''The Banana Splits'' is a MadeForTVMovie based on the 1960s series ''Series/TheBananaSplits'', making a GenreShift from comedy to horror. It's set to be released digitally on August 13, 2019, on Blu-Ray and DVD on August 27, 2019, and premiere on Creator/{{Syfy}} sometime later in 2019.

%%* AdultFear: A couple of shots in the trailer show Snorky the elephant leading Harley away somewhere, which -- considering the murderous nature of the animatronics -- does ''not'' seem like [[WouldHurtAChild it's going to end well]].
%%* AIIsACrapshoot: ''Something'' happens to make the Banana Splits animatronics start murdering people.
%%* AscendedFanboy: Harley is a fan of the InUniverse Banana Splits show, and he gets to see them live for his birthday.
%%* BloodierAndGorier: Needless to say, ''The Banana Splits Show'' was ''definitely'' not this violent.
%%* CurseCutShort: "Come on, you fuzzy son of a–"
%%* DarkerAndEdgier: '''''Oh, yes.'''''

%%* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: One scene in the trailer shows Fleegle doing this to a man, though it [[GoryDiscretionShot cuts away]] before we can see the carnage.
%%* HostileAnimatronics: The Splits go from being people in costumes to being animatronics. Naturally, this trope comes into play.
%%* RedEyesTakeWarning: In the trailer, we get a shot of Drooper's eyes glowing red before things start going to Hell.
%%* ShowWithinAShow: ''The Banana Splits Show'' is presented as one in the context of the film.

%%* AdaptationalUgliness: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] due to the GenreShift. All of the characters look much more hideous than their usual appearances with bulging eyes, matted fur, and gaunter proportions.
