Production
After the infamy and popular success of the Banana Splits Movie, the crew at Blue Ice Pictures planned a new movie produced in partnership with Mattel, parent company of HIT Entertainment, on an upcoming horror movie based on Barney and Friends. It was originally pitched to Disney under 20th Century Fox, but they rejected it in favor of a horror film adaptation of Chuck E. Cheese's Restaurants.

They later pitched the film to Universal Pictures, who happily accepted the offer to release the upcoming Barney the Dinosaur horror movie adaptation in theaters, and will also make a TV appearance on the Syfy Channel.
