Added DiffLines:
* ActingForTwo: Creator/EricBauza voices all three speaking Splits (Fleegle, Bingo, and Drooper), and the TV show announcer. As for Snorky, he only communicates in honking noises (which is accurate to the original show).
* AshcanCopy: Inverted slightly since this was intended to be released, but this film seems to have been made by Warner Bros. in a desperate attempt to keep the Splits' copyright from expiring given that they've barely done anything with the Splits for quite a while ''and'' to do something vaguely ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys''-esque now that they've lost the film rights to FNAF.
* FakeAmerican: Everyone in the movie is played by either Canadians or South Africans.
* FollowTheLeader: The film reboot seems to be taking a number of cues from the ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' series, being about animatronics meant to entertain children apparently coming to life at night and going on a killing spree. In fact, it is widely believed that this film spun out of a rejected script for a ''FNAF'' film adaptation that Warner Brothers had been developing.
* HeAlsoDid:
** Writers [[https://www.closerweekly.com/posts/the-banana-splits-movie-how-the-kids-show-became-a-horror-film/ Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas]] previously collaborated on ''Film/MySuperPsychoSweet16'', ''Series/RavensHome'', ''WesternAnimation/RandyCunninghamNinthGradeNinja'', ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'', ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooPiratesAhoy'', and ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooCampScare''.
** The music was composed by Patrick Stump, the frontman of Music/FallOutBoy.
* MeaningfulReleaseDate: The movie was released on DVD and Blu-ray on August 27th, 2019, the same week as National Banana Split Day (two days after it, due to home movie releases being on the Tuesday of the week).
* SavedFromDevelopmentHell: This film is the result of [[https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/sdcc-2019-banana-splits-movie numerous failed attempts]] to revive the Splits by Blue Ribbon Content's Executive Vice President Peter Girardi.
