<p><em>This article first appeared in Film Stories issue 33.</em></p>



<p>The convention established by <em>Superman</em> and parodied across various superhero stories dictates that, when a figure flies in front of gathering crowds for the first time, onlookers will question whether the spectacle is a bird or a plane – or, in some cases, perhaps an egg salad sandwich. Yet for a brief moment in 2014 the object inviting us to #PeelThePower was undeniably a bright yellow banana peel splayed across half the earth.</p>



<p>Had we zoomed in on that globe, we would have likely found the iconic address of 29 Acacia Road and Eric, a schoolboy who leads an amazing double life. For when Eric eats a banana, an amazing transformation occurs. Eric is Bananaman! Ever alert for the call to action. At least he is within the pages of The Beano, where his stories currently reside, having moved there – via The Dandy – since first appearing in Nutty back in 1980. A big-screen version of <em>Bananaman</em> is yet to come to life, though, despite some considerable pushes.</p>



<p>The year 2014 was a time when everyone seemed to ‘realise’ that they too needed a cinematic universe, or at least some form of comic book or superhero related feature. Britain’s answer to this was to bring the blue and yellow wonder of Bananaman to cinemas in live-action glory. The project was announced by DC Thomson and Elstree Studio Productions on a now shut-down website, including a triumphant orchestral version of the theme to the character’s ’80s animated series.</p>



<p> “2015” read the text at the bottom of the page; later, in September of that year, that changed to “coming soon” before the site was ultimately taken down completely. As 2016 arrived, bringing with it a succession of failed cinematic universe launches, <em>Bananaman The Movie</em> appeared to still be on the cards.</p>



<p>A musical was also in the works. That would eventually play a brief one-month run at London&#8217;s Southwark Playhouse, December 2017 to January 2018. Alongside the Facebook announcement for that show, we were told that “this fruitiest of superheroes is experiencing a revival elsewhere – <em>Bananaman The Movie</em> is also in development”. However, though the same ‘Peel the Power’ branding was used, alongside a similar starry background, apparently the positively reviewed musical was largely unrelated to the film.</p>



<p>With the launch of Beano Studios in that same year, all hopes of a live-action outing for the superhero with the strength of 20 nerks ground to an abrupt halt, despite never being officially cancelled. Beano Studios has since been superseded by Emanata Studios, as of late 2021 – a company taking on the task of bringing some of the 2000+ characters within the expansive DC Thomson catalogue to life on both the big and small screen. With this change, focus appears to have shifted towards an adult-oriented animation involving the character, in association with Fox Entertainment and Bento Box Animation (the team behind <em>Bob’s Burgers</em>).</p>



<p>While a feature adaptation for Victor comics&#8217; <em>Steelhead Sam</em> is in the works – early discussions revolve around the concept of multiple actors playing the central war veteran with a metal head, portraying the various masks he uses to cover it up – there appears to have been little attempt to bring any characters from the Beano or Dandy to the big screen before Bananaman – not even <em>Desperate Dan</em>, a man who can pull off the cinematic feat of eating four cow pies. <em>Dennis The Menace </em>has had animated TV outings, but a live-action series entitled <em>The Magnificent Misadventures Of Minnie</em> [the Minx] also never appeared to get further than an initial announcement – although Minnie (alongside Dan) does still have a statue in Dundee.</p>



<p>Very little has been said as to why attempts to make the movie fell through. With stalled projects of this ilk, it could be for a number of reasons. Perhaps it could be funding? Nick Frost discussed the back-and-forth behind the scenes of a planned <em>Captain Pugwash </em>feature – that he was supposed to star in –  with both <em>Richard Herring’s Leicester Square Theatre Podcast</em> and <em>Kermode and Mayo’s Film Review</em>. The big issue being that investors realised that nobody outside of the UK had heard of the character. Bananaman is no stranger to international audiences, though. The animated incarnation was broadcast on Nickelodeon in the US – initially accompanying <em>Danger Mouse</em>, which became a big hit – and ABC in Australia.</p>



<p>Emanata Studios claims to encourage reinterpretations of characters and IP from the expansive DC Thomson catalogue of stories and characters, even those well outside of what has been referred to as ‘the Beano-verse’. From <em>Beezer</em> and <em>Topper</em> to <em>Starblazer</em> and <em>Spellbound</em>, and the range and variety of <em>Commando</em> and <em>Bunty</em>, the studio makes a point of saying to potential pitchers and writers that the IP is there as inspiration, but they want to know how it can be reimagined, especially for a modern audience. Writer Roland Moore’s idea for the aforementioned <em>Steelhead Sam</em> feature is apparently in the vein of <em>Mission: Impossible</em>, for example.</p>



<p>In many cases with recurring characters, this modernisation has been done multiple times due to their long-standing roles in the comics. <em>The Bash Street Kids</em> may have gone from holding catapults and pea shooters to tablets and smartphones, with one or two other tweaks to reflect the changing times throughout their 68-year history, but they’re by and large the same loud, chaotic class they were all those years ago.</p>

<p>The superhero genre, and indeed comic-book adaptations as a whole, are now looking for more varied content and styles, which has spawned the likes of TV outings such as <em>WandaVision </em>and <em>The Boys</em>, to feature outings along the lines of <em>Logan</em> and <em>Birds Of Prey</em>. In these changing times, a character like Bananaman would perhaps feel more in place and relevant than ever.</p>



<p>With a character so notable in British culture, there’s a chance for a Bananaman film to provide a real cinematic family experience for all the different generations who have been aware of and grown up with the character in his various iterations so far. The first blighted push for a feature led by the character was, as mentioned, to be live-action. For such a cartoonish figure, especially when considering the style of the comic panels in which he commonly appears, this may seem an odd decision. But plenty of superheroes have managed to leap from their own highly fantastical pages to big-screen success with ease and audience acclaim (admittedly with likely much higher budgets spent on a shedload of CGI).</p>



<p>However, in the case of <em>Bananaman</em>, the focus appears to be on the character and the villains who surround him rather than his overall powers  – although, it should be acknowledged his ability to joyfully swim around the world without reversing time is very impressive. Even still, a lower budget, or at least one not spent heavily on visual effects, could enhance the comedic potential.</p>



<p>There’s plenty to expand upon – 40 five-minute episodes, countless one-to-two-page comic strips, and a variety of annuals – and a heavy mob of characters and villains, which could provide plenty of actors with the opportunity to have fun playing true slimy, ‘boo hiss’ figures (Phoenix Buchanan watch out). For both the hero and villains of the comics, there’s no real backstory – there have been one or two in <em>Bananaman</em> over the years, but nothing overly set in stone.</p>



<p>There’s also plenty to play around with in both the world of <em>Bananaman</em> and the hundreds of other characters owned by DC Thomson. How did Lord Snooty get his wealth? Is there potential for a feature-length feud between <em>The Jocks and The Geordies</em>? Surely <em>Roger The Dodger </em>has been on just as many adventures as <em>Spider-Man</em>, if not more? Talbot states, “What we say to writers is ‘you can create that backstory’. Whatever the reason is [for Bananaman’s origins], we allow the writers of the TV and film to create that backstory. And I think that’s the same for playing around with the reinvention.”</p>



<p>When you look at the array of stories and characters in DC Thomson’s catalogue, perhaps the one who sticks out the most as having a story which could work best on the big screen is Bananaman. Maybe that’s down to his longevity and superhero nature, alongside the fact that there was at one point at least one ill-fated attempt. Yet, it appears that there is still hope for another adaptation of the character in some form, and not just the upcoming animated series. It seems that Emanata Studios is also in this state of mind, and not just when it comes to Bananaman.</p>



<p>At the top of its website, the firm claims to welcome “the very best diverse voices and creative talent to reimagine this enormous treasure trove, creating characters and telling stories that reflect the modern world of our British and global audiences.” Perhaps you have that idea. Who knows what weird and wonderful British icons could find their way to the big screen?</p>
