Yeah, for my next film I will need to animate a banana.
Hmm...
Basically my idea was for the banana to look something like this:
And I connect a wire to "legs" and the body of the banana so it can walk around on them and stuff without falling over. Maybe a few wires.
I'm not sure if that will work very well. Although it will be able to stand up, animation may be difficult. Any suggestions?
I think VIM meant it to look something like this: 
The wires are red. Mini tripod-ish.
You might want to have three peels on the ground instead of just two. It'll be a lot more stable.
Mmm. That might be a wise choice there. I will probably do an animation test on the weekend, see what works.
Then I will eat the banana.
Looks like it's got a mod edit - no thanks
Dude, family friendly? ^ 
Pfft. Vik is the most family-friendly person I know.
you could always try this:
Dude, family friendly? ^
If the thing I mentioned didn't exist you wouldn't exist and than you wouldn't have a family so I figured it was family friendly. Guess not, sorry about that.
I have to admit, in a way Vik's got a point 
(Ontopic) Here is an animated commercial I saw for the Xbox, in the first scene, they hold the spider up with a rope, perhaps if you can make something of this sort, it would be easier for you. Finished product

Once I animated a banana. But it didn't walk around on it's peel, so I'm afraid I can't help you there.

Haha nice point vik.
Real Brick, love the propeller idea. I might use that somewhere in the film.
VIM, I might try using rope, although I'm not sure how that will affect the masking (it would create shadow, yeah?). BTW love the Xbox ad.
Hmm animating a banana... this is proving to be a most perplexing kerfuffle indeed.
And maybe put the banana in the fridge for like 2hours before animating.
You could also give the banana 3 things to walk on and one thing to shoot. Like 4 in total.
Oh yeah. That would be way easier.
Maybe you could make a banana into a marionette?
Animate the crowds running away separately.
