This year, Barney, our famous five-alarm chili
is going to take first place at the Water Buffalo Lodge cook-off.
Right you are, Freddy boy.
But I don't think it's spicy enough.
-Why do you say that? -[Barney chuckling]
We still have our eyebrows. [laughing]
Hmm, you might be right, Barn.
Bamm-Bamm, I think we better get somewhere far away from that chili.
Yeah, somewhere safer.
Like the lawless wilderness of the Crags.
Volcanic lava rock pepper.
And my feathers just grew back
-from the last time they made chili. -[all cough]
I'm running out of blue.
Where did I leave that...
There it is. Lapis lazuli!
Thanks for making the pigments for me, Bamm-Bamm.
Anything that involves smashing rocks is fun.
Hey, why don't we smash rocks more often?
You smash rocks all the time.
-[laughs] Yeah. I have a pretty good life. -[thumping footsteps]
Who did this painting?
Are you the artist?
Uh, yes. Pebbles Flintstone.
And this is Bamm-Bamm Rubble.
My name is Jennifer.
I am a woolly glammoth.
We glammoths have a taste for the finer things, you know,
fashion, music, experimental cuisine.
Oh, and you like my painting?
No, actually, I don't.
I love it!
This is marvelous work, Miss Flintstone.
Truly, a fantastic piece.
Wow! Well, would you like to pose for a portrait?
[gasps] Do you mean it?
Oh! How's this? Or this?
Oh, you have to get me like this. No! This.
Just one pose will be fine.
This is so kind of you.
Glammoths have always appreciated fine art,
but for some reason
no one ever wants to make us the subjects of any.
And there. Finished!
Oh, could you just die? It's fabulous!
[gasps] And you got my good side, darling.
Would you like to sit for another?
Oh, no, no, no. I'm simply famished,
and I must be off to find a new brunch spot.
Everything in the Crags is tres bland.
Ta!
That was so inspiring!
I want to paint more.
I want to paint everything, paint everywhere!
Hey, Pebbles, I think you have some more fans.
You know, you're such a good listener.
Ooh, your biceps... [chuckles] So toned.
And it's like your dress is painted on.
You're not interested. I can take a hint.
Forever alone!
I've never seen this path before.
I wonder where it leads.
[groans] Hey, what is this?
Why is the air so hard and smashy? [weeping]
It's just my painting, you know, for fun.
You did this? To make fun of me?
-No, I-- -[wailing]
[grunts] Hey, you, watch where you're going!
So you're not going to apologize, eh?
I'll teach you a lesson.
[grunting]
Help! It's fighting back!
No, you don't understand. I didn't make these to start a--
You did this?
[wailing]
[sniffing]
What is that strange aroma?
Almost familiar, yet... [sniffs] New.
Painful to the nose, yet exciting!
Eye-watering, yet...
[sniffs] ...mouthwatering!
-Oh, that's nasty. -[all clamoring]
What is all this? I've never seen anything like it.
It's new and different. It must be bad.
[chuckles] No, it's just my artwork.
-"Artwork"? -Yeah.
I'm Pebbles by the way, and this is Bamm-Bamm.
I turn rocks into paint.
Listen to my warning.
This so-called "artwork"
-will be the doom of us all. -[all murmuring]
The end is nigh.
No, it's perfectly safe.
Just ignore him. He's a doomosaurus.
He thinks everything will be the end of us all.
You must heed this warning! For if you don't,
this artwork will cause you grave pain.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Artwork attacked me!
I've also been injured.
Hey, yeah! And I got rejected.
Didn't you just say to ignore him?
And getting rejected is gravely painful. Just like he said.
I've been telling you, the world is ending soon.
This artwork is a sign!
No, no! It's just a painting.
Look!
Look what has happened to poor Jennifer.
Ah, she was the first to succumb.
No, it's not the end of the world. I did that.
You? You trapped Jennifer inside this hard surface?
Pebbles cursed Jennifer!
Jennifer is the first to go!
I could be next!
[all screaming]
[screams] A razor-tufted cobradon!
Seriously? You know that's a painting.
You stood there and watched me finish painting it a few minutes ago.
The paint is literally still wet!
Oh, yeah. Yeah, I just got caught up in the moment.
[screams] A razor-tufted cobradon!
Stop. Everyone, stop!
Jennifer's fine.
Then where is she?
[people screaming]
Where is that intriguing smell coming from?
[tires screeching]
No. Help! It's hideous.
I know, but haircuts grow out, darling.
[sniffing]
Oh, I must be getting close to that enthralling aroma.
My trunk hairs are tingling.
At the core of art is symbolism.
A symbol is something that represents something else.
Do I represent something else?
What? No.
What about me? Do I?
Well, yes, you kind of do, but that's not the point.
Look, this isn't literally a star,
but a symbol of a star.
Just as the painting isn't literally Jennifer,
but a symbol of her.
Jennifer is safe,
just as you are all safe.
So, paintings are magic?
-She's a witch! -No! It's just paint.
Bamm-Bamm makes it out of rocks.
Using magic?
He's a witch, too.
We're doomed!
The end of the world!
[all screaming]
Run, before they turn us into artwork next!
[all growling]
Barney, old boy, I think we used too much pepper.
I think you may be right, Fred.
[bubbling]
Oh, boy. Looks like this is it, Barn.
Who would have thought it would end like this?
Not me. I had my money on a flood.
-[laughing] -[Jennifer trumpeting]
When it rains it pours.
[gasps] Oh, I found it!
The source of that exotic aroma.
Oh!
[stammering] Oh, this... That tastes divine!
Those spices, that flavor, it's so complex.
Presentation needs a little work,
but ten stars for flavor and originality.
Simply fabulous!
Ta-ta, now.
Looks like our chili troubles are over. Eh, Fred?
Yeah, Barn. And so are our chances of winning the cook-off.

Hello, everyone.
Oh, what's going on? What did I miss?
Oh, uh...
We're going to obliterate the harbingers of doom.
What, you mean Pebbles Flintstone?
You can't obliterate her! She's an amazing artist,
and the only person to ever offer to paint my portrait.
Okay, maybe I was a little hasty.
But the end is still nigh. It's very nigh.
The end has never been nigher.
Aw, what do you know, anyway?
Yeah, we should have never listened to him. Let's get out of here.
-Ow! [weeping] -Hey, you! Watch where you're going.
[sighs] I need a new hobby.
