The Flintstones	comment	The Film of the Series of The Flintstones directed by Brian Levant, produced by Amblin Entertainment and Hanna-Barbera, and distributed by Universal. It was the first Live-Action Adaptation of a Hanna-Barbera cartoon.Fred Flintstone (John Goodman) gives some money from his and Wilma's (Elizabeth Perkins) bank account to Barney Rubble (Rick Moranis) so that he and Betty (Rosie O'Donnell) can adopt a child. After the Rubbles adopt a cave boy named Bamm-Bamm, Barney resolves to pay Fred back someday. Later, Cliff Vandercave (Kyle MacLachlan), an executive vice-president at the Slate & Co. quarry, has the workers take an exam, offering vice-presidency to whoever gets the highest score. When Barney sees that Fred got the lowest score on the exam, he trades scores with him as payback, and Fred ends up becoming a vice-president because Barney's was the highest score. Unfortunately, Fred's first duty as vice-president is to fire Barney because he (or rather, Fred) got the lowest score. With Barney unable to get a new steady job, the Rubbles have to move in with the Flintstones, causing tension to mount between the families. As if that isn't enough, Cliff plans to embezzle the company out of billions of dollars and frame Fred for it...The film also stars Halle Berry as Sharon Stone, Richard Moll as Hoagie and Elizabeth Taylor in her final major onscreen appearance as Pearl Slaghoople.The film was released on May 27, 1994. A prequel titled The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas was released six years later. As adaptations go, this is probably one of the most faithful to source material you can find. Of course, it also helped that series creators William Hanna and Joseph Barbera were supervising the whole project as executive producers.

As a result, Fred signs a bunch of forms without reading them, and they turn out to be termination notices for all his colleagues who dig in the quarry. The dictabird even tells him "only an idiot signs something before reading it."

After several serious company shenanigans, Cliff threatens Fred and Barney's children, Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm, by putting them on an enormous rock-crushing machine. When Fred wrecks the machine after rescuing the children, Cliff tries to abscond with the money, but a liquid substance from the damaged machine flows out and down over the high ridge that the machine is sitting upon. Cliff, and the audience, can only watch in horror as the substance (later revealed to be concrete) splatters all over him and encases him forever, from his point-of-view.

After Cliff's schemes are exposed, the guy crosses the line by kidnapping Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm and trapping them on a giant mining machine. Even turning it on when Fred surrenders the Dictabird to him. Finally, Cliff resorts to trying to shoot Fred, but not before Miss Stone knocks him out with a money bag.

In the film, she's played by Elizabeth Taylor, who is most decidedly not heavy-set. Fred himself is also an example of this. While not exactly a handsome man, he's played by the towering and muscular John Goodman, as opposed to his short and overweight animated counterpart.
