This was the premise of the 1978 UK cult classic, _Monkey_, which was a low budget Chinese comic adaptation of _Journey to the West_, dubbed --- poorly --- into English with ludicrous cod-Chinese accents. The Stone Monkey, a pig man, a swamp thing, and a dragon pretending to be a horse accompany a saintly monk on a never-ending journey to India, encountering demons of the mind and then beating the crap out of them. And it is brilliant (for certain specialist definitions of the word 'brilliant').
