Bingo, Fleegle, Snorky and Drooper are back with a vengeance in Warner Bros. Home Entertainment’s The Banana Splits Movie, due digitally Aug. 13, and on Blu-ray and DVD Aug. 27.
The cult-favorite animal rock-band from Hanna-Barbera’s 1968 “The Banana Splits Adventure Hour” variety show returns with a twist. What once was a lively puppet show for kids has been revived as a bloody horror movie.
The film follows a boy named Harley and his family as they go to a taping of The Banana Splits TV show, which takes an unexpected turn when the Splits start slaughtering the audience. The cast includes Dani Kind, Finlay Wojtak-Hissong, Romeo Carere, Steve Lund and Sara Canning, with Eric Bauza voicing the Banana Splits.
