The Flintstones: On the Rocks is a 2001 American animated made-for-television film featuring characters from The Flintstones franchise. It debuted on November 3, 2001 on Cartoon Network and was directed by Chris Savino and David Smith.[1] It was dedicated to Hoyt Curtin (longtime Hanna-Barbera conductor and composer) and William Hanna (creator of The Flintstones and founder of Hanna-Barbera Productions with partner Joseph Barbera). This film marks the final time that any original voice actors (namely John Stephenson as Mr. Slate) would appear in a Flintstones project. It was the last Flintstones production until the direct-to-video film The Flintstones & WWE: Stone Age SmackDown!.

It is the only Flintstones production to be produced by Cartoon Network Studios after Hanna-Barbera was absorbed into Warner Bros. Animation in 2001 (Warner Bros. later re-acquired Cartoon Network Studios from Turner Broadcasting System, reuniting Cartoon Network Studios with Warner Bros. Animation, in 2019). In format, the movie was intended to emulate the first 2 seasons of the 1960s series, which was distinctly more mature and aimed at older audiences than the later seasons, and therefore chose to focus more on the relationships between the original core cast of Fred, Barney, Wilma and Betty. The story of the film sets before the birth of Pebbles, where it focus how both Fred and Wilma Flintstone are in a huge jeopardy in their marriage, while the Rubbles decide to take them to Rockapulco for their anniversary vacation, to save their marriage, while there are some situations of two characters that would stand in their way, such as another attractive woman to Fred's smitten eyes and a jewel thief.

Since its original broadcast, the movie has not been released on home video, though bootleg copies exist on various torrent sites.
