The duo is so iconic that unless you were neighbours with the Flintstones, you’re bound to know them. When the trailer of the newest film adaptation of the cartoon was released three months ago, I wondered why they were taking the Space Jam route.

Just minutes into the new Tom & Jerry, it becomes apparent that the makers wanted to give us more than just slapstick humour.
