New BANANA SPLITS Headed To Cartoon Network To Help Sell Kiddie Records, Games, T-Shirts And Theme Park Tickets!!

I am – Hercules!!

Time Warner is looking to suck away some of that Wiggles market share with a relaunch of Hanna Barbera’s old “Banana Splits” franchise. The multiplatform resurrection will spill onto Cartoon Network “shorts” (commercials? infomercials?) apparently designed to remind viewers of what the hippy-anipals Bingo, Fleegle, Drooper and Snork look and sound like.

The idea, one gathers, is to sell video games, apparel, juice boxes and songs to pre-teens who don't yet produce the kind of hormones that allow them to enjoy Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Bros.

Read all of Variety’s story on the matter here.




September 30!!
