The classic kids franchise The Banana Splits gets a horror remake in the original feature-length film The Banana Splits Movie, which is now available on Digital, and coming to Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD August 27 from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. The film will also make its television debut later this Fall, premiering Saturday, October 12 at 9/8c on Syfy.
Produced by Blue Ribbon Content in association with Warner Bros. Home Entertainment and SYFY, The Banana Splits Movie offers a new take on the classic characters. The film follows a boy named Harley and his family as they go to a taping of The Banana Splits TV show, which is supposed to be a fun-filled birthday for young Harley. But things take an unexpected turn — and the body count quickly rises. Can Harley, his mom and their new pals safely escape?
