Frequently Asked Questions

What is Monkeybone about? Toggle content

Monkeybone is a fantasy-adventure comedy film about a repressed cartoonist named Stu Miley who, after a car crash, finds himself in a coma and enters a strange purgatory-like limbo filled with mythical gods and creatures. His mischievous alter-ego, Monkeybone, takes over his body and escapes to wreak havoc on the real world. With the help of his friend Herb, Stu must outwit Death and stop Monkeybone before his sister pulls the plug on reality forever. Along the way, Stu encounters a cast of eccentric characters, including a catgirl waitress and a malicious satyr-like god of sleep, in a world that blends fantasy and reality. Will Stu be able to stop Monkeybone and save the world before it's too late?
