This movie pretty much sets itself up as a film that shouldn't be taken seriously by not only positing the Banana Splits show as something that is still being made, but also claiming that it's still wildly popular. Anyone who is familiar with shows that rely on one or more people wearing an animal suit is pretty much aware that these shows have a very limited shelf life and an appeal that rarely lasts beyond the generation of children who watched it when it was first released. Shows like Barney both break free of this mold while also still falling into several of the same pitfalls, but by large they're going to sink into relative obscurity after no new episodes are released. If a similar claim were to be made about Barney being wildly popular still, some eye rolling and "yeah, sure" comments would also be made.
There's not a huge amount of plot here, as the main focus is more to just enjoy the scenes of chaos as our animatronic baddies set out to kill, threaten, or contain anyone they come across. It's not the destination, it's the ride. Approach this movie in the same way that you would something like Sharknado and you're golden, as that movie had the same idea: just throw absurd stuff at the walls and see what sticks. This movie's goal isn't to scare you, it's to entertain you.
Now some will obviously say that this is a Five Nights at Freddy's ripoff and well, they'd be right to a certain degree. This was very much created as a stand-in for the movie that seems to be stuck in some sort of production limbo (not quite in Development Heck, but not really active either). The film's cast, crew, and creators seem to be pretty aware that this won't be the FNAF film that people want and revel in this to a degree, taking the opportunity to create something that is just absolutely ridiculous and insane.
My personal favorite of the film has to have been the actor for Stevie. His IMDb shows that he's never been in anything before this that ended up on the site, but he really approaches his role with absolute glee. The actors all seem to do this to varying degrees, but none so much as this guy. Here's hoping that someone in Hollywood saw this, as I think he'd make a marvelous bad guy in other horror movies.
It's a weird movie, because no one in is a GenXer, and most of this cast, and all of its main characters, were likely born after the Banana Splits ended in 1970, and the syndication ended around 1980. Yet the movie tried to show at least some interest for the 35 and under crowd. I did find this kind of strange that the show, in the movie, was on nowadays, and more young adults than kids were into it. As an adult I can't watch a show like this, but smaller kids love this stuff.
The movie focuses on a droll, modern family in suburbia. A father, who is self-absorbed with "work", his cell phone and his own image. A mother who really does not have much of a personality, other than being a mother, and her stoner son from her first marriage who, of course, doesnt like the stepfather. The younger son Harley is about seven years old, and he is obsessed with the Banana Splits. He also like dressing like some sort of fairy and has no friends except one and seems a bit...odd. The family get tickets to a live show of the Banana Splits for Harley, along with a strange sharp pointed object that could stab someone in the eye. One of Harley's classmates, a girl named Zoey, reluctantly attends the viewing as well. Zoey is a typical kid that outgrew shows like this.
I will try not to spoil the show, but things get strange. The four Banana Splits are no longer man in animal costumes. Instead theyre these weird, robotic puppets that can walk, talk, drive, act, and eventually kill people. After one nearly runs Harley over in a golf car, they get taken in for a tweaking and a software download. Only one, Drooper, get the upgrade and there is apparently a glitch. Around the same time the loathsome VP of programming tells the equally loathsome producer that he's cancelling the show in favor something edgy. At the same time the show begins, and Drooper gets violent. Nuff said.
With the scene, things get ever weirder. The Banana Splits have a guy name "Stevie" on stage with them who is a drunk who hates everything, and certain guests are selected to be VIPS to see the characters after the viewing and meet them. A couple of strange things happen here. Most of the audience are adults around 35. The kids are around 7-12 years old, way too old for a show like this. There are no kids under 5, and any parent who has been through a Barney concert or the Teletubbies knows these places are full of crazy little ones. I guess because the plot grows so much darker they needed to have older kids who just seems kind of uncomfortable.
The adult guests were obnoxious, and the ones that stayed for the post meeting after the show were just...weird. One was a father with a daughter who was about 13 and we was trying to get her a gig (No, no audition, glossy, resume, credentials, etc) and a twenty-something couple obsessed with the show. In the age of "bronies" and "furries" this shouldn't be too surprising but these were people who grew up way after the Banana Splits were gone, and likely knew little of Hanna Barbera. Ok, this next part is a spoiler:
Then everything just comes crashing down....People split up, kids gets kidnapped, giant animatronic dolls go one ghastly killing sprees wiping out all the men first and one woman, the loathsome producer. Adults die in every way possible with the Splits' props and the kids become a captive audience forced to watch a live taping of a furry snuff film...I was unconfortable.
But Mom, who had no personality at the beginning of the show, suddenly becomes Supermom. She gets all Ma-Chuck Norris on the puppets, wiping out Fleagle the dog who eventually becomes some sort of Terminator mess. This made me sad, Fleagle was my favorite. This made me also wonder how Fleagle and Bingo managed to get the glitch without the upgrade. And what about Snorky?
Snorky has an existantial crisis and becomes a more complex character, I will leave it at that.
So I don't really want to nit-pick too much but the kids, through it all, seemed relatively unscathed. I wasn't like that little girl dressed as a clown in Halloween or the kid that was eaten by the tree in Poltergeist. These modern kids are more hip to mechanical serial killers, apparently. Plus Supermom, who again turned into Chick Norris in yoga pants, saved the day...for most. It's kid of odd how the kids seems much more level headed and smarter than the parents, this does irritate me sometimes because lets face it, most of our kids would be scarred for life if four giant weapon-wielding furry robots slaughters their parents in front of them,
There are few other funny parts (Watch Poppy) and attempts at nostalgia that the younger generations really won't understand. Honestly the Banana Splits would not work with kids today...we had three channels, and limited choices.
Yet with all this, I felt weird because the Banana Splits were my generation and my generation was completely left out. They treated them as if they were created now, and not in 1970. Kudos to Eric Bauza, who, according to IMDB, did the voices, because they sounded great, especially by beloved, yet psychopathic Fleagle. Looking back now I always did find Bingo a little creepy....
