1.0 out of 5 stars Dismal, even for fans of Spike and Mike : (, August 31, 2003

This review is from: Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation: Full Frontal (DVD)

Spike and Mike have been really going downhill in recent years. This very poor and sloppily-made DVD leaves little hope for their future. I was extremely disappointed and a bit angry with this purchase.

I imagine the only reason anyone would want to buy this DVD is for the classic cartoon, "Rejected" - unfortunately the picture and sound quality on this DVD is extremely poor, as it looks like Spike and Mike cheaply copied this film from a murky VHS tape rather than using any real 35mm materials. If "Rejected" is solely what you're after on DVD, it goes without saying you'd be better off with the crystal-clear, official remastered version of the film available directly from the filmmakers at Bitter Films - the difference in quality is night and day.

The other cartoons here are terrible, and most are surprisingly nothing more than poor Flash animations that are already available for free on the internet. None of them are particularly "sick" nor "twisted", either. They are however, universally boring.

My final complaint is that there are no extras. None. There is barely even a menu. What's the point of making a DVD at all if it's got VHS picture and sound quality and has no extras?? Spike and Mike are trying to make another quick buck here by essentially selling us a video tape in a DVD shell. Don't give it to them.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money, March 18, 2004

"richw5000" (Hollywood, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation: Full Frontal (DVD)

I can only guess the positive reviews listed here were written either by children or employees of this DVD's distributor.

I've been involved with independent animation for over thirty years and this is a very desperate "scraping the bottom of the barrel" collection indeed - only one or two of the pieces here are worthwhile, and are available on far higher quality collections elsewhere (in terms of video and audio quality).

The rest of the pieces are subpar, barely-animated Flash cartoons that most websites would be embarrassed to host for free.

The DVD is also very poorly produced and has no extras.

1/5

1.0 out of 5 stars can I have my money back?, September 12, 2003

By 

lucy parker (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation: Full Frontal (DVD)

Very Disappointing. I bought this DVD only for the film "rejected", but then I found out about the all-around superior 'single' DVD version of "rejected" (remastered w/extras, etc) that's only available on ..... - GET THAT VERSION INSTEAD FOLKS!! Seriously. I hope that official single will be on Amazon soon!! "Rejected" is always a cool film but for some reason this version of it looks like it was streamed off an internet bootleg, which I don't understand

So that's strike one. So then I hoped to at least find other cool cartoons on this DVD. Strike two... They're all super bad
and are not even in the same league :( It's like they only had "Rejected" and then piled a bunch of internet junk around it to pad out a release. It's seriously kind of amazing how bad they are. Where are all the other cool animated short films of the world!? I can't imagine this is all they could find?

Strike three, there are no extras anywhere on the DVD: production extras are something I always look forward to, especially with animation releases. Couldn't they have spent some time to offer some original artwork to display? The films just all play in a row with no real polish or care or anything.

To sum up, they kind of took my money and ran fast with this collection. sorry, really not worth it!
