~ Fleegle to Harley, Zoe and Parker after trapping them.
Fleegle the Beagle is one of the two main antagonists (alongside Drooper) of the 2019 direct-to-video horror comedy film The Banana Splits Movie.
He is the leader of The Banana Splits and one of the four mascots created by Karl that go on a rampage and start a killing spree after learning their show is cancelled.
He was portrayed by Terry Sauls and voiced by Eric Bauza.
Fleegle is a light brown beagle dog wearing a large red bow tie and two black buttons. He has black marks around his eyes, a white snout and his tongue is always sticking out, giving him a thick lisp. As part of the Banana Splits uniform, Fleegle dons a large red marching band hat with yellow tufts. Parts of his costume get torn off throughout the film, including his left arm, his eyes and eventually the entire left half of his face, revealing his endoskeleton and glowing red eye.
Personality[]
Like the rest of the Splits, Fleegle is programmed to be a kid-friendly mascot made to entertain audiences. However, after he learns his show is cancelled and because of his faulty programming under the software "The Show Must Go On", he and his friends go on a rampage to ensure his show continues. He goes to extreme measures to do this, murdering every adult he comes across and capturing children and chaining them up to watch his show. Due to these two pieces of programming, his killing spree is incredibly theatrical and gleeful, murdering his victims in acts reminiscent of the show he's programmed to perform for. Despite his murderous nature, he still exists to entertain and perform for kids, albeit performing grisly acts for what he perceives as entertaining traumatized children.
Fleegle in particular is shown to be very theatrical and goofy during his massacre, taking great enjoyment out of murdering and torturing his victims, though this is likely due to being programmed as a charismatic entertainer. He also shows great leadership and intelligence and is programmed to prioritize children above everything else. However, he is very protective and enforcing of his audience and makes sure nobody gets in the way of his show continuing.
Biography[]
Fleegle was created by Karl as the leader of the titular band starring in the children's television series The Banana Splits Adventure Hour, which has become a cultural phenomenon with children and audiences alike for the group's wacky antics and catchy songs.
Nine-year-old Harley Williams gets tickets to a live taping of the show for his birthday along with his mother Beth, father Mitch, stepbrother Austin and classmate Zoe. When the group arrive at the studio, the Splits almost run over Harley who excitedly runs in front of their Banana Buggy. As a result of this, Karl gives Drooper an update while the others head to the stage, unaware that the new vice president of programming Andy has just announced to Rebecca the show's producer of his plans to cancel the show after the taping. After the show is finished, Stevie, the Splits' co-star, mocks them about their cancellation and upcoming demolition.
Fleegle reappears with the rest of the Splits backstage to take pictures with the VIP tour, but the group is separated, allowing him to leave and find Poppy and Thadd, an influencer couple in his magic shop, with Thadd proposing to Poppy. Fleegle destroys Poppy's phone to prevent them from calling the authorities and forces Thadd into a magician's box before sawing him in half. He attempts to attack Poppy, getting the fur on his arm ripped off by her, before Harley and Zoe arrive looking for Snorky. He agrees to take them to him but locks them up in Karl's workshop with Parker, another girl whom Bingo kidnapped previously.
Later, Fleegle attacks Rebecca and Johnathan, Parker's father, and forces them to participate in the show's Sloppy Time Course, getting both his eyes ripped out by Rebecca in the process while Drooper films the action. Once Johnathan reaches the top of the course, Fleegle takes the blue key required to complete the game and inserts it into his spine before throwing him off the platform to his death. Rebecca attempts to escape through the ballpit but is bludgeoned in the head by Drooper.
The remaining survivors Beth, Austin and Paige the studio page find Fleegle and Drooper holding the child audience members captive in the boiler room underneath the studio while performing gruesome acts such as lighting Stevie's corpse on fire. Beth tries to free the kids while Fleegle and Drooper torture Andy, who was captured by Bingo earlier on, by attaching him to the show's Wheel of Endings which lands on 'Banana Split' which involves the two ripping him apart limb from limb.
Once the kids are freed, Beth gets into a fight with the two animatronics, with Fleegle getting the entire left half of his face torn off and is about to torch Beth to death before Austin comes and stabs him in the head with a crowbar. When the family is leaving, Fleegle attempts to reactivate only to shut down due to his damages.
After the authorities have arrived and the survivors have left, Poppy is seen driving the stolen Banana Buggy with the remains of the Splits in the back, having gone insane from her boyfriend's death. Fleegle is last seen reactivating and letting out a distorted laugh.
Victims[]
Thadd - Sawn in half in a magic trick.
Jonathan - Spine ripped open with key and thrown to his death.
18 adult audience members/staff (approximately) - Found massacred in a hallway, likely a combined attack by all the members.
Andy - Limbs ripped off by him and Drooper.

Trivia[]
In the original Banana Splits Show, Bingo was barefooted and Fleegle wore shoes. In the movie, Fleegle and Bingo's feet were switched for unknown reasons.
Fleegle is the only Split that doesn't wear sunglasses. He is also the only Split that isn’t based on a wild animal (he is a beagle; the other Splits are a gorilla, a lion, and an elephant, respectively).
He is the first Split to “die”, although he reactivates at the end of the movie.
He has the most lines out of the three talking Splits.
He has the same voice and laugh as Tigger from the Winnie the Pooh franchise, as his voice actor in the original show was Paul Winchell who also voiced Tigger.
