Spike and Mike's Festival of Animation

Spike & Mike's is a collection ("festival") of short animated films which annually tours theaters, film festivals, and college campuses in North America. It was founded in 1977 by Craig "Spike" Decker and Mike Gribble.

• The Festival of Animation, later renamed the Classic Festival of Animation, was the original format, started in 1977, and continued into the early 2000s.
• The Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation started in 1990 and ran alongside the original festival (which was renamed the Classic festival in this context), becoming the sole festival in the early 2000s as the Classic festival was phased out.
• The New Generation Animation Festival was introduced in February 2010, and is a new show that is distributed along with the Sick and Twisted. "For years now I've had films that didn't quite fit into the Sick and Twisted category, films that are more sophisticated and artistic but at the same of high production value, over-the-top humorous and really an introduction on what's new on the pop cult landscape.
