Drooper the Lion is one of the three main antagonists (alongside Fleegle and Bingo) of the 2019 direct-to-video horror comedy film The Banana Splits Movie. He is a member of the The Banana Splits and one of the four mascots created by Karl that go on a rampage after their show was cancelled.

He was portrayed by Kori Clarke and voiced by Eric Bauza.

Appearance[]

Drooper is a brown lion with a large red nose with two big nostrils and wearing a pair of orange-yellow sunglasses, a hat like the other members, and white spats on his feet. He has a dark brown mane, and the tip of his tail is yellow. In the poster, he is portrayed as having sharp teeth, but these are unused in the film.

Biography[]

Drooper was a happy-go-lucky mascot like everyone else at the beginning. Following the cancellation of their show, however, he, alongside the other animatronics, go on a killing spree caused in part by faulty coding.

He first kills the co-star of the show, Stevie, by shoving a plastic lollipop down his throat after being spat at with alcohol and taunted about being destroyed soon by him.

Later, Drooper and Fleegle make Rebecca and Jonathan (whom Drooper had already set on fire) go on a slippery obstacle course. At the end, Drooper slams Rebecca in the face with a hammer, killing her.

Even later, Fleegle and Drooper put on a "show" for the children they kidnapped, in which they set Stevie's corpse on fire and rip Andy, the station manager, apart limb from limb.

At the end, the redeemed Snorky helps the children escape, while Beth, the mother of Harley and Austin, gets into a fight with Fleegle and Drooper. After Austin killed Fleegle, Drooper knocks out Austin and chokes Beth by a throat. Harley arrives and throws his mother a toy-like stick. Beth quotes "Banana Cadabra, b*tch" and sticks right into Drooper's mouth to the brain-like core, killing him.

At the end, Poppy, now completely crazy after Thadd's death, takes the corpse of Drooper and the other remaining Banana Splits on the Banana Buggy, while taking the identity of the scrapped fifth Banana Split, Hooty.

Trivia[]

• In the original version of the Banana Splits, Drooper's eyes are always shut, while they remain open in the movie.
• In the film's DVD cover, Drooper has sharp teeth that are absent from his movie counterpart.
• Drooper is the first animatronic to kill someone and partially the last (as he shares a kill with Fleegle), unless one counts Bingo and Snorky's fight.
