Bongo Banana

About This Movie

Bongo Banana is one of those quirky animated adventures that just hangs in the air, leaving you pondering its themes well after the credits roll. The film dives into the complexities of identity against the backdrop of a wild island, where EDEN’s fireteam faces not only a massive gorilla but their own inner demons. The pacing is offbeat, maybe a bit slow for some, but it highlights the characters’ introspections in a unique way. Practical effects lend a gritty texture to the creatures, making them feel oddly real. It’s distinctive in its blend of humor and darker undercurrents, which not every film dares to explore. Definitely an odd gem worth discussing with fellow collectors.

Bongo Banana has had limited releases over the years, making it somewhat elusive for collectors. It initially appeared in a small batch of VHS tapes, and later a remastered DVD, but its scarcity has kept it off many collector radars. Interest is growing, especially among those who appreciate unconventional animation and storytelling. Keep an eye out for any online auctions or trading posts, as this might be the kind of title that not everyone has in their collection.
