“Yabba-Dabba-Doozie!”
―Pebbles Flintstone as a teenager from The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show


Pebbles Wilma Flintstone-Rubble is the daughter of Fred Flintstone and Wilma Flintstone, granddaughter to Pearl Slaghoople, goddaughter/daughter-in-law to Barney Rubble and Betty Rubble, wife to Bamm-Bamm Rubble and mother to Chip and Roxy Rubble and a fictional character of the original series, The Flintstones and the rest of the franchise.

Background[]

According to the February 22, 1963, edition of TV Guide, Pebbles was born at the Bedrock Rockopedic Hospital on February 22, 10,000 B.C. That particular year was never cited within the show itself; most versions of the show put the Flintstones' era as circa 1,000,000 B.C.

As a preteen, Pebbles was an excellent baseball player, which led to a misadventure involving her father, as seen in the prime-time special, The Flintstones: Little Big League.

By the time she was a teenager, Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm had fallen in love and began dating each other. She was noted for getting Bamm-Bamm and their friends into various misadventures, mostly due to sharing her dad's penchant for schemes that would inevitably backfire. She and her friends, Moonrock Crater, Wiggy Rockstone and Penny Pillar attended Bedrock High School; Pebbles had a catchphrase, "Yabba-Dabba-Doozie!" similar to her father's iconic catchphrase, "Yabba-Dabba-Doo!".

As an adult, Pebbles pursued a career in advertising and married Bamm-Bamm. The newly married couple moved to Hollyrock and eventually had fraternal twins, Chip and Roxy.

Physical appearance[]

Toddler[]

In her famous toddler form, Pebbles is short with fair skin, black eyes, black eyebrows, red hair, red lipstick, White 32 Teeth, and a trademark white bone in her ponytail hair.

In the original series, The Flintstones, she wears a White Diaper, including tan in the third through fifth seasons and Without Clothes and a diaper in colours including White. Also, she mostly wears White diaper for the rest of the franchise.

Child/Preteen[]

As a 9-year-old child in A Flintstone Christmas, The Flintstones: Little Big League, a 10 to 12-year-old in Yabba-Dabba Dinosaurs and a 14-year-old pre teen in The Flintstone Comedy Show she is growing and is slender, plus her hairstyle is a little bit larger.

Teenager[]

As a 15-year-old teenager in the spin-offs, The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show and The Flintstone Comedy Hour, she is tall, and her hairstyle is longer with a short ponytail. In "Groom Gloom," she wore a brown leopard-spotted shirt just like her top as a baby, and a black skirt just like her diaper as a baby; she also wore a ponytail holder just like Wilma's necklace.

Adult[]

As an adult in the three films, I Yabba-Dabba Do!, Hollyrock-a-Bye Baby and A Flintstone Family Christmas, she is now finally grown up, and her hairstyle is now shorter and different.

Personality[]

As a toddler in her most famous form and unlike typical cave-babies, Pebbles is cute, kind, sweet, adorable, innocent, pure, precious, playful, energetic, and fickle, but even though she loves her father, she'll easily replace him with someone she likes including Wilma's old cowboy friend, Bony Hurdle who comes for a visit which Pebbles prefers him and calls him "Dada" in the episode, "Bedrock Rodeo Round-Up" for example.

As a little girl, Pebbles developed a bit of a tomboy streak and was willing to go out for baseball in Little Big League.

As a teenager, Pebbles became more ditzy and energetic, gaining her father’s knack for harebrained schemes and dragging her friends into trouble. In "Groom Gloom," she also had a fondness for Leonard Bernstone's music.

As an adult, she became a working woman with a career in marketing and advertising all sorts of properties and media. Sometimes, she tended to jump to conclusions and was prone to mood swings (e.g., Thinking Bamm-Bamm was writing a 'Dear John’ letter without actually reading it). Regardless, she was still a devoted wife and fell in love with her children from the minute they were born.

Character marketing[]

In 1963, when Hanna-Barbera decided to add a baby to the show, their first choice was a boy. When Ideal Toy Company heard this, company executives approached Hanna-Barbera with a proposal to change the baby character to a girl for which the toymaker could create a doll, and Hanna-Barbera agreed.

The Flintstones first book by Mel Crawford - Little Golden Book

Fred's son, Freddy Jr. from Mel Crawford's original conception of The Flintstones in Little Golden Books.

Pebbles originally being intended as a boy reflected Mel Crawford's original conception of The Flintstones for Hanna-Barbera which was later published as a Little Golden Book before the original series was released, wherein Fred had a son named Freddy Jr. and a pet Brontosaurus named Harvey.

Pebbles, in her conventional toddler incarnation, is sometimes seen in the various Pebbles Cereal commercials. Pebbles also appears on the packages of "Flintstones" children's vitamins and with Bamm-Bamm on the packages of "Flintstones" toddler vitamins, which are manufactured by Bayer Healthcare.

Notes/Trivia[]

  • In the TV film, Hollyrock-a-Bye Baby, Pebbles' daughter, Roxy, has Bamm-Bamm's strength and her son Chip has his grandfather Fred Flintstone's big mouth.
  • Despite appearing before Bamm-Bamm did, she still crawls while he can walk. This could mean that Bamm-Bamm is older than Pebbles or it's due to his strength.
  • Pebbles' pet name for Bamm-Bamm as an adult is "Bammer".
  • Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm appeared as supporting characters with their modern teenage designs in the Johnny Bravo episode "A Page Right Out of History", where Johnny became smitten with Pebbles and was exploited by Fred for his idiocy. Teenage Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm would also go on to make a cameo as background characters in the Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated episode "Revenge of the Man Crab".
