Batcave Dinosaurs The Flintstones House
The Flintstones House is a residence of real life. Although the house is not surrounded by dinosaurs, it is an almost exact replica of the house of the cartoon.
Although it seems that there is no privacy in this cave, my favorite part of the house must be the bubble bath with the bottle of champagne next to it. I wonder if Fred and Wilma look-a-likes live in this impressive model floor of The Flintstones House. References: and bored-space.
Implications - Corporations recreate often franchises of animated products because they know that there is a dedicated fan base of the source material. A publicity stunt as recreating a caricature in real life it attracts attention and reinvigorates consumers interest in the original franchise. Companies can be considered a similar publicity stunt in order to revitalize the interest of consumers in their products.
