The annual Spike & Mike Festival of Animation, now celebrating its 25^th  anniversary, is the leading venue for the underground animation movement and has helped launch the careers of talents such as Nick Park and Peter Lord of Aardman (Wallace & Gromit), John Lasseter (Monsters, Inc.), Craig McCracken (Powerpuff Girls), Mike Judge (Beavis & Butt-head), and many other cutting-edge filmmakers. This fun, irreverent volume is lavishly illustrated with frame grabs, rare production stills, original artwork, and behind-the-scenes photographs, and features interviews with a number of the top underground animators.
