The curious similarity between secret agent Rock Slag and Fred Flintstone is uncanny. It's this similarity that lands Fred the job of filling in for Slag when he's injured in Bedrock. His assignment is to stop the terrible Green Goose from destroying the world and that quest takes him to Paris and Rome.
This full length feature is the first one starring the popular characters and, though silly, has a flashy sixties style to it. Listen for the voice of Harvey Korman as Chief Mountmore. Also featured are voice artists Janet Waldo and Paul Frees.
This is marginally well known to the general public and very well known to fans of
The Flintstones and fans of cartoons in general. It's available on DVD and can be watched on Veoh. Above are the opening credits, uploaded to YouTube by alexmystyleno3.
Obscurity factor: 2 (somewhat known to the general public, on DVD and Veoh)
I saw this at a Saturday afternoon kiddie matinee in the early-1970s on a double-bill with "Hey There, It's Yogi Bear!"
ReplyDeleteFYI - New Audiobook: Yabba Dabba Doo! The Alan Reed Story (the original voice of Fred Flintstone) Look for it on Amazon.
