The annual Spike & Mike Festival of Animation 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", "Chicken Run"), John Lasseter ("Toy Story", "Monsters, Inc"), Craig McCracken ("Powerpuff Girls") Mike Judge ("Beavis and Butt-head") and many other cutting-edge filmmakers. In this survey of the festival's influential work, animation historian Jerry Beck traces the evolution of the festival from a rock concert "filler" to its own arena-sized event that attracts half a million "toonheads" yearly. This volume is 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.

Jerry Beck is an animation historian and the author of Warner Bros. Animation Art. The Fifty Greatest Cartoons, and other books and articles. Todd McFarlane is the creator of Spawn, the best-selling comic book, motion picture, and animated series, and the founder of McFarlane Toys, a leading creator of collectible action figures.
