The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones

In a rare crossover event, the futuristic Jetsons family and the prehistoric Flintstones family meet when a time-traveling experiment by Elroy Jetson goes awry. The Jetsons are unexpectedly transported to Bedrock, where they must navigate the Stone Age while trying to find a way back home. Meanwhile, the Flintstones and Rubbles must adapt to the peculiar ways and advanced (to them) technology of their new, unexpected visitors.

This animated crossover special was met with mixed to positive reception, primarily appealing to fans of both classic Hanna-Barbera franchises. While not a critical darling, it was appreciated for its novelty and the charming interaction between the two beloved families, offering a fun, nostalgic experience for viewers.

This was one of the last projects Mel Blanc, the iconic voice of Bugs Bunny and many other Looney Tunes characters, worked on before his passing in 1989. He reprised his role as Mr. Spacely and Barney Rubble in this film.
