Micro Ventures is an American animated fantasy action series of segments as part of the live-action variety show The Banana Splits Adventure Hour, produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions for NBC's Saturday morning programming. It ran from 1968 and 1969, airing 18 episodes. Micro Ventures was cut from The Banana Splits Adventure Hour when it was rerun as Banana Splits and Friends, leading to somewhat little proof that Micro Ventures was ever part of The Banana Splits Adventure Hour to begin with. Micro Ventures itself was not forgotten entirely, though, as it did rerun on its own on Cartoon Network and Boomerang.
