Skybound presents: Spike & Mike’s Festival of Animation

Remember Sonic the Hedgehog’s star turn in the iconic Spike & Mike’s Festival of Animation? Picture it: the year is 2016; the locale is San Diego Comic-Con; SONIC BOOM animated TV series episode EGGMAN THE AUTEUR unspools on the big screen alongside other nutty, micro cinematic masterpieces inside San Diego Convention Center; and thus, the Blue Blur celebrates his 25th birthday in huge nerd fest style.

Gotta go fast . . . to present day and a big announcement at the Toronto Animation Festival (TAAFI). Bottom line: If Sonic ever enjoys a Spike & Mike encore, then he is surely Skybound in more ways than one. The reason is that Skybound Entertainment of WALKING DEAD and INVINCIBLE fame, is the proud new owner and restorer of the Spike & Mike empire.

In a bold business move, Skybound Entertainment, the creator-led multi-platform media company, proclaims a revival of long-running Spike & Mike’s animated film events. Beginning today, submissions are open for short films from North American and British creators. International short film catalogue owners are able to enter their original works for the chance to shine in the newly-minted Skybound Presents: Spike & Mike’s library of animation.

The Fest’s first…
