Over hill and highway the Banana buggies come again. Warner Bros. Consumer Products is re-launching the classic ’60s Hanna-Barbara TV property The Banana Splits, which had costumed characters Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper and Snorky introducing cartoons such as The Three Musketeers and the live-action adventure serial Danger Island. The Banana Splits returns on Tuesday, Sept. 2 with all-new comedy shorts and music videos on Cartoon Network and Boomerang. The multi-platform revival will also include a new website, DVDs, live entertainment and music CDs.
The show is being updated to appeal to modern kids, but promises to deliver all the same elements that made the original show a hit with youngsters. The silly rock band composed of various animals return to the Banana Pad to tell eye-rolling jokes and star in goofy music videos and more than 130 comedy shorts that will air on Cartoon Network and Boomerang Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. The show will also appear on Boomerang, beginning September 2.
Universal Records will debut a CD and DVD featuring 13 new Banana Splits pop and rock songs. The music and videos will also be available on www.bananasplits.com, iTunes and amazon.com. In addition, The Banana Splits website will allow visitors to decode secret messages, join The Banana Splits Club, attend virtual meetings, hear Banana Splits jokes and play exclusive games.
Warner Bros. Consumer Products has teamed with Hard Rock Park to produce a live show and play-land dubbed Banana Splitsville. Located in the Born in the USA environ, Splitsville features rides designed for children, including the popular ‘Sole Train’ and ‘Dune Boogie,’ as well as ‘Mount Splitsville,’ a sand sculpture play area. The live concert ‘The Banana Splits Live,” is performed multiple times a day at the park.
