Rock with the Flintstones on Cartoon Network this week
For fans of the Flintstones who have been regaling Cartoon Network audiences for the last few years, there is another treat in store.
The network's new franchise Cartoon Theatre will present the Indian television premiere of The Flintstones: On the Rocks on 31 March. This 90-minute film showcases the crazy and comical adventures of the modern stone-age couple, Fred and Wilma Flintstone. The excitement begins when Fred and Wilma set off on an exotic vacation to add a spice of romance to their married life. However, during the course of the trip Fred upsets Wilma by his ruff 'n' tuff attitude. A twist in the plot sees Wilma's handbag getting switched with that of a jewel thief.
The plot thickens when Wilma starts to believe that Fred has bought her an expensive diamond pendant and the thief begins to court her to get the jewel back. This sets off a chain of amusing and riotous events including a dramatic chase scene. Finally, peace is restored when Fred and Wilma reunite happily at the end of the film.
The special feature will air on the network at noon and again at 8 pm.
The Flintstones are one of the most widely recognised cartoon characters ever created for television. The Flintstones was also the first animated sitcom on television featuring human characters to be shown during prime time. The show gains its appeal due to the pre-historical setting of Bedrock and the wacky inventions encountered during the course of every show.
