Stone Age Cartoons is a 1940 American series of twelve animated short films from Fleischer Studios. The films are set in the Stone Age era, much like the 1960s series The Flintstones. When they did not get the anticipated reception, Fleischer turned their attention to the Gabby cartoon series.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
