DC Thomson recently launched a website hinting at a bananaman movie for 2015!

I remember running down the stairs most morning when I was about 4 or 5 hoping bananaman was on the TV... Cracking cartoon.

I am actually a little excited about this! I presume it will be an animated movie, although a live action bananaman would be AMAZING!

    A Wallace and Gromit style of animation for this would work really well.

    Brilliant news!

    I was watching the 80's tv show on DVD just now and watching the episode 'The banana kid' and they must of thought about a movie about him in the 80's as there was a gag made about it!

    I never saw the cartoon but I read it as a comic strip in The Dandy back in the 90's. Can't wait for this.

    Looked on the net - can't find any info if the original voice artists - (The Goodies) - will be providing the voices. I'm taking a guess it's going to be animated. A live action Bananaman costume might look unintentionally silly. ;-)

    Be interesting to see if there's a large enough audience for these older characters. Postman Pat - The Movie, is released on 23 May 2014. Yep, this is genuine!

    Yeah, let's bring back The Tick too...

    I actually used to get these guys mixed up. But I remember the Bananaman creeping me out a bit as a child. He had a sinister look to him.

    I can't see how this movie would be a success though or who it would be marketed to. It's an offbeat comedy, of which there aren't many of in the superhero genre.

    Actually my 2 year old nephew had a bananaman t shirt on the other day. Is it being shown again or something? .
