Only in this case the actors where live and everyone and everything around them was animation. The series is similar to such Disney movies as 'Pete's Dragon' and 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' by combining live actors with animation. Throughout the run of the series, Huck and friends try to evade Injun Joe while trying to get back to the early 19th Century and their home U.S. The three young people were chased into this world by an animated character named Injun Joe. The 'Huck Finn' segments featured live actors portraying the Mark Twain characters Huck Finn, Tom Sawyer and Becky Thatcher living in an animated world trying to get back home. In was in this later syndicated version that 'The New Adventures of Huck Finn' were added (older Hanna-Barbara series from the 1960's where added to the Banana Splits to make more episodes for repeats). Later, in 1973 (and continuing into the 1990's) it was sold to local TV stations as a half-hour series called 'The Banana Splits and Friends'. The Banana Splits originally aired on Saturday Mornings on NBC-TV as an hour long show called 'The Banana Splits Adventure Hour' starting in 1968. The series is better remembered by those who are younger (I was born in 1980) as a segment on the syndicated/Cartoon Network series 'The Banana Splits and Friends'.
