What was the name of the 1980s animated series featuring the Flintstones as children?

The 1980s animated series featuring the Flintstones as children was The Flintstone Kids.

Produced by Hanna-Barbera, the series reimagined Fred Flintstone, Barney Rubble, Wilma Slaghoople, Betty McBricker, and Dino as preteen characters. Their stories take place before the original series, focusing on school, friendships, bullies, crushes, and everyday adventures in Bedrock.

The Flintstone Kids premiered on ABC on September 13, 1986, and ran for two seasons, ending on November 14, 1987. It also included related segments such as “Dino’s Dilemmas,” “Flintstone Funnies,” and “Captain Caveman and Son.”

A common mix-up is The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show, another Flintstones spin-off. That 1971 series centered on Fred and Barney’s children as teenagers, whereas The Flintstone Kids specifically de-aged the original main cast. The show was later followed by reruns and helped establish a broader tradition of cartoon characters being portrayed as younger versions of themselves.
