A week after I finished filming the Banana Splits deep dive video, news of ANOTHER attempt at a Banana Split pilot in 2014 came to surface! Between the 2008 shorts and the 2016 pilot, Warner Bros commissioned artist Tom Megalis to make two characters into stop motion puppets for a potential animated series. A Drooper and Bingo puppet were made and- that’s it! The pilot was scrapped. RIP once again to the Splits. And their goofy-looking puppets. The two puppets were put up for sale in November and (to my knowledge) are still available if you want a lil’ piece of Split history.
This was brought to my attention a couple of months ago by viewer Beartronica! Thank you for letting me know! You can check out the insta post where Tom Megalis introduces the two puppets here: www.instagram.com/tommegalis/reel/DBhnQVepfL_/
