A critically panned live-action adaptation of a beloved franchise has caught the attention of streaming audiences. While the feature was poorly received by fans and critics alike, it generated millions at the box office and sparked a prequel movie that was released a few years later. Over 30 years later, it has found a new audience.

Disney isn’t the only media company producing live-action adaptations of its beloved stories. Other studios have been doing it in the past, turning popular cartoons and comics into live-action movies. One example is Scooby-Doo, which entered theaters in 2002 and boasted a then-unknown James Gunn as a screenwriter. The same can be said for most superhero movies before the Marvel Cinematic Universe and DCU were established.

Recently, the 1994 live-action adaptation of The Flintstones found some success on streaming, landing at #3 on Netflix’s Top 10 Kids Movies in the United States, between Shark Tale and Flushed Away. Directed by Brian Levant, The Flintstones follows Fred Flintstone (John Goodman), who lands a new job as an executive at Slate & Co, but only got the job because his friend, Barney Rubble (Rick Moranis), swapped their tests because Fred loaned them money to help adopt their child, Bam-Bam. Little does Fred know that his new role was just a ploy so Slate & Co.’s vice-president, Cliff Vandercave (Kyle MacLachlan), could swindle the company’s fortune and pin the blame on someone else. Since its release, The Flintstones has received a low 23% critics score and a 25% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes; despite its $341.6 million box office gross, its performance led to the creation of a standalone prequel film, The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas.
