It amazes me just how well this film did

It’s still one of the more divisive cartoon to live action movies but I’ve grown fond of this one over the years. I just love the set design and casting in this, it’s about how I would imagine a live action Flintstones movie being and considering some of the other Hanna-Barbera adaptations that would come after (aka everything not Scoob-Doo), you could certainly do a lot worse than this.
The film is not great, but the casting was absolutely impeccable.
Halle Berry was hot as a cavewoman.
