We heard your voices! Or more specifically…we heard one person’s voice that’s been asking us to play Monkeybone every month for the past few years. And now it’s time to celebrate 25 years of Henry Selick’s cult classic!

After a car crash sends repressed cartoonist Stu into a coma, he and the mischievous Monkeybone, his hilarious alter-ego, wake up in a wacked-out waystation for lost souls. 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!

Upon release, Monkeybone was considered a commercial and critical failure. Audiences didn’t know what to make of its surreal blend of live action, stop-motion animation, adult humor, grim fantasy–the list goes on and on. But over time, that same strangeness became its appeal. Fans of “how did a major studio make this?” type of films should be lining up around the block for this one.
