The fifth biggest movie of 1994 was
The Flinstones, a live-action adaptation of the animated TV show of the same name. Only four movies (
Forrest Gump, The Lion King, True Lies and
The Santa Clause) managed to make more cash than this Brian Levant directed project, yet today, The Flintstones has basically faded away from the pop culture landscape. Some of that can be attributed to how its cartoon source material has not been as heavily utilized as a source for merchandise and direct-to-video follow-up's as fellow Hanna-Barbera toons
Scooby-Doo or
Tom & Jerry, but it can also be chalked up to the fact that The Flintstones is just thoroughly forgettable fare.
