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.

It follows a family who try to survive during a live-on-tape of the series when the titular characters start a killing spree around the filming studio upon learning of the show's upcoming cancellation.

The Banana Splits Movie premiered at San Diego Comic-Con on July 18, 2019, and was released through video on demand on August 13, 2019, by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment.

Harley Williams is a huge fan of The Banana Splits, a successful children's television series that features four animatronic characters—Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper, and Snorky—with their human co-star Stevie.

Upon arrival, the family meet several audience and staff members, including the show's hostess Paige and her assistant Doug, fan couple Thadd and Poppy Glarady, aspiring young performer Parker and her father Jonathan, and security guard Sal.

As the tape is getting ready, Taft's new vice president of programming Andy Viktorson informs the show's producer Rebecca Rayson that he is cancelling the series after the recording as it does not go with his network's vision.

The animatronic characters' cast includes in-suit performers Terry Sauls as Fleegle, Buntu Plam as Bingo, Kori Clark as Drooper, and Brandon Vraagom as Snorky.

On February 19, 2019, Warner Bros. Television Group's Blue Ribbon Content division announced that they were collaborating with Blue Ice Pictures on producing a film adaptation of The Banana Splits television series, which would take place in a horror-like setting, scheduled to premiere at San Diego Comic-Con on July 18, 2019, to be released direct to streaming through Warner Bros. Home Entertainment on August 13, 2019, on DVD and Blu-ray on August 27, 2019, and to air on Syfy on October 12, 2019.

[11] William Bibbiani of Bloody Disgusting gave a positive review saying that the film "offers a satisfying sequence of slasher slays" but that it "relies so much on cognitive disconnect that never feels like more than an ironic kill count".

[14] Luke Thompson, writing to Forbes, says that "... until we get an actual Five Nights at Freddy's movie, this does deliver in that unique niche of furry animal animatronics gone scary".
