Children's TV classic The Banana Splits is getting a modern makeover.

Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper and Snorky are to star in new comedy shorts and music videos on the Cartoon Network in the US, and its website, from September. A series of DVDs, live concerts, music CDs, and online games from the anarchic crew are expected to follow. "Everything that made The Banana Splits popular in the '60s is back, including the group's terrific humour and music," said Jordan Sollitto, of Warner Bros. "We take great pride in having carefully updated the look and feel of the original show for today's kids while retaining all of the elements that made the original Banana Splits such a hit."

****ing Awesome...

The show's theme song, The Tra La La Song, quickly became a classic.

Anyone ever notice the Banana Splits theme sounds just like Bob Marley's "Buffalo Soldier?"

This is nice save for the 'updated' part.

I just want 60's Banana Splits.

This is bigger than the TV forums, if Elvis came back to life and decided to star in the next Batman Movie as Penguin you wouldnt move it to TV, this is bigger.

How in the WORLD did they get Hanna-Barbera to agree to this??? An R-rated blood-soaked horror movie based on their characters? Wow...

No way, this can't possibly the first of its kind as a live-action thing.
