The Flintstones/Tropes


 * Adaptational Early Appearance: Wilma and Betty working at the Daily Granite didn't happened until The Flintstone Comedy Hour, which was presumably when Pebbles was a preteen (seen how the series also included shorts of her and Bamm-Bamm as preteens).
 * Casting Gag: John Goodman voices Mr. Slate, after playing Fred in the first film.
 * Mythology Gag: Wilma and Betty work as reporters in The Daily Granite, their job in The Flintstone Comedy Hour.
 * Role Reprise: Most of the film's cast returns from previous media.
 * Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: The film entire basis. The movie throrougly explores how Pebbles' birth caused the Flintstones struggles in adapting as parents.
 * The Stinger: A post-creduts scene has Barney and Betty meeting Bamm-Bamm at their doorstep.
