Tress MacNeille has such good range. Her voicing Fred through Wilma was spot on.
So good i legit thought it was another VA that took over
She played Warner sister is dot does pretty 😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 guest star ✨✨✨✨ of voice.
That’s Yeardley Smith doing the therapist, right?
@@DannoHungActually it’s Zelda Rubenstein. She was from the Poltergeist movies. Close, though!
@@Bitsy83 Ah! Thanks for the correction.
I love how the therapist reminds me of Madam Foster Style-wise
i'm getting zelda rubenstein (schwartzenquartz) vibes
yup, looked it up and its definitely her!
I was thinking the same thing
@@phoenix.maximus thank you for looking it up, I was thinking the same thing!! ❤
you're all wrong, it's nedra volz
Man, I remember seeing this exactly once when it first aired, and then it disappeared like a Boeing whistleblower. I was beginning to think I'd dreamed the whole thing up.
Same, maybe it aired just once and we got lucky
It might have been a test series. I don't know about everyone else, but I was not too fond of the art style.
It was a pilot for a reboot that never got picked up.
@@howlygame-on507yeah it never got a home release but thanks to bootlegging, it can now be found in its entirety on the Internet Archive for free.
@@scatman786 No, it was just a television film, not a proposed pilot.
Their marriage has always be on the rocks.
😜
Was that a pun? Lol
@@chloe-stephlis6281 Yes
Badum crash
😂🤣😂🤣
“Wilma Flintstone, a natural red-head!?”
Oh yeah, it’s all coming back to me now 😆
It was in that moment Fred knew he had f&%$ed up. Lol
" _AAAAAAAHHHH!!!_ "
Aaaaand cue the theme music!
Is that what the blind man said as he peed into the wind?
Boys, one thing you must never do is reveal a woman's natural hair colour. You do so on pain of death.
Please explain.
The flint stones in the style of the powerpuff girls and dexter’s labatory
To me it seemed way more in the exaggerated stylings of The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.
Ironically, the style of Powerpuff Gurls and Dexter's Lab was based on classic Hanna Harbera cartoons from the 1960s such as The Flinstones.
So drawn by Gendy Tartikovsky?
Maxwell Atoms did the Character Layouts and worked very closely with CN with KND, Cow and Chicken, etc. I imagine that's why it's very similar to those styles.
@@VidzOnComputer Nah, it resembles Dexter’s Laboratory way more.
A few years ago, I tried to share this special with my parents for Dad’s birthday, but unfortunately, they couldn’t go beyond the opening scene here, as to them, their memory of Fred and Wilma Flintstone was too pure and amicable for them to imagine them on this level of animosity with each other. Mom especially couldn’t conceive of Fred ever being that mean-spirited or dismissive. I felt really ashamed. It was the one sign that proved to me once and for all that the storytelling values of Savino and Smith, at least before Savino’s disgrace, never fit with my or my family’s better convictions.
wow
They must have watched the show after Pebbles got introduced likely
@@rayvolution4971 They actually did. Which is why their idea of a healthy marriage doesn’t include spats over petty differences, which Fred and Wilma had until they obviously had to set a better example for Pebbles.
@@matthewtuerffs6503 wow this is the first time having a child helped a couple that fights a lot.
No surprise, I got as far as 45 seconds and I've had enough.
In a way, Warner Bros. is like Nintendo when it comes to media-preservation. People want to be able to have access to all their productions. But unfortunately, they don’t just don’t release them through either modern accessibility or in WB’s case, give them physical media copies. And if they do with the latter, it’s usually missing some stuff like the Ed, Edd, n, Eddy Complete Series. (It’s ironically a scam that they marketed as “complete” when it really wasn’t!)
Not just Nintendo has a preservation problem, the whole country of Japan does. There's so much media which wasn't preserved in Japan. It's rather less likely for Western animation to have a preservation crisis in this case.
At least Nintendo can hide behind the fact that emulation can be difficult (though it's far from an iron-clad excuse). Warner doesn't have a leg to stand on!
If you look at the box collection for the Beverly Hill Billie's and compare it to the list of episodes online, you'll find there are episodes missing.
And just like any Nintendo product, you could easily find alternate ways to obtain and enjoy their products without paying a dime.
Still waiting on a high quality Eek the Cat. I know its not WB but always comes to mind. I have the vhs rips but would like a nice copy. I wonder if its all the fat jokes about Eek's girlfriend that keeps them away from it in this hyper-sensitive, pro-poor health era
The freeze frame and the specific drawing of Fred absolutely kills me every time
Lol same
Same dude 😂😂😂
That was a look of genuine fear lol
Flintstones-on-the-rocks.jpeg
It’s weird seeing a TV broadcast in this high of quality again, not like the usual VHS recordings often seen in early 2000’s broadcasts.
It really does take me back to watching actual cable TV again, lol.
I did remember seeing this back in 2013 and it was like in terrible quality, but it’s nice to see this but with improved quality
0:44 - "Yes, Mrs. Flintstone, wasabi be the sauce!"
I think that was a glitch.
@@lucascrubjay1914Yeah but a funny one :)
😂
Canonically speaking, this would be before Pebbles was conceived
I think it was before the original cartoon began.
@@MrOuran369 aka the DuMont Honeymooners skits before the CBS era (the mid 50s and the colored Florida years: 1966-1970) in a way since this short would be on par with those earlier skits
I love how they fit so well in this era of art style.
Doesn’t want to kiss Wilma
Only gets mad when she brings up Barney
Not a “natural redhead”?
Fred is a sassy little queen omg
"Wilma Flintstone, a natural redhead?!"
I've always wondered why Wilma got so mad when Fred brought that up. I looked up that redheads are stereotyped as being hot tempered & violent.
The implication is that she isn’t a natural red head
I thought he was implying that she wasn’t a natural redhead and that she just dyed her hair to look cool / tells ppl it’s natural bc her real hair color is bland 😮 I mean it’s a bit weird to not dye ur hair, then lie and tell ppl it’s dyed
@@tiablue9106 Something like that.
@@tiablue9106I was thinkin about this too but idk if she exists in this timeline but how did Pebbles get her hair color if it’s not natural
The drapes don't match the carpet
😎
When I was a kid I always used to hate how Wilma and her mom got on Fred for everything but now as an adult I understand why they were pissed all the time because Fred is a huge asshole
Whatever do you mean, from this clip is clear that in fact both of them annoy the other. Both of them are equally at fault.
@@Limrasson Fred: Comes back from work and want dinner, then hang with his friend
Velma: Do nothing all day, and waste Fred hard-earned money
Yes, equally at fault
@@psycholaw4394 Well I see the scenario as such: Fred is stressed from work which makes it seem like Velma is doing nothing at home, which makes him less likely to show affection. This in turn demotivates Velma who neglects her duties nad gets frustrated and starts complaining all the time. Meantime Fred let himself go and got overweight. Fred is at fault for not figuring out how to handle his own life while Velma is at fault for not being able to help/support Fred.
@@psycholaw4394 Right forgot to mention, but did you notice that Fred didn'T stop the roleplay session until his friend was mentioned? A real bro that Fred.
Why do you people keep calling Wilma Velma? Velma is the Scooby Doo character.
The best intro to a movie ever
Jeff Bergman and Tress MacNeille, New Voices of Fred and Wilma
They are so close to the originals voices. Alan Reed and Jean Vanderpyl
Very interesting voice choices
I remember seeing this on TV when it aired and I couldn't believe it. I thought it was some sort of fever dream.
Same.
That therapist looks funny
She looks like a caveman version of Madame Foster
3:11 It was at that moment he knew...he f*cked up. 😂
Her crazed looks.
🤣
"It was 17 weeks last Thursday."
The fact Fred remembers that is actually kind of amazing.
You can tell it was directed by Chris Savino because of the long pause
this looks so good omg
The therapist voice sounds like Zelda Rubenstein from Poltergeist and also Amy's mother from Everybody Loves Raymond. It could be either of the two because the voice sounds very similar.
And you'd be right. It is Zelda Rubenstein voicing the doc.
@@Ability-King-KKThat’s a funny coincidence, considering ‘Ruby Zeldenstein’ was Roger’s persona in the American Dad episode where Stan and Francine’s marital issues caused a poltergasm™️
@@lateformyownbirththat’s not a coincidence. That was a bit.
I see this Hanna Barbera movie I like it so much.
Fred using the doctor as a shield was ridiculously funny 😂😂
I never seen this for many years. Looks pretty neat though.
I didn’t understand why they wanted Seth McFarlane to bring the flintstones back as an adult cartoon until now. After seeing this I completely get it.
3:41
Fred: I think she might be mad at me.
Figured that on your own, genius? 🙄
🤣
Fred looks funny sitting there
It's his nose🤣😂🤣
I like the attention to detail, with the look of Hanna-Barbera cartoon style of the early 60s.
It's optimistic to hear Wilma say "If it's the last thing we do Fred Flintstone, we WILL work this out". Wilma only sees her marriage working out, it's just a matter of how many bumps Fred wants along the way. I'm juuuuust a little too young to have watched this show, but it's nice to see Wilma being a strong wife instead of a quiet mouse like I always pictured.
I dont think she was ever a quiet mouse in the old show.
He is not bad.
I like this version better than the original. It takes on topics that are more relatable these days. Wilma not a natural red head... they did go there. Lol
I remember this movie!! Good times, good times~
You said it 👍🏻
this was a movie? I wish I saw this
It's bizarre seeing this movie in such good quality.
There's literally no music at the beginning until the opening credits when they freeze frame on the scene.
Ladies and Gentlemen future Loud House creator Chris Savino was involved in this, Yes seriously well more like obvious if you watch the opening credits.
Was he the one that was arrested?
@@riotbreaker3506 No he didn't get arrested, He just got fired from Nick themselves.
@@riotbreaker3506 No he didn't get arrested but he did got fired from Nick.
The same Savino that also worked on season 3-4 of Dexter's Lab, seasons 5-6 of PPG, and also the Foe Paws pilot for CCF's first Big Pick Weekend
Poor Grand Dad...
Jean vander pyl, original voice of Wilma, would be so proud of tress macnellie. Her Wilma is spot on
All this and every other episode went over my head as a kid, now that I'm older I'm siding with Wilma's mother, Fred is a pig and Wilma should be with someone rich and famous.
But truth is most of women choose completely stupid guys
Just like mom and dad 😅
Tress Mcneil is really versatile.
I guess, for a female... still, she doesn't hold a candle to david herman, now that's true talent and unmatched range
Wilma really seems like such a nice person. making fun of her husband SOLELY Based on his Weight.
I wish there was more of this old ladies voice actress, I love her voice
The 2020 "Flinstones: Yabba Dabba Dinosaurs" Boomerang Miniseries' Artsyle is based off these Shorts.
Isnt that show lost?
MY Fred Flintstone wouldn’t reflect on his problems. He‘d enjoy a refreshing smoke and call it a day.
Remember when this was seen as a normal thing in marriage and was only played for laughs….
As another guy said a few comments over, it wasn't. This was an exaggeration, because couples were either much better or much worse to each other (an abuser doesn't go to therapy and sarcastically throws jabs at you, they just go straight for the throat, they go to hurt you). Fred and Wilma would never get like this in the original, and definitely not physical, Wilma breaking a plate on Fred's head would be shocking enough.
It's ridiculous people actually believed this was normal back in the day. Guys this is a cartoon. It was a cartoon then, and it is one today. It's always been satire. A "Can you believe these people?" situation, much like Married with Children, etc.
@@Vespyr_Yeah exactly that’s not to say it wasn’t more common since people didn’t talk about it as much or weren’t able to divorce then. It still wasn’t actually seen as a super good thing.
Like everyone online loves sexy tumblr man villains that kill thousands of people but that doesn’t mean we all actually love that in real life lol
It's a cartoon and for a cartoon they have an appropriate squabble. If I never got a concussion from blunt trauma and objects would respawn off-screen I wouldn't mind if my partner hit me with them either. What you have to look at is the effect, which was normal back then and should be normal right now. Wilma uses a level of violence that doesn't actually hurt Fred and Fred uses no violence because he could easily hurt Wilma. Also he has no reason to either.
Marriage is something that truly develop people but development requires conflict. Just as developing a strong physique requires giving unpleasant challenges to your body and pushing it past its limits. People remaining single for life never truly know what it is to be an adult or a good person.
I remember this opening as a kid, mainly for the scene where Wilma bonks on Fred's head calling him a stupid dummy.
A man was murdered this day XD
Fred- (insinuates his wife isn’t a natural redhead)
Wilma- So, you have chosen death.
As a fan of " The Flintstones " I thought this was hilarious !! Loved the way they were animated, Fred's face expression was really funny !! 👍👍
*Quitting is for Losers! Winners see it through!* 🏆
Wilma portraying Fred was comedy cold
2:52 - 3:10
Fred: “Wilma Flintstone, a natural redhead? 👩🏻🦰 ”
Me: oooh shit, he said the *WRONG* thing!
Wilma: *FINISH HIM!!* 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This movie always felt like a fever dream.
I actually have the full episode no I tried to upload segments and wouldn't let me.
Damn, Fred can produce tears on demand? Never knew he was such a natural actor!
Some marriage counseling session that was!🤣
Damn, this was on ONCE and as far as I know it's never been on anywhere since. Their hotel bathroom had a toilet and a bidet - Barney mistook the bidet for a drinking fountain. Characters that were so grumpy that they put the "fun" in "dysfunctional".
3:11 This frame is perfect
I vaguely vaguely remember this. I definitely remember the shot of Wilma yelling and the freeze frames!
This was funny as hell
great to give us new shows.
Love the jazzy and bigband music of the Flintstones theme, they arranged it excellently here. This art style fits magnificently with the type of show this is, having a whole series like this will work, especially if they execute it well.
I feel like this should be on adult swim cause yes I do like the Flintstones
Ah, yes. The one time the Flintstones went dark, and it ruined everything.
Gotta love casual physical spousal abuse played for laughs because it’s the wife doing it to the husband
Jesus on a bike help those two out please!!!
2:50 lol Fred just said *_”Don’t tell no lie bout me and I won’t tell truths bout you”_* 😂
Did you know Seth MacFarlane was planning on doing an adult themed revival series of “The Flintstones”? 😂
They aren’t the only ones with a rocky relationship
Wilma is such a beautiful woman.
This takes me back
They roasted redheads before South Park.
The first ending was good enough, with her furious in mid air and him scared.
Nex next extra scenes are more tamed and spoils it.
3:11 that ridiculously funny face he made 😂
I was saying this to Mackenzie on Wednesday
I miss all the random CN stuff.
Wow!!!
I never knew this thing existed!
A rather simplistic example but still -- an ACTUAL ANIMATION! That's what it looks like, kids.
I haven’t seen this it first aired on tv.
This special really wasn't very good. It's got way too much of that latter day _Dexter's Lab_ and _Powerpuff Girls_ humor where they'd loop animations and sound bites over and over purely to pad out the runtime. That scene where Fred and Wilma are eating dinner in silence other than making awkward noises over and over again for like thirty seconds is a prime example.
The women are both macrocephalic to the point of falling over.
The editing at the credits part was stellar.
I never seen Wilma mad
how does the counselor sound simultaneously 8 and 80.
Voice was spot on 👏👍
this flints my stones
That poor doctor.
Man I really miss this movie flintstone on the rock in animation.😢😢😢😢
I wish they have it on blu ray or DVD?
I remember watching this, it's strange that there's no background music 😮
Holy shit
This definitely wasn't one of the original episodes from the '60s.
I mean you can make up anything for a new generation. That doesn't mean it's deserving of a place with the originals.
3:11 The pay off! She was on the attack!
3:54 He used her as a shield! HA!
4:06 LOL
Only something Fred and Wilma's gynacologist would know...good sticking it to her. Many women are like this today.
i like how wilma says we will work this out while thrashing him. old school man and wife till death do we part you go wilma. Woman Power!!!
3:06 Fred mocking Wilma
This is what the reboot should have been before Seth McFarlane was involved in it.
Acts like an average redhead... looks like Fred has a valid complaint.
The therapist is Zelda Rubenstein!!!
I remember this. Hilarious. A lot of people don’t realize that the Flintstones was never really for kids to be in with.
