The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones (1987)

How sad is this?

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Excellent but underrated film

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

'The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones' had an intriguing premise, taking two difficult families and putting them into different universes and meshing them together. Was a little worried as to whether the two would gel but actually it mostly works well, coming from somebody who really likes 'The Jetsons' and loves 'The Flintstones' (still one of my favourites).Not without its flaws by all means. To me the biggest flaw was Judy's rock star romantic subplot, that went absolutely nowhere and was practically neglected. It just felt unnecessary for it to be there in the first place when so little was done with it and like it was there solely to pad out the running time. Too many of the characters have too little screen time, some even completely wasted, and with little to do.Animation quality is uneven, faring better with The Jetsons, where some vibrancy and imagination can be seen, than with The Flintstones, where things look cruder and more rushed-looking.However, both the Jetson and Flintstone families are immensely enjoyable and are well characterised, especially Fred and George. The terrific voice cast, full of highly respected voice actors who give their all and succeed brilliantly, helps hugely. There are some nice small details as well, such as Fred being given his favourite breakfast as a way of persuasion by Wilma for a vacation.Writing is very amusing, perhaps borrowing a little some gags from both shows, but the humour is very true in spirit to both shows, corny but often very funny and smart (especially with The Flintstones). The story deals with the fish out of water premise in a way that's compelling and fun to watch and gives a real sense of nostalgia, which are enough to compensate for its relative predictability and one useless subplot.Overall, interesting and mostly works well. As far as the "Superstar 10" made for TV specials/films go, 'The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones' while not one of the best is a long way from one of the worst. 7/10 Bethany Cox

Prehistory and the space age finally come face to face in this cartoon, as Elroy Jetson's time machine takes the family back to the stone age, where they meet the Flintstones. Then, lo and behold, the Flinstones accidentally get sent to the future, leaving the Jetsons in the past. As anyone might expect, both families have a hard time trying to cope with these new environments. "The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones" is pretty interesting. Granted, it's mostly intended for children, but I would suspect that practically anyone could like it. And overall, seeing what both families experience makes one content to stay in the present, even if the present isn't perfect. A real treat.

when i was like 6 or 7 i watched it and yeah i liked it, a lot, it was a good movie and a perfect re make of the cartoon, but i watched it a few weeks ago, im 14 now, with my little brother and it just seems way out dated, they either should have made it come out back in the 70's or the 80's or not made it at all. 4/10

In this movie, two great Hanna-Barbera families are thrown together when Elroy Jetson accidently time warps his family to the Stone Age. Personally, I like George Jetson. He's funny, so it's easy for me to feel for him when he puts up with Mr. Spacely and the time warp. Mel Blanc can also prove he's capable of playing selfish people, but Mr. Spacely wasn't his best performance. I like Dino better.
