In addition to the song of this title (once noded by knifegirl), James Kochalka has also written and published a graphic novel called "Monkey vs. Robot." (When I saw that title at the library, I couldn't resist picking up something that used so many E2 semi-mascots.) It is done in a very simple-looking art style in dark green and white and has very few words (the monkeys, of course, don't speak English, and the robots just don't say much). But the story of the robot factory at the edge of the jungle, the monkeys who live in the jungle, and how each group comes to feel threatened by the other, and the result of their war, is very moving. In a February 2003 interview, Kochalka says that he is drawing a sequel, Monkey vs. Robot and the Crystal of Power.

There are two short films of this title, both using Kochalka's song as a soundtrack. Swerve Pictures has a listing for an animated film called Monkey vs. Robot, by Geoff Marslett, and Sci-Fi.com lists a live-action film made by Nate Pommer.
