As with Jurassic, anything that wasn’t human was a mix of ILM’s still-then unbelievable CG magic and super-detailed puppetry from Jim Henson’s Creature Shop.

The casting had been much discussed, with fan favorite John Goodman as Fred ensuring that, whatever we thought about the other names playing the characters, at least the show’s lead was the natural choice. The Flintstones have a lot to answer for! Back in 1994, just as the computer graphics of Jurassic Park made everything doable onscreen, the long-gestating “live-action” adaptation of Hanna-Barbera’s groundbreaking cartoon sitcom (the first and most substantial animated show in primetime back in the 60s) finally hit our screens. Scooby, Shaggy, Daphne, Thelma and Fred bounce into three dimensions by way of perfect live-action casting and a dose of doggone CGI trickery, for an initial adventure that has fun with the series’ past, and a second film that successfully gets away with repeating the formula. (2002-2004), Warner Home Video (November 9 2010), 2 discs, 86 and 93 mins plus supplements, 1080p high definition 1.85:1 widescreen, Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS-MA 5.1, Rated PG, Retail: $24.98
