The kids' TV classic is getting a modern makeover. Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper and Snorky are to star in new comedy shorts and music videos on the Cartoon Network.

Jordan Sollitto, of Warner Bros said: "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."

The Banana Splits came onto the scene in 1968. They are a costumed rock band made up of various animals, who hang out together in their Banana Pad while playing music and telling jokes.

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