Another Monday. To make our work week start better, let's have fun with the story of one of my favorite cartoons.
When we are little, we usually like to watch all the cartoons, we have a couple of favorites, but in principle we don't care… Only that it is cheerful, colorful and funny and that it can hold the fragile children's attention long enough. When we grow up is another story. Then we realize that the cartoonists of our youth were real cartoonists and not this nonsense today, and with a smile on our faces we remember past times and all those evenings we spent reclining in an armchair, laughing at different, quality, animated heroes. And, we would love to go back to our childhood again!
That is why, in order to take you back to those happy times, at least for a short time, I set you up for the hilarious and unusual "The Flintstones"!
"The Flintstones ”is an American animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera. "The Flintstones" is the first animated series that was, in fact, intended for adults and was broadcast in prime time evenings. The plot of this cute cartoon is set in the fictional town of Bedrock in the Stone Age. As such, it represented an allegory of American society from the middle and third quarter of the 20th century.
The main characters are Fred and Vilma Flintstone. Fred is a construction worker, eager for a hedonistic life, infantile, likes to play the alpha male, gets annoyed very easily, but also gets angry, and in fact he is a very warm and caring husband and father. His wife Vilma is smarter and wiser than him, but he has a great passion for spending money. The Flintstones have a cute little daughter Pebbles and a dinosaur pet that barks like a dog, named Dino.

What gives the Flintstones a special charm and what makes them so funny and recognizable is their life with long-extinct animals like dinosaurs and mammoths and their connection to technology. For example, when the heroes use a camera to take pictures, the camera shows a bird carving a picture with its beak into a stone slab. The mammoth cub was used as a vacuum cleaner, the pterodactyl was an airplane, and the electric razor was shown as a shell inhabited by a small beetle that vibrates as soon as the shell pulls down the face of the hero. Their cars were made of stone, leather and wood, and they moved with their feet. Mermaids were birds that "sounded" by pulling their tails.
Each episode of this comic series presents one image from the seemingly monotonous life of the main characters, but full of different adventures that are mostly challenged by Fred.
If you loved this cartoon as a kid, now that you remember it again, head to YouTube for the Flintstones marathon! Have fun and enjoy with the charming stone company!
