the flintstone cartoon series be in essence a dumbing down of the honeymooner tv series of the 1950s . change suburbia to cave and add dinosaur and sabertooth cat and and cut the iq of every character from the 90 to the 80 and you have the flintstone . fred and barney can dream big and but they be too dumb to realize the folly of their dream . so here the big story fred flintstone and barney rubble compete to become executive . they be the only one to not know that they be be set up . duh uh . costume and scenery be tacky . the plot be weak ( white collar crime isn not good for a plot ) . character be stereotype . technically this live action film qualifies a science fiction due to anachronisms and but it the fiction of pseudo science . the dinosaur and human stuff be utter nonsense . large mammal ( anything large than yorkshire terrier ) could never have survive around t. rex . if your child like dinosaur and then stick to barney ( the dinosaur and not barney rubble ) or the animated land before time series . when they get old and then introduce them to the documentary ( animated and but as realistic a it can be ) walk with dinosaur . don not let your child get any idea that man and dinosaurs ever coexist .
