Yabba-Dabba Dinosaurs

Yabba Dabba Dinosaurs is an American animated TV sitcom produced by Warner Bros. Animation for the Boomerang's SVOD service, although this never came to fruition, because Boomerang had no convictions towards the negative reactions from the animation community based on one episode that was leaked. It did however air in Europe during 2020, and eventually, after a year-long delay in Canada, the first few episodes aired on Teletoon during the fall of 2020, until all their attention moved onto the Animaniacs revival for not only first-run showings, but also repeated viewings. It is the sixth Flintstones series after The Flintstones.

The canned laugh track has made a comeback, but is employed at completely random times (just like Sports Night). There is also a Hanna-Barbera logo at the end, despite the fact it's still a defunct studio.

The series is about Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm, along with pet, Dino, who venture into the unexplored Crags outside of Bedrock, where new dinosaurs are waiting to be discovered and potentially harassed by the scientifically curious Pebbles and meat-headed Bamm-Bamm.

This is the second series after Cave Kids to star Pebbles, Bamm-Bamm, and Dino, although unlike that series, the parents are included, who now barely read like their original counterparts, so, pros and cons.

It's also notable for cameos by the Great Gazoo from The Flintstones, Moonrock Crater from The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show, and Captain Caveman, who's only called Caveman (or Oomf) at this point.

Development
In early 2016, character designer Chris Battle was one of the artists tasked with creating a new series called Yabba-Dabba Dinosaurs!, about a much younger Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm, which came close to being made into a pilot, before being put on hold.

Aftermath
On December 12, 2018, Will Terrell an artist on Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz, another Warner Bros. Animation-produced series, announced that his series, Wacky Races, and Yabba Dabba Dinosaurs had been canceled. Joe Apel, who worked as an artist on Yabba Dabba Dinosaurs, confirmed this abrupt cancellation since the series was intended for two seasons. All the storyboard artists had been laid off that same month.

Two other Caveman/Oomf episodes had been written, where he would travel to Bedrock, and then join a circus gaining the moniker of Captain Caveman.

Joan Ford, writer of "Dawn of the Disposals", which introduced Shaley, was a male to female transgender cave kid, but the cancelation of the series prevented that revelation from occurring.

Music
The music is composed by Alessandro Tabora, while the theme song is written and performed by Mark Marek.
