Spike & Mike's Animation Extravaganza is a one-of-a-kind celebration of indie animation, bringing audiences the boldest, weirdest, and most creative animated short films.

Spike & Mike’s Animation Extravaganza is proudly presented by Skybound Entertainment.

Our 2025 Animation Extravaganza was a three day theatrical release over Halloween weekend—10/31 through 11/2. More updates for 2026 coming soon! Follow us on Instagram to stay in the loop.

We are not accepting submissions for animated shorts...for now...👀 The best way to stay connected is by signing up for our newsletter or following up on Instagram to get the latest updates, announcements, and future opportunities.

Do you like animation? Do you like art? Do you laugh otherwise you'd cry? If you answered yes or maybe to any of these questions—then this is perfect for YOU, but you might also want to seek therapy 🫪
