Flintstones Reboot is coming from Super Mario Bros Movie Directors

Directorsย Aaron Horvathย andย Michael Jelenic wanted to reboot “The Flintstones”. The team of directors most recently brought us The Super Mario Brothers animated film, the highest-grossing film of 2023 and the highest-grossing video game film of all time, with 1.3 Billion dollars at the box office. Reviving nostalgic properties is a specialty for the directing duo, who have also brought back Thundercats Roar, Elf: Buddy’s Musical Christmas, and Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders.

The news of this latest project broke via an interview with Warner Bros. Animation’s Bill Damaschke, who sat down with Deadline. The film will serve as an origin story for the family and is called “Meet the Flintstones.” This project would be the latest in the long line of attempts to restore the classic animated franchise.

The Flintstones is an animated television series that first aired in 1960 and became one of the most popular and enduring animated sitcoms of all time. It was created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, the founders of the Hanna-Barbera animation studio. The show is set in the Stone Age and revolves around the lives of two working-class families, the Flintstones and the Rubbles.

The main characters are Fred Flintstone, a brash and well-meaning but somewhat dimwitted quarry worker, his wife Wilma, their daughter Pebbles, and their pet dinosaur Dino. The Rubbles are their best friends and neighbors, consisting of Barney Rubble, a more easygoing and less impulsive friend of Fred’s, his wife Betty, and their son Bamm-Bamm, who has extraordinary strength.

The show humorously depicts the modern Stone Age lifestyle, with the characters using prehistoric versions of modern-day technology such as cars made out of stone and wood, animal-powered household appliances, and dinosaurs as pets and machines. The Flintstones often find themselves in humorous situations and adventures, which serve as a backdrop for social commentary and satire.

The Flintstones was notable for being the first animated series to air during prime time on American television. It ran for six seasons, totaling 166 episodes, and was later followed by several spin-offs, TV specials, movies, and merchandise. The show’s enduring popularity has made it a cultural icon and an influential part of animation history.

There have been several Flintstones movies released over the years. The most well-known and popular Flintstones movie is simply titled “The Flintstones.” It was released in 1994 and is a live-action adaptation of the original animated series.

“The Flintstones” movie was directed by Brian Levant and starred John Goodman as Fred Flintstone, Elizabeth Perkins as Wilma Flintstone, Rick Moranis as Barney Rubble, and Rosie O’Donnell as Betty Rubble. The film follows the same premise as the animated series, depicting the daily lives and misadventures of Fred and his friends in the Stone Age town of Bedrock.

In the movie, Fred Flintstone is promoted to an executive position at the quarry and becomes involved in a scheme orchestrated by his boss to embezzle company funds. The film combines humor, slapstick comedy, and modern technology parody to recreate the Stone Age world in a live-action setting. The movie received a generally positive response from audiences and was a commercial success.

There have been other Flintstones movies released as well, including “The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas” (2000), which serves as a prequel to the 1994 film, and various direct-to-video animated movies featuring the Flintstones characters.

The Legend of Zelda is a popular video game franchise created by Nintendo, which began in 1986 with the Nintendo Entertainment System. The games revolve around the adventures of a hero named Link, who embarks on a quest to rescue Princess Zelda and save the fantasy kingdom of Hyrule from various threats, primarily the antagonist known as Ganon or Ganondorf.

The central theme of the Legend of Zelda series is the eternal struggle between good and evil, embodied by the courageous Link and the powerful Ganon. The franchise combines elements of action, adventure, puzzle-solving, and exploration within a richly detailed world.

Each game in the series typically follows a similar narrative structure. Link, often portrayed as a young hero, is chosen by destiny or circumstance to wield the Triforce, a sacred relic that grants immense power. Princess Zelda, a recurring character and member of the royal family, usually possesses wisdom and plays a pivotal role in the story. Together, Link and Zelda aim to thwart Ganon’s plans and restore peace to the land.

The gameplay typically involves Link exploring various dungeons, solving puzzles, battling enemies, and acquiring new weapons, tools, and abilities. These items and abilities allow Link to overcome obstacles and progress through the game’s storyline. The Legend of Zelda games are known for their expansive worlds, intricate level design, memorable characters, and immersive storytelling, perfect for a crossover to the big screen.

While the core elements and themes remain consistent throughout the series, each game offers a unique storyline and gameplay experience. The Legend of Zelda has become one of Nintendo’s most successful and enduring franchises, captivating players with its blend of action, exploration, and a sense of adventure.

SharkFest


BULL SHARK BANDITS

Shark biologists Dr. Johan Gustafson and Dr. Mariel Familiar Lรณpez investigate rising reports of bull sharks stealing from fishermen in Weipa, northern Australia. Could this methodical and radical shift in behavior provide new evidence of shark intelligence? To find out, the team deploys groundbreaking experiments and technology, including a new prototype diving cage.

SHARK EAT SHARK

Around the world, reports of shark-on-shark attacks are on the rise. Now, off South Africaโ€™s dramatic southern coast, a new hotspot has emerged โ€” a bay where white sharks hunt other sharks. In a groundbreaking investigation, Enrico Gennari and Lacey Williams lead a team of experts into the deep to capture conclusive evidence of SHARKS EATING SHARKS!


SAVED FROM A SHARK

The scientific community is divided as to whether dolphins or whales will deliberately save a person from a shark attack. But the people who have lived through these terrifying encounters donโ€™t doubt what happened.


WHEN SHARKS ATTACK 360 (Six-Episode Series)

An international team of experts hunts for clues as they investigate why sharks bite humans. They unravel the surprising threads that link these incidents. As the evidence mounts, they analyze data in a cutting-edge VFX shark lab to understand in forensic detail why sharks attack.


RETURN OF THE WHITE SHARK

Hundreds of great white sharks have recently appeared on the doorstep of one of Americaโ€™s most popular tourist destinations, hunting in ways never documented before. To understand why the sharks are here and what this means for Cape Cod, a team of scientists are studying this new phenomenon to try to keep people safe. Are the sharks changing the natural ecosystem โ€ฆ or restoring it?


BULL SHARK VS. HAMMERHEAD

In Florida, a rare event between top ocean predators was captured on video: bull sharks attacking a great hammerhead. Dr. Heithaus and a team of shark experts launch an investigation pinning one against the other. They put experiments to the test to see what happens when these top predators come head-to-head.


SHARK BELOW ZERO

White sharks have been spotted across Canada as far north as the coast of Newfoundland. After the first suspected white shark attack in Canada for over 150 years, experts Greg Skomal, Heather Bowlby, Megan Winton and Warren Joyce investigate what drives white sharkโ€™s journey to the northernmost limit of their range.


SHARKANO: HAWAII

To find out why sharks are drawn to Hawaiiโ€™s volcanoes, biologists Dr. Mike Heithaus and Dr. Frances Farabaugh free dive with one of the most dangerous sharks: the tiger shark.


WHEN SHARKS ATTACKโ€ฆAND WHY (Eight-Episode Series)

From Americaโ€™s coastlines to exotic beaches around the world, shark attacks are becoming more unpredictable. Many of these attacks occur suddenly, in large numbers and in unexpected locations โ€” puzzling locals and scientists alike. Experts investigate these mysterious incidents to discover what is affecting some of natureโ€™s most feared fish.


SHARKS VS. DOLPHINS: BAHAMAS BATTLEGROUND

In the Bahamas, more than 30% of dolphins have shark-bite scars. With a never-before-seen non-toxic gel bite pad and life-sized dolphin decoy, Dr. Mike Heithaus and Dr. Valeria Paz collect bite impressions from three shark species that might be the predators. Bites from bull sharks, tiger sharks and great hammerheads โ€” up to 14 feet long โ€” are compared to scars photographed on dolphins.
