Monkeybone is a 2001 dark fantasy comedy directed by Henry Selick , known for its surreal blend of live-action and stop-motion animation. Loosely based on the graphic novel Dark Town by Kaja Blackley, the film is often remembered as a massive box office bomb, recouping only a fraction of its estimated $75 million budget. Release Date: February 23, 2001. Director: Henry Selick.
