sections from 1985 until the mid-1990s.
Bedrock is one of the themed lands in the indoor Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi park in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, mainly home to the Flintstones Bedrock River Adventure flume ride.

Live theater

A stage production opened at Universal Studios Hollywood in 1994, developed by Universal and Hanna-Barbera Productions, at the Panasonic Theater, replacing the Star Trek show. The story consists of Fred, Wilma, Barney, and Betty heading for "Hollyrock". The show ran until January 2, 1997.

In popular culture

Miles Laboratories and their One-A-Day vitamin brand was the alternate sponsor of the original Flintstones series during its first two seasons, and in the late 1960s, Miles introduced Flintstones Chewable Vitamins, fruit-flavored multivitamin tablets for children in the shape of the Flintstones characters, which are still currently being sold.
The Simpsons referenced The Flintstones in several episodes. In the episode "Homer's Night Out", Homer's local convenience store clerk, Apu, remarks "You look familiar, sir. Are you on the television or something?", to which Homer replies "Sorry, buddy, you've got me confused with Fred Flintstone." During the couch gag of the opening credits of the episode "Kamp Krusty", the Simpson family arrive home to find the Flintstone family already sitting on their couch. The same couch gag was reused in syndicated episodes of "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show", when The Simpsons overtook The Flintstones as the longest-running animated series. In "Lady Bouvier's Lover", Homer's boss, Mr. Burns, appears at the family's house and says "Why, it's Fred Flintstone and his lovely wife, Wilma! Oh, and this must be little Pebbles! Mind if I come in? I brought chocolates." Homer responds by saying "Yabba-dabba-doo!" The opening of "Marge vs. the Monorail" depicts Homer leaving work in a similar way to Fred Flintstone in the opening of The Flintstones, during which he sings his own version of the latter's opening theme only to slam into a chestnut tree.
Family Guy also referenced The Flintstones in several episodes.
On September 30, 2010, Google temporarily replaced the logo on its search page with a custom graphic celebrating the 50th anniversary of The Flintstones first TV broadcast.
