In case the trailer for the horror-comedy re imagining The Banana Splits Movie wasn’t enough of a clue, this is definitely one not to show the kids.

The classic funny animal rock group composed of Fleegle (the beagle), Bingo (the ape), Drooper (the lion), and Snorky (the elephant) are back! Screened at SDCC last month, The Banana Splits Movie is now available on Digital/Blu-ray/DVD.

To whet your appetite for the carnage to come, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has released clips from the film.

In this clip from The Banana Splits Movie, newly engaged couple Thadd and Poppy come upon Fleegle, who promptly begins to entertain them with a few magic tricks … none of which seem to have good intentions. Thadd is played by Kiroshan Naidoo (Deep State, Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell) and Poppy is played by Celina Martin (The Other Kingdom, iZombie). Two-time Emmy Award nominee Eric Bauza (Looney Tunes Cartoons, Woody Woodpecker, Muppet Babies) provides the voice of Fleegle.

In the next clip, Harley’s mom and brother – Beth, played by Dani Kind (Wynonna Earp) and Austin, played by Romeo Carere (Pyewacket), search back stage for Harley, who has gone missing.

Eric Bauza has certainly come a long way since he transitioned from working as an animator to becoming a voice actor. Check out some behind-the-scenes videos of superstar voice actor Bauza talking about filling the role of all three speaking Banana Splits.
