Monkeybone

Mon, Apr 1, 2024
    Part of
  • Living Cartoons: Live Action Films by Animators
  • and
  • BAM Film 2024
Directed by Henry Selcik (2001)
With Brendan Fraser, Bridget Fonda, John Turturro

It's rude! It's raunchy! It's totally outrageous! After a freak accident sends repressed cartoonist Stu Miley (Fraser) into a coma, he and the mischievous Monkeybone—his hilariously horny alter-ego—wake up in a wacked-out waystation for lost souls. But when Monkeybone takes over Stu's body and escapes to wreak havoc on the real world, Stu has to find a way to stop him before his sister pulls the plug on reality forever. The sole live action feature by Selick (Nightmare Before Christmas, Coraline) reimagines his singular weirdo-goth vibe for a 00s studio comedy.
