Bananaman

[dan78]

It looks like we can add another superhero movie to the 2015 schedule, with Den of Geek reporting that the classic British comic book character / children's series Bananaman is heading to the big screen, with the website Bananamanmovie.com suggesting that we'll "Peel the Power" next year.

Bananaman is the alter-ego of Eric Wimp (a.k.a. Eric Twinge), a young schoolboy who transforms into the fruity superhero when he eats a banana. The character first appeared as a comic strip in Nutty in 1980 before transferring to The Dandy and The Beano, while he also made the jump to the small screen for a BBC animated series which was produced between 1983 and 1986.

Nah the cartoon was boss and proper England in the 80's.

Really unsure a film is a good idea.

Wow- could see it as an animated thing but not an actual film.

Thundercats- now thats a cartoon waiting to be made into a film!

Could be good if they keep the same kind of humour, as with all films depends on script quality

I had a beano + Dandy anniversary book when i was younger with loads of different comics from all the characters in. Loved that book.

Bananaman was in it and to be honest didnt really like it over the usual. Cant remember the cartoon either so i dont think i will bother.

Postman pat the movie on the other hand.....
