2	''Cave Kids'' is an animated SpinoffBabies series of ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'' featuring Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm, in baby form. It first aired in 1996 on Creator/CartoonNetwork, and only eight episodes were made. Of these eight, only six were initially released onto home video, with the other two showing up when the entire series received a digital download-to-own release.

4	!!''Cave Kids'' contains examples of the following tropes:
5	* {{Foreshadowing}}: In a sense. "Cave Kids" was a feature in the Gold Key ''Flintstones'' comic book which featured an entirely different cast of children and none of the show's regulars.
6	* ImagineSpot: It can be argued that an entire episode of the show is one long imagine spot.
7	* InvisibleParents: Fred, Barney, Wilma and Betty are never seen in the episodes. Only the babies. You'd think the main adult cast of ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'' are [[ParentalNeglect horrible parents]] for leaving both Bamm-Bamm and Pebbles in the bathtub or backyard on their own with only Dino.
8	* LiteralMinded: The babies seems to think that China is populated by porcelain plates and bowls.
9	* ThePowerOfFriendship: Exaggerated in that it's the center of every aesop.
10	* SewerGator: The babies encounter an alligator in one adventure where they go retrieve their rubber duck when it accidentally gets flushed down the drain.
11	* ShortRunner: Only eight episodes. Yeah, technically, it was royally screwed by Creator/CartoonNetwork, who probably didn't like how ''saccharine'' the show was.
12	* SpinoffBabies: The show spun off from ''WesternAnimation/ThePebblesAndBammBammShow'' and, by extension, ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones''.
13	* SuddenlySpeaking: Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm speak coherent English in the fantasy sequences. Justified, since they "magically age up" from toddlers to preschoolers while in these segments.
14	* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: [[OnceAnEpisode At the end of every episode]], and it's usually combined with a heaping dose of DisneyAcidSequence for good measure.
15	* WholePlotReference: One episode takes the plot of ''Literature/JackAndTheBeanstalk''.
