The Banana Splits, a popular rock band from the late 1960s, is back to entertain a new generation of groovy groupies.

Starting in September, The Banana Splits will star in new comedy shorts and catchy music videos on the Cartoon Network. The animal Fab Four – Fleegle (a dog), Drooper (a lion), Bingo (a gorilla) and Snorky (an elephant) – is bringing their unique style of humor and catchy music to a whole new generation.

Thanks to Team Mom I got to preview the newly launched Banana Splits website, where kids ages 4-7 can watch comedy shorts and music videos, play games and join the Banana Splits club. My girls loved the mail toss game and as a busy mom I’m always excited to find a new kid friendly website that will keep them entertained. My only criticism of the site, which is still in beta, is that there is no easily navigable button that takes you directly to the games. The music is fun and it’s a great change from the usual repertoire of The Wiggles and Hannah Montana, and that, my friends, is worth its weight in, well, banana splits.

Stay tuned for The Banana Splits on the Cartoon Network beginning September 2 and running between 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday through Friday.
