Overview

Walt Disney said “We have created characters and animated them in the dimension of depth, revealing through them to our perturbed world that the things we have in common far outnumber and outweigh those that divide us.” Outside of Walt himself there are few people who have brought together and united more animators in the history of the genre than Craig "Spike" Decker and Mike Gribble, known to all as Spike & Mike. They created an animation festival that helped launch the careers of John Lasseter, Peter Lord, Will Vinton, Bill Plympton and Mike Judge to name just a few. Their Spike & Mike festival had an enormous impact on animation that was felt the world over. The festival was known as much for the breakthrough animation it presented as the outrageous antics of the founders.

The film is an affectionate tribute to Craig “Spike” Decker and Mike Gribble, two legends who changed the world of animation by not only launching the careers of some of the most talented and well-known artists working today, but were the first to give them a platform to screen and distribute their work to a wide audience.

The documentary features an impressive roster of ...read the rest
