The Flintstones
Description
"'THE FLINTSTONES' IS FUN!"
— Time Magazine
"PRE-HISTORICAL, HYSTERICAL... GREAT FUN!"
— Joel Siegel, Good Morning America
Did you ever wish your pals Fred and Barney could pop out of their cartoons and come to life? Just shout, "Yabba-Dabba-Doo!" and your wish is granite! Amblin Entertainment and Universal Pictures team up with the director of "Beethoven" to bring you this hit, live-action motion picture about the "modern Stone Age family." John Goodman stars as Bedrock's loudest, most lovable resident, and Rick Moranis is his bosom buddy Barney Rubble. Together with wives Wilma (Elizabeth Perkins) and Betty (Rosie O'Donnell), they're the coolest thing since the Ice Age!
But look out, there's something rotten in the town of Bedrock...Scheming Cliff Vandercave (Kyle MacLachlan) and his accomplice, the slinky Miss Stone (Halle Berry), plan to steal a fortune from Slate and Co., but they need a stooge (Fred!) to take the rap. A sudden promotion — part of the pair's evil plot — lands Fred in the executive suite, and he and Wilma taste the snooty lifestyle of the rich and prehistoric. Meanwhile, Barney's luck takes a drastic turn for the worse. Will success spoil the Flintstones? Will their friendship with the Rubbles be destroyed forever? Will greedy Vandercave have the last laugh?
Overflowing with dazzling special effects, non-stop fun, and music from the "B.C. 52s," The Flintstones features a special appearance by Elizabeth Taylor as Fred's mother-in-law, Pearl Slaghoople. It's "rock-solid entertainment... a brontosaurus-sized hit!" (Michael Medved, New York Post)
