Movie Reviews of The Man Called Flintstone
Movie Review: In like Flint
Summary: 4 Stars
Both the releases of "Hey there, it's Yogi Bear," and "The Man called Flintstone" recently got my attention mostly because they both escaped me when I was growing up. I never saw them, and was my chance to see them both based on two beloved cartoon series many a soul watched religiously. Yogi Bear feature is the best of the two, however, because Man Called Flintstone is aimed primarily at young minds. The artwork is in keeping with the fabulous series with many gimmicks and modern innuendos in a primitive world. The story cannot be taken seriously primarily because the villains are buffoons I am sorry to say. The villains in the infamous series was much more striking, and even hit the notes of classic cartoon characters. The songs are not too memorable for a disney graduate, and occasionally annoying.
The real redeeming quality is the keepsake for Flintstone buffs. Even I am forgiving since it is still a piece of cartoon memorabilia whether one approves of this Flintstone format or not of a full length feature musical. I will continue to pursue other Hanna Barbera cartoon archives as well as this one.
Summary of The Man Called Flintstone
Studio: Hanna Barbera Release Date: 08/25/2004 Run time: 89 minutesOne of the odder bits of pop culture cross-pollination from the 1960s, The Man Called Flintstone thrusts Fred Flintstone into the spy game for a feature-length animated musical adventure that's probably best appreciated by die-hard fans of the modern stone-age family. Released to theaters immediately after the network series left the air in 1966, Flintstone reunites the vocal cast from its final two seasons--Alan Reed as Fred, Mel Blanc as Barney, Jean VanderPyl as Wilma, and Gerry Johnson, who replaced Bea Bernadet as Betty--for this tale of mistaken identities and international intrigue. Veteran voice actor Paul Frees is secret agent Rock Slag, who is injured in his pursuit of the villainous Green Goose (Harvey Korman). His identical twin (Fred Flintstone, natch) is recruited to impersonate Slag and continue the chase in "Eurock," with Wilma, Barney and Betty in tow under the pretense of a joint family vacation. Flintstone has its moments, most notably a musical number featuring the voice of Louis Prima, but on the whole, it pales by comparison to the smart writing of the series (which addressed several of the feature's plotlines in individual episodes). Still, Reed, Blanc and the rest are game, and nostalgists may enjoy this rare feature-length outing, which has gone unseen save for sporadic TV broadcasts since its release. Flintstones scholars may note that Henry Corden, who took over as the voice of Fred Flintstone following Reed's death in 1977, provides Fred's singing voice in musical numbers. --Paul Gaita
