Wiki.
The Banana Splits Movie is a 2019 American comedy horror film directed by Danishka Esterhazy from a screenplay written by Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas. Serving as a horror reimagining of Hanna-Barbera's 1968 children's television series The Banana Splits, the film stars Dani Kind, Steve Lund, Celina Martin, Finlay Wotjak-Hissong, Sara Canning, Romeo Carere, and Maria Nash, with Eric Bauza as the voice of the Banana Splits. It follows a family who try to survive when the titular characters go haywire during a live-on-tape of the series and start a killing spree around the filming studio upon learning of the show's upcoming cancellation.
The project was first announced in February 2019, following an original idea from Josh Van Houdt, Syfy's vice president of development, about turning a discussed Banana Splits film adaptation into a horror film. Esterhazy was hired as director with screenwriters Elinoff and Thomas having conceived the idea based on inspiration from 1986's Chopping Mall and 1988's Child's Play.
The Banana Splits Movie premiered at the San Diego Comic-Con on July 18, 2019, and was released through video on demand on August 13, 2019, by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. The film received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics, with praise for the performances and concept.
