"Monkeybone" stars Brendan Fraser, Bridget Fonda, and Whoopi Goldberg with uncredited performances by Thomas Haden Church, Rose McGowan, David Foley, Giancarlo Esposito, Megan Mullally and Chris Kattan :

"...'Stu Miley' (Fraser) is a disillusioned cartoonist whose comic strip features a rascal monkey named 'Monkeybone'. Stu is also in love with sleep institute worker 'Dr. Julie McElroy' (Fonda), who helped him deal with his terrible nightmares by changing his drawing hand.

"One night, Stu crashes his car after accidentally activating an inflatable Monkeybone toy and falls into a coma.

"His spirit ends up in 'Down Town', a limbo-like carnival landscape populated by human beings, mythical creatures and figments of people's imaginations..."
