Bewitched is famous for its cartoon intro, created by Hanna-Barbera Productions. Every fan of the series can instantly recognize the iconic sequence, which depicts Samantha flying over the city on a broomstick, turning her hat into a frying pan, transforming into a cat, and finally jumping into the arms of Darrin. However, even some diehards may be surprised to learn that the Bewitched characters also made two other animated appearances.

As detailed on IMDb, Samantha and Darrin's second adventure in the cartoon world took place in 1965, when Elizabeth Montgomery and Dick York guest starred on a special crossover episode of The Flintstones. The episode, appropriately titled "Samantha," shows the Stephenses moving to Bedrock and befriending Fred, Wilma, Betty, and Barney. Like many Bewitched plots, the story deals with gender stereotypes and conventions — when Fred and Barney go on a camping trip "for the boys," Samantha sets up camp with Betty and Wilma to prove that they can handle the wilderness just as well. 

Seven years later, the Stephens children got their own animated special with Tabitha and Adam and the Clown Family. According to Jeff Langburn's Encyclopedia of Animated Cartoons, this hourlong program, part of ABC's "Saturday Superstar Movie" program, follows Tabitha and Adam as they visit an aunt who works with the circus.
