The film does a fine job of showing how much these profitable tours meant to young filmmakers who otherwise had few outlets for their films.

Variety

A dizzying mix of talking heads and eye-candy toon clips enliven this whirlwind history of Spike & Mike's Festival of Animation.

FilmWeek (LAist)

It's interesting, but I think a little repetitious and long. It's just fun to see these clips and the filmmakers, though.

Obvious from the tributes in this film that Spike & Mike inspired an incredible amount of experimentation by young animators expanding the world of animation. Think about it, Rick and Morty's brazen, gross comedy might never exist without Spike & Mike.

Solzy at the Movies

Perhaps what's most important about Animation Outlaws is that the documentary truly gives Spike and Mike their due.

Rated: 4/5

Film Threat

Animation Outlaws is an artfully crafted love letter to underground animation, from the lurid and grotesque to the stunningly beautiful.

Rated: 8/10
