Every Opening Titles to The Flintstones

Описание к видео Every Opening Titles to The Flintstones

I always wanted to try my hand at making something like this.
I'm of the opinion that The Flintstones is one of the greatest cartoons ever made. And it's opening titles sequence was updated a few times during its run from 1960 - 1966. So I grabbed my complete series DVD boxed set, and decided to compile them all.

0:00 - The Intro

0:23 - Season 1 & 2: This version may come as a shock to some. It was a shock to me when I first fired up my DVDs. The season 3 intro replaced this one for syndication packages, but it was restored in the 1990s for Cartoon Network reruns and home media releases.

1:32 - Season 3: The most famous opening credits! After being introduced on the 1961 tie-in album "Songs of the Flintstones," "Meet The Flintstones" officially becomes the theme song. According to Wikipedia, this version was recorded by a 22-piece big band, with vocals by the Randy Van Horne Singers, who performed most of Hanna-Barbera's theme songs at the time. The persistent rumour behind the change is that the original theme song, "Rise and Shine," was too similar to the theme song for "The Bugs Bunny Show."

2:24 - The First 6 Episodes of Season 4: With Pebbles being born at the end of Season 3, this new sequence was created to add Pebbles. As merchandising was a key part of The Flintstones from the beginning, this sequence also include a promo for the toy The Flintstones' Building Boulders. (Yes, it was an actual toy.) You'll also notice that when the foreman pulls the bird's tail, the bird's squawk has been replaced with an actual steam whistle sound effect.

3:16 - The Remainder of Season 4, and Seasons 5 and 6: Bamm-Bamm joined the show in the third episode of Season 4, so the opening titles were updated one last time to finally add the Rubbles.

4:02 - And then I decided to sync up the second, third, and fourth versions of the titles so you can see all the minor edits and differences in timing to make each version work.
