Well this is probably going to be CG, not to mention a reboot so it doesn't matter if it was "done before".
With that said I doubt this comes out, and if it does it'll bomb. The Flintstones are such an outdated concept, it's not the 60s anymore. Seeing dinosaurs along cavemen is too unrealistic for today's kids, it's like saying the earth is flat, jesus is real, we didn't go to the moon landing. There's a reason the 90s killed the HannaBarbera mascot that was the flintstones, we did not accept that anymore. We knew better.
literally 3 decades of kids know the flintstones as cereal mascots and nothing more, anything more and they're stepping out of their boundaries.


I'm not done slandering The Flintstones.

The Family Guy spin-off got cancelled, a satirical adult look as to why the Flintstones don't work would've been great but I guess there was no interest even for that.
The Pebbles and BamBam cartoon I didn't know it even happened, it was available apparently only a short period of time on HBO Max before they removed it, so it's as if it doesn't exist almost. Must've done some pretty bad numbers to get the Disney+ eliminate at all costs treatment.
Besides that the Flintstones hadn't gotten any cartoons since the 1980s, in fact i think the 80s was likely the last time The Flintstones had any pop culture significance with kids.
The 90s had some reruns and tv movies I think but besides the first live action movie they couldn't even ride the dinosaur popularity that Jurassic Park craze started. Their most important cultural aspect of The Flintstones in the 90s is being cheap toys for Denny's kids meals.

They had a movie in the 2010s that was a crossover with the WWE, but that's because Vince McMahon's son was big into the HannaBarbera Characters and they got the license for cheap. They also made for other dead properties like The Jetsons. Scooby Doo crossover was the only IP that was still relevant at that point, and not even at its strongest point either.

Ironic how Scooby Doo was dead in the 90s and replaced the Flintstones as the face of the company by the late 90s.

Wasn't Seth Macfarlane supposed to make his Flintstone TV series and that got canceled in production?

When was the last Flintstones TV series anyway? Has to be over 25 years ago, right?

I was waiting for Bedrock...the sequel series from Elizabeth Banks. I just saw it's not in development anymore. For now anyway.

It was an awesome idea to set it in the next age of civilization. I was really looking forward to it. Darn it. I really wanted to see this.
