Production notes

In the wake of age-regression successes like Muppet Babies, Hanna-Barbera sent one of its most beloved properties even further back into the Stone Age. The Flintstone Kids cast "Freddy," Barney, Wilma, and Betty as 10-year-olds, while pet dinosaur Dino was a mere pup.

Also knocked down to junior size was Fred's future boss, Nate Slate. The show also added several new characters to the Flintstones pantheon: Ed and Edna Flintstone (Freddy's parents), Robert Rubble (Barney's dad), bully Rocky Ratrock, prehistoric prima donna Dreamchip Gemstone and junior detective Philo Quartz.
