I love watching cartoons that I grew up watching with my children now. It makes me feel like I am sharing my own childhood happy moments with my kids and making happy moments for them at the same time. When I was asked to review The Flinstone Kids Rockin’ in Bedrock on DVD I was happy to say yes for that very reason. I LOVED watching The Flinstones and The Flinstone Kids cartoons when I was growing up. I loved watching all the movies they came out with and to be honest The Flinstones is probably in the TOP 3 of my all time favorite cartoons of all time! I could not wait to watch The Flinstone Kids Rockin’ in Bedrock with my kids because I knew that they were going to love it!
When The Flinstone Kids Rockin’ in Bedrock DVD arrived my oldest son Cody wanted to watch it right away. So we all decided to have a family DVD night in the middle of the week since homework was completed and everyone wanted to watch it together. We turned it on and I was surprised it was not a remake of the cartoon I grew up with but the actual cartoon episodes that I watched as a child. It almost brought a tear to my eyes. Watching my kids have fun with Fred, Wilma, Barney, and Betty. They were laughing and smiling while watching the same cartoons that I watched when I was 7 or 8 years old on saturday mornings before getting ready to go to my soccer games. The Flinstone Kids Rockin’ in Bedrock on DVD was definitely worth bringing home to share with my children. They also liked the fact that they were watching a cartoon that mommy and daddy liked to watch when they were kids too.
