| ~ Harley Williams about the show the Splits put on. |
The Banana Splits are the titular main antagonists of the 2019 direct-to-video horror comedy film The Banana Splits Movie, based on the 1968-1970 children's television series of the same name.
They are an animatronic band of children's entertainers created by Karl who star on The Banana Splits Show that go on a rampage and start a killing spree after learning their show is to be cancelled.
Personality[]
The Splits are programmed to be kid-friendly mascots made to entertain audiences. However, after they learn their show is to be cancelled and because of their faulty programming under the software "The Show Must Go On", they go on a rampage to ensure their show continues. They go to extreme measures to do this, murdering every adult they come across and capturing children and chaining them up to watch their show. Due to these two pieces of programming, their killing spree is incredibly theatrical and gleeful, murdering their victims in acts reminiscent of the show their programmed to perform for. Despite their murderous nature, they still exist to entertain and perform for kids, albeit performing grisly acts for what they perceive as entertaining traumatized children.
Biography[]
The Splits start out as goofy, happy go lucky mascots who star on The Banana Splits Show. When young Harley Williams and his family attend a taping of the show for Harley's birthday, the mascots learn that their show is to be cancelled. As a result of this and a software update malfunction, Drooper kills human co-star Stevie by shoving a lollipop prop down his throat and Fleegle kills Thadd by sawing him in half while Snorky chases down Mitch with the Banana Buggy and runs him over. Fleegle and Drooper forced Rebecca and Jonathan to go on a slippery obstacle course, while Drooper films the action. Rebecca slips, spraining her fingers, and Jonathan slips and lands on his face. When they make it to the end, Fleegle stabs Jonathan with the blue key, and pushes him off the top, killing him, and when Rebecca reaches the end of the course, Drooper smashes her head with his hammer, killing her.
While looking for a way out, Harley, Zoe, and Parker come across Snorky. When Harley attempts to convince him to help them, Snorky redeems himself and agrees to help them. They come across the Banana Splits "entertaining" imprisoned children by committing gruesome acts, such as igniting Stevie's corpse and ripping off Andy's limbs. Snorky chains the survivors as well, but secretly gives Harley the keys to set everyone free. The Splits chase after them but are blocked by Beth. When Fleegle and Drooper attack and overpower Beth, Austin kills Fleegle by impaling him through the head with a crowbar and Harley tosses the toy he received from his father to Beth, which she uses to kill Drooper by shooting him through his mouth.
At the exit, the survivors are ambushed by Bingo, declaring that time was almost up. Snorky attempts to fight Bingo, only for Bingo to stab Snorky and rip his heart-like core out. Before Bingo is able to kill Harley and his family, Snorky uses the last of his energy to rip Bingo's head in half before succumbing to his wounds. However, this would not be the end of the Splits, as Poppy takes off with their corpses on the Banana Buggy, having gone insane from Thadd's death. Fleegle's eyes light up and a distorted laugh comes from the animatronic.
