Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation - Unprotected!: Amazon.ca: Keith Alcorn: DVD

From Amazon.com

Unabashed, unredeemed, and most certainly unwholesome, Unprotected is another perverse romp through the animated wastelands of Spike and Mike. The festivities begin with a round of "No-Neck Joe" 'toons, featuring the stubby little hero in such everyday dilemmas as watching a tennis match (hard to do when you can't turn your head to follow the ball). "Meet the Beaters" is a sick sitcom taking family dysfunctionality to a bloody extreme. "Coco the Junkie Pimp" features clown marionettes who speak like monstrous street pimps, while "Stick Girl's Guide to Sex" is, let's say, an educational film about how to behave when a condom-less male member arrives unexpectedly at one's front door. The best thing on this disc, however, is not so much rude as it is clever: a terrific parody of the old Speed Racer series, mocking the show's early anime style and crazy cadences. --Tom Keogh

This Sick & Twisted traveling cartoon festival was an offshoot of the Spike & Mike Animation Festival, which began as filler at rock concerts twenty-five years ago and remains the leading venue for cutting-edge cartoons. Now a part of the Cannes and Sundance Film Festivals, these yearly events have a massive dedicated following that continue to fill arenas in over 50 markets nationwide. Offering new and upcoming animators a place to showcase their films, the Spike & Mike Animation Festivals have launched the careers of now-famous animators such as Matt Stone and Trey Parker (South Park), Nick Park and Peter Lord of Aardman (Creature Comforts, Chicken Run), Craig McCracken (The Powerpuff Girls), Mike Judge (Beavis and Butthead) and John Lasseter (Toy Story, Monsters Inc.) to name a few.

Incorrect description July 23 2009

By D. Ding

The information may be incorrect. On Spike & Mike's website where the DVD is also sold, the last animation short is listed as "Heavy", not "The Devil Went down to Georgia".
