Cave Kids (also known as Cave Kids Adventures) is an animated series and a spin-off of The Flintstones starring Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm. It was produced by Hanna-Barbera Cartoons and aired on Cartoon Network from September 21 to November 9, 1996.

Plot

The show follows the adventures of Pebbles Flintstone and Bamm-Bamm Rubble as prehistoric pre-schoolers with Dino, the Flintstones' family pet dinosaur, as their babysitter. Unlike the original 1960s Flintstones series and its spin-off incarnations featuring the kids and their parents in slapstick comedy adventures, this show focused more on educational values and lessons for children. The Hanna-Barbera series was made due to the success of Nickelodeon's Rugrats. An earlier Cave Kids effort was published by Golden Press, both as a Little Golden Book in 1963, and also as a Gold Key Comics series spanning 16 issues from 1963 through 1967.
