Animatronics (The Banana Splits)

The Banana Splits are the titular main antagonistic faction of the 2019 direct-to-video horror comedy film The Banana Splits Movie, based on the 1968-1970 children's television series of the same name. These robotic mascots are created by Karl Ludwigson and go on a killing spree after learning about the show's cancellation.

Biography
The Splits start out as goofy, happy go lucky mascots who star on The Banana Splits Show. When young Harley Williams and his family attend a taping of the show for Harley Williams's birthday, the mascots learn that their show was cancelled. Drooper the Lion kills co-worker Stevie by shoving a lollipop prop down his throat and Fleegle the Beagle/Dog kills Thadd by sawing him in half. Fleegle the Beagle/Dog and Drooper the Lion make Rebecca Rayson and Jonathan go on a slippery obstacle course, while Drooper the Lion films the action. Rebecca Rayson slips, spraining her fingers, and Jonathan slips and lands on his face. When they make it to the end, Fleegle the Beagle/Dog stabs Jonathan with the blue key, and pushes him off the top, killing him, and when Rebecca Rayson reaches the end of the course, Drooper the Lion smashes her head with his hammer, killing her.

While looking for a way out, Harley Williams, Zoe, and Parker come across Snorky the Elephant. When Harley Williams attempts to convince him to help them, Snorky the Elephant redeems himself and agrees to help them. They come across the Banana Splits "entertaining" imprisoned children by committing gruesome acts, such as igniting Stevie's corpse and ripping off Andy Viktorson's limbs. Snorky the Elephant chains the survivors as well, but secretly gives Harley Williams the keys to set everyone free. The Splits chase after them. When Fleegle the Beagle/Dog and Drooper the Lion attack and overpower Beth Williams, Austin Williams kills Fleegle the Beagle/Dog by impaling him through the head with a metal pole and Harley Williams tosses the toy he received from his father to Beth Williams, which she uses to kill Drooper the Lion by shooting him through his mouth.

At the exit, the survivors are ambushed by Bingo the Gorilla/Ape, declaring that time was almost up. Snorky the Elephant attempts to fight Bingo the Gorilla/Ape, only for Bingo the Gorilla/Ape to stab Snorky the Elephant and rip his heart-like core out. Before Bingo the Gorilla/Ape is able to kill Harley Williams and his family, Snorky the Elephant uses the last of his energy to rip Bingo the Gorilla/Ape's head in half before succumbing to his wounds. However, this would not be the end of the Splits, as Poppy Glarady/Hooty takes off with their corpses on the Banana Buggy, having gone insane from Thadd's death. Fleegle the Beagle/Dog's eyes light up and a distorted laugh comes from the animatronic.
