The Man Called Flintstone Print Ads

 This last Friday, Cartoon Research's Michael Lyons wrote a fantastic retrospective on The Man Called Flintstone, which celebrates its 60th anniversary this month. I highly recommend checking it out, which you can do right here. I contributed some of my own thoughts about the movie to this post, and because of that, I figured I should have a little something to celebrate the film here. So, without any further introductions, here are some great newspaper advertisements for The Man Called Flintstone during its initial release in 1966.

This first piece advertises the flick at a couple different drive-ins found in New York. It proudly touts this as the Flintstones' first full-length movie, and that it has seven hit songs. Can't say I agree with the latter, but to each his own.

Here's a second, more simplistic advertisement for the movie. This time, instead of having seven hit songs, they mention the film having seven great new songs. This is just me, but I feel like you can't be both in this case.

These next ads are more like a two-in-one deal. The two encourage audiences to both laugh it up and down with the Flintstone family. I particularly like the second one's mention of Fred as a secret agent being a shock. Maybe in the first season or so, but considering they straight-up went to the future at this point, it's not too big of a leap.
