if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Fred Flintstone, that lovable blue-collar caveman from Bedrock, becomes a spy in this feature length cartoon: Hanna Barbara's farewell to the six season television series. Begins with a fantastic mountainside car chase involving two goons and a suave James Bond-like spy, Rock Slag, who looks exactly like Fred. The chase results in Rock being injured: Cut to Fred and his marble-eyed sidekick Barney taking a failed shortcut home. They wind up at the hospital where Fred's given an assignment to replace his double: and the adventure begins.The Flintstones and Rubbles go on a European trip where Fred learns of a nefarious criminal, The Grey Goose, and his plot to blow up the world. Loads of fun action – mostly involving those two thugs attempting to kill Fred. But when various musical numbers are thrown in… the worst concerning the progression of children in the future that has nothing to do with the plot or characters… what begins as a clever spoof gets derailed.But the good stuff returns with a chase through an abandoned theme park: including a nod to Orson Welles's LADY FROM SHANGHAI fun house. What would have made a great hour-long two-part episode, sans the musical interludes, winds up a flawed Flintstone journey – yet even the bad parts are creatively bizarre... it was 1966, after all.For More Reviews: www.cultfilmfreaks.com

A lot of fun even if you're not a FLINTSTONES aficionado. Fred Flintstone manages an all expenses paid trip to Paris for him and Wilma in exchange for some wacky spy work. Of course the Rubbles come along for the fun. This feature length version of the TV series retains all the show's charm, shows off a lot of modern stone age gadgetry (there's a particularly creative bird inside Wilma's camera). It's colorful, fast-paced and goofy. It's also laced with a few truly satiric touches...poking fun at airplane hierarchy, misguided doctors, as well as a bit of La dolce vita. Marred perhaps only by the needless inclusion of some dud songs (save for one performed by the inimitable Louis Prima). Alan Reed does the voice of Fred and Mel Blanc is Barney. Harvey Korman and Janet Waldo also provide various voices. A Hanna-Barbera triumph!

I always thought the scripts for "The Flintstones" TV show were a cut above the usual cartoon. Rife with satirical humor and cutting jabs, many of the episodes made my parents laugh as often as us kids. Too bad, then, that Fred Flintstone's big-screen spy-adventure is loud instead of funny, hectic instead of witty, and woefully extended. Like three sub-par television installments strung together, this trip to Eurock has no juice. The Pebbles & Bamm-Bamm fantasy number is cute, but Fred--mistaken for a spy--takes up too much of the on-screen time. And what's with that title? Since the movie poster has Fred seated backwards in a chair à la James Coburn, I would imagine "In Like Flint-stone" or "Our Man Flint-stone" would be more in keeping with the spy scenario (and more clever, too). ** from ****

This movie based on the famous TV series may be one of the best annimated movies ever made. It is a spoof of James Bond movies of the era. The script is well written with an interesting story line and an exciting ending. The musical numbers are fun too. There is a song that Pebbles & Bamm-Bamm sing where they are dreaming about their futures and the visuals during the song are animated in stick figures that look to be drawn by kids. This has to be the cutest song and animation that I have ever seen.
