Dates are in order of release:

  • United States: March 30, 1966 on ABC

Behind the scenes

  • In the opening credits, Alan Reed and Mel Blanc are credited as the Caterpillar(s), but within the movie, they are still called Fred and Barney. They don't seem to be their Flintstones selves, but they sure act like it, nonetheless.
  • The White Rabbit refers to the L. Frank Baum's 1900 book (and later MGM's 1939 movie) The Wizard of Oz.
  • The Dormouse said "S'alright" in an allusion to what Spanish ventriloquist Senor Winces would say.

Errors

  • An unrelated girl called Alice also falls into Wonderland. What are the chances of that?
