Fred Flintstone (John Goodman) and the Dictabird.
The Flintstones, released in 1994, is a film adaptation of the popular Hanna-Barbera cartoon series of the same name.
Jim Henson's Creature Shop supplied a menagerie of animatronic prehistoric beasts, notably featured characters Dino and the Dictabird (voiced by Harvey Korman, who had played Gazoo on the original cartoon). Other creations included Fred's brontocrane, the pigasaurus garbage disposal, and other (often cranky) animal appliances.
The Creature Shop also provided effects for the follow-up film in 2000, The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas.
