The Man Called Flintstone is an American animated musical motion picture produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and released in 1966 by Columbia Pictures.
The film is a theatrical spin-off of the 1960-1966 television series, The Flintstones, and is considered the official swan song of the classic TV show as it was made immediately following the end of production on the series.

The Man Called Flintstone is a spoof of the James Bond films, and also borrows elements from several episodes of the Flintstone TV series.
In the film, Fred Flintstone (voiced by Alan Reed) is recruited by a secret organization to take the place of an injured agent who happens to be Fred's doppelgänger. His mission: to travel to "Eurock" (under the guise of a family vacation) and catch the evil Green Goose (voiced by Harvey Korman). The catch is Fred is unable to tell his family or friends about the mission. Mel Blanc once again provides the voice of Fred's sidekick, Barney Rubble. The movie includes numerous musical interludes, including one song performed by Louis Prima.
The singing voice of Fred is provided by Henry Corden, who would go on to fully assume the role of Fred after Reed's death in 1977.
The Man Called Flintstone was a minor success upon its original release, but in the succeeding years became more popular at cinema matinees, and on television. In 2005, a North American DVD version was released, however due to licensing complications only a Canadian release occurred; a United States release was cancelled and has not yet been rescheduled.
