I've reviewed alot of stuff featuring The Flintstones from there live action movies to some of there animated films and the odd special but this special i'm about to review i can honestly say i'm not to sure what rating to give it so here are my thoughts of The Flintstones: Little Big League.
What little story there is involves Fred and Barney coaching rival baseball teams and that's really it yeah when i said little story i wasn't freaking kidding that's all the story you get from this special and while i can see it working since the whole thing with The Flintstones was there meant to be the modern American family in the stone age here tho it just doesn't work.
Returning are Henry Corden , Mel Blanc , Jean Vander Pyl and *sigh* Gay Autterson Hartwig. The returning actors give solid performances altho i will say that Mel's voice for Barney is sounding more and more worn out but all of them out done by one name Pamela Anderson as Pebbles now my quack team of researchers spent a whole five minuets on IMDB and found out this wasn't the same Pamela Anderson from Baywatch but she still is actually pretty solid as now the pre teen pebbles.
Now getting a bit of an-upgrade is the animation don't get me wrong it still looks cheap but now it's more in line with how cheap the animation for the show was which is vast improvement from the quality of the animation in the previous special.
Now since Pebbles is a pre teen in this special they give her more mature problems gone are the days when her biggest fear was being cast in terrible live action version of her own family. In this special her main focus is to simply spend more time with Fred since Bamm-Bamm and Barney are spending alot of time together and honestly that story was the most interesting part of this special and it's just a shame they resolve it not that long into the special since that alone could have carried the whole thing.
There are a few good gags mostly with how the dinosaurs are used in Baseball and the fact that Fred gives everyone's son a spot on the team to get out of doing things but apart from that there's very little funny but there's quite alot of sexism in this special and all of it is coming from Fred like the only reason he won't let Pebbles join his team is because she's a girl and the reason why he won't help Wilma clean up is because she's a girl that's not me making up a reason that's the reason they give in the special.
Overall i think if your a fan of The Flintstones you'll enjoy this more then non fans will since it has the characters acting in character but with that being said there are alot of problems with this special so i honestly have no clue what rating to give this special but i can say if your fan of the Flintstones then go and see this special.
