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''. |
