13 Movies You Didn't Know Were Responsible For Weird Cinematic Milestones

5. The Flintstones Was The First Motion Picture To Contain CGI Fur

Even now, fur is considered to be one of the most difficult and time consuming things to create using CGI. Though we've recently been impressed as by the likes of the digital fur in movies like Monsters Inc., and King Kong, a very awful and probably best forgotten movie - starring John Goodman, no less - was actually the first picture in movie history to have a go at rendering the stuff; That's right, Brian Levant's film adaptation The Flintstones from '94.

Narrative awfulness aside, The Flintstones set an impressive milestone twenty years ago when it became the first movie to tackle the arduous task of rendering fur - in this case, to create the Flintstone's sabre-toothed tiger pet, Baby Puss.

In retrospect, it doesn't look all that great, but for the time it was an achievement to be proud of. Fur, of course, is notoriously hard to "get right" because effects artists have no choice but to render each and every hair. Ugh!
