On his birthday, young Harley (Finlay Wojtak-Hissong) and his family attend a live recording of 'The Banana Splits' TV show. However, when it is announced that the show is going to be cancelled, the fun-filled afternoon turns to one of horror as the show's fuzzy robotic characters take over the studio and embark on a gruesome killing spree.

In the tradition of Westworld and other similar movies in that genre, where animatronics operating an amusement park goes haywire and begins to kill its visitors, it is a completely average contribution. The trailer is solid enough to attract people, but this movie is in reality just amateurishly written low-budget nonsense, with such tiresome black and white characters that it is annoying at times. What is most striking, however, is the fact that if we omit the crazy topic of murderous furries, it is not really a comedy at all. There is no humor in the screenplay, which was probably the thing about the movie which disappointed me the most. This movie is a half-witted morsel that desperately lacks any significant light-heartedness.

If this had fallen in the hands of someone more skilled, it could’ve been an unforgettable trip. But even in this version, I had more fun that I’d expected. Raping a legendary American kids TV show with a bloody slasher movie, ain’t it cute? I want the Czech Jů a Hele version.

A surprisingly fun and gory ride! Honestly, it turned out better than I expected. What I really enjoyed was the twist of featuring characters from a real 60s kids' show, giving this otherwise typical slasher a unique and nostalgic touch. BTW: Can we get a slasher with murderous Teletubbies next? Those guys are terrifying enough without weapons, so seeing them fulfill their creepy potential could be epic.

The American movie The Banana Splits Movie beautifully subverts a fraction of American culture, puts it in a new context, and works beautifully. The Banana Splits Movie is a gory movie that is also brilliantly executed. It is funny. It is cynical and really good. Plot-wise, it is nothing new, just a story about revenge on a few characters, although the archetypes of characters used are great.
