"THE MAN CALLED FLINTSTONE" was the second of two releases from Columbia Pictures in the mid 1960s-the first one was "HEY THERE,IT'S YOGI BEAR!" that the studio released in 1964! and,,after buying the DVD in 2008,i became enraged,when i discovered that the COLUMBIA logo with "Wilma Flintstone" was not included in the DVD release! Columbia's former TV subsidiary Screen Gems,which was revived in 1999 by SONY,had a very long and prosperous relationship with Hanna-Barbera in the 1960s and early 70s so why they couldn't allow that logo to be used,is both an insult,and an outrage! some history should still be upheld and honored,even though the studio is a SONY owned asset-and both Warners and Columbia had a pretty long relationship,since both studios worked on the Burbank lot! so whatever the exact reasons for this awfully BAD edit of "The Flintstones" first full length movie,it was unacceptable and NOT the same thing i remembered growing up with-this was a great Family film in 1966,when "THE FLINTSTONES" had just finished its six year run on ABC-TV..and that awful edit job,that they replaced the COLUMBIA logo with,just ruined this whole release!

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!

An expansion on the classic TV series, intertwined with 'music videos' before there were such a thing. It has musical numbers, some trying to make a social comment on the times, like the kids singing 'someday when I grow up'. You have to remember that this was during the cold war, and at the beginning of the Vietnam war.This movie has slightly better quality animation, and the familiar characters look a little more detailed like Hanna Barbera spent more $$. I guess with the backing of the Columbia Studio, they had more money to spend. This was also the end of the original Flintstones series, and what a way to go out!It's just a so-so story, as far as The Flintstones go. They never were known for emmy award-winning writing, anyway!I love the original series, whose first season is now on DVD. I remember seeing this at a 'kids matinée' when it was reissued at the theater in the 1970's. Viva La Flintstones!

I grew up watching the re-runs of the original Flintstones and tried to avoid the new Flintstone shows. Some of these new shows had the kids all grown up and many of the original voices were not used or not available. However, the original show, especially before the Great Gazoo(sp) was bought into the series, were great. The only real follow up to the original show that was any good was The Man Called Flintstone.This movie had most of the original voices, except for Betty, and has a good story line. Fred fills in as a substitute for an injured spy and takes on James Bond type missions.I found this film held my attention and when I watch it now it brings back the good memories from when I was a kid. I hope the DVD is released soon.
