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
Description
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.

Amazon Messup.......2006-03-15
The tracks on 1 - 18 were correctly listed, but track 19 was WRONG... it is NOT Devil Went Down to Georgia.... fortunately I did return it and recieve credit, but it was meant to be a gift which I ended up not getting to someone on time
Sick humor...without the humor.......2005-04-19
I like sick jokes and cartoons as much as the next guy. Why else would I buy a DVD like this? Unfortunately, the toons in this collection have no wit or point to them at all.
Example:"Teach Me"- Cartoon frogs mate in unusual positions, one frog kills the other with a razor and a knife, surviving frog continues to mate with the dead frog, then he pleasures himself while staring at the sun and his eyes burst into flames, The End.
I reiterate, I'm the kind of guy who considers American Psycho a comedy. These animations are not funny or insightful at all, just unpleasant to watch.
If you like this you'll also like..........2004-10-13
Hi I have been a big fan of animation my whole life.I went to College very close to Cal Arts and so I knew many animators. While this DVD does contain many great films you should also check out this guys site http://www.nickgibbons.com. This is a friend of mine who just released his animation DVD. It is very funny, but he has no way of getting the word out. Check out his site and trust me, it's worth the price. He has a short on this Spike and Mike DVD, but he told me he doesn't see a dime anything they sell. Check out his site and please help support independent film making.
Not the best still very good.......2004-01-20

Garbage!.......2003-12-13

Customer Reviews:
Oh, Spike & Mike, what has happened to you?.......2006-06-18
Well, the stop-action furniture piece was somewhat amusing, beyond that, there is nothing I can really recommend here. Poor concepts, poor execution, and yes, flash animation you can get for free online (Happy Tree Friends). Don't waste your time or money friends, this is a clunker! in The early 90s, Spike & Mike used to be a must-see showcase of animation, but this...bottom of the barrel.
amateur DVD that looks like a video cassette dub.......2004-08-03
Very poor all around... the one or two cartoons on here that are actually any good are of very poor video cassette quality. I felt like I was watching an amateur VHS dub, instead of a properly authored DVD.
Thankfully the decent cartoons on here are available on other more professional DVD releases.
A word to the wise consumer: don't be fooled just because the format is DVD! DVD does not mean anything if the source materials that an amateur company uses are sub par!
This one is for the ages.......2004-04-23
The second dvd in the sick and twisted collection is one of the best dvd's i ever bought. It has it all, maakies, Happy tree friends, and the tripped out horned grandma. Clocking in under 2 Hrs this is defenaty a party dvd to show.
Don't waste your money.......2004-03-19
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
Best one yet.......2004-02-21
I don't usually like cartoons, but this one really had some very funny bits. There was some real violent skits called Happy Tree Friends that was very witty. Can't wait for the next one, Unprotected - I'll tell you all how it is.
Customer Reviews:
Stupid and Unfunny.......2003-03-25
I was having a downright cheerful day until I watched this dvd. When I first saw the case I thought, "Hey, Spike and Mike! They've introduced some really cool stuff over the years." Unfortunately, almost none of it shows up on this dvd. The only short I can recommend in good conscience is the Bill Plympton short, How to Make Love To A Woman. If the dvd were about $2, Plympton would be worth it, but for a price [that's higher], I have to suggest avoiding it at all costs. Unless you find the prospect of various animals, vegetables and minerals defecating in many non-hilarious ways, stay far, far away.
Saw in theaters.......2002-07-10
I saw the first 3 episodes of Spike and Mike in San Francisco at the theaters. What an experience! It was loads of fun. Even though the video does not have Scotty the Balloon eating dog chomping on a blow up girl doll, the video is great but definately not for younger viewers. I saw the festival of animation 1-3 in the Theaters and would recommend it for younger viewers. I do think some of the *fun* was lost in the tape and not having the experience of being there but it is still worth getting and hard to come by...
A bit disappointing!!!.......2002-02-07
I was a huge fan of the S n'T shows while I was in college. With much anticipation, I awaited the arrival of this DVD. After watching it, I immidiately put it up for auction on EBAY. I would not recommend. I have heard that vols. 1 and 2 are pretty cool. I think vols. 1 and 2 are the clips that they showed in the theatres while on tour in the early 90's.
1 ..., 2 and 3 were good, haven't seen the rest.......2001-07-26
The title says it all... This, along with part 3 was pretty damn funny. 1 ..., don't waste your money... but 2 and 3 are worth it. Haven't seen 4-6 or the DVD's so I couldn't tell ya how they compare. As somebody else already said, you have to sort through some stupid ones, but there are enough funnies to keep ya laughing.... FF through Furniture Phillangies... the worste cartoon of em all.....
Sick indeed.......2001-07-15
Generally I enjoy all kinds of animation, hardly there is a piece that I wouldn't want to see. So I bought this disc and I've been waiting for delivery with great anticipation.. I was embarrassed in the end, that's a pity. It's not the sickness that made me sad, but sickness without any idea or a single emotion, sickness solely for the sake of sickness.
Still I think that this disc is worthy just for 2-3 titles that are great nevertheless. If you're a fan and just can't get enough of moving pictures, get it; after all it's not a mainstream and is different. On the second thought, such kind of "off-stream" exists thanks to the mainstream animation, it is provoked by domination of sweetness and family values on screen. But such an art doesn't have any value on its own and that made up my poor 2-star rating.

TV World Satire Starring Wil Wheaton.......2007-06-11
Were there other actors besides Wil? I'm kidding. Kim Little played a very good impersonation of a childlike couch potato. This movie was packed with talent. If you enjoy the outrageous comedy of SNL, you'll enjoy this film. So many good and funny actors, such silly scenes and such interesting artistic techniques: this movie is will be a classic one day!
Wil Wheaton fans, like me, would certainly love to get this film as a gift. When I was 11 I had a huge crush on him. After more then a decade, I still have a crush on him and I always "WIL." He's such a sweet guy! In this film he gets the closest close-up I've ever seen in any movie. You can actually tell that his eyes are green or hazel. He makes lovy dovy stares at the camara! If you've ever had a crush on celebrity, you could understand how thilling it is. I've only seen this movie once, yesterday, but I hope I'll always come back to it, in tact, and relive all those youthful feelings. God bless all those people who make movies like this one!
Pitiful.......2004-12-18
"Jane White is Sick and Twisted" is an extremely cheap piece of schlock paying homage to television. I hate television so I generally despised this movie. I tried not to despise it, and I watched enough network television as a kid to get most of the references in the film, but nonetheless I disliked this movie immensely. My opinion of television hovers somewhere near my opinion of communism: it sounds like a great idea in theory, but fails miserably in practice. There is something so plebian about sitcoms, made for television movies, and reality shows that should rankle anyone with an education extending beyond the fourth grade. I know that sounds snobby, and hypocritical as well considering that I do enjoy a few television shows ("The Rockford Files" and "Soap," for example), but that's how it is. The most frightening thing about television has little to do with the vacuous personalities who appear on it; it's how the medium changes your perceptions of reality. Don't believe me? Quit watching the box for several months and then tune in again. You'll be amazed how quickly your mental acuity dissipates. Unfortunately, too many people keep watching day in and day out just like the titular character in this movie.
Jane White (Kim Little) represents an extreme example of the television junkie. She has spent her entire life in front of the tube, to the point that she can no longer distinguish between reality and unreality. Her mother (Alley Mills) suffers from a chronic form of agoraphobia and thus is detached from her daughter's life. Jane's father, or so she believes, is a sleazy television talk show host named Gerry King (David Lauder), a man who makes Jerry Springer look like Ted Koppel. The only outside influence on Jane appears to be a local sleaze ball named Burger (Chris Hardwick) who shows up at the house from time to time. White does, however, keep in e-mail contact with a convicted serial killer named Kenny Kingman (Mickey Jones) even though her intense television schedule never afforded her the opportunity to learn how to write in any known language. One day, Jane conceives of a brilliant idea: why not do something outrageous in order to earn a spot on the Gerry King show? She can finally meet her father! White quickly takes cues from the program, dressing up as a harridan and roaming the streets at night just as King's guests do. The result of this expedition is odd to say the least. She meets up with a couple of transvestites (Andrew Lauer and Eric Lutes from "Caroline in the City"), a pimp (Debra Wilson), and a potential customer with a heart of gold (Colin Mochrie in the film's only redeeming performance).
With a little help, Jane sets out to see Gerry King. She quickly hooks up with a young dim bulb by the name of Smith (Wil Wheaton), and the two embark on their own series of adventures. They go, for example, out into the desert to make themselves available for abduction to any passing aliens (that darn King show again). Frankly, by this time I started dozing off from sheer boredom, so the rest of the movie became one big blur. I recall that Kenny Kingman escaped from prison in order to visit his pen pal. I also recall Alley Mills hooking up with next-door neighbor Burger. We also get a few scenes from King's wacked out television show, particularly a segment where a black man claiming to be Jesus (Phil LaMarr) argues with two trailer trash chicks named Tiffany and Nancy (Danica McKellar and Maureen McCormick respectively). Too, Richard Kline (Larry from "Three's Company") pops up from time to time as a television news anchor named Chris Jobin. It's not as though I missed anything of significance at any point in the film, though. "Jane White is Sick and Twisted" is, truthfully, television incarnate. Just like watching television in real life, you won't remember anything five minutes after you've seen it.
I do, most regrettably, remember Kim Little as Jane White. She mugs constantly at the camera, decked out in braces, wacky hairdos, and a fashion sense you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy. And she has a tendency to embark on disjointed monologues the likes of which haven't been heard since Katherine Helmond played Jessica Tate on "Soap," except they aren't nearly as funny as the latter. Little's over the top performance nearly obscures the numerous minor television personalities appearing in the film. Aside from the ones previously mentioned, we also see Ted Shackelford, Michelle Phillips, and even Dustin Diamond (Screech from "Saved by the Bell") as a wig wearing motel desk clerk. So what does all of this collected talent do for the film? Nothing. Nada. Doughnut. "Jane White is Sick and Twisted" is one of the most asinine, banal, poorly conceived ideas for a film ever thought up by a human being. In fact, I'm not sure a human being made this film. I wonder about all of those television signals that have been soaring through space since the medium's inception. I suspect an alien race analyzed these signals and made this as a result. You certainly need an alien sense of humor to laugh at this clunker.
The DVD version of the film contains a boatload of extras. There's a commentary track I didn't bother listening to, three trailers I barely watched, filmographies I ignored, deleted scenes I yawned my way through, games I wouldn't be caught dead playing, and some behind the scenes and making of stuff that sheds little light on why anyone would make such an atrocious film. Even worse, the picture and audio quality are the equivalent of week old bread. Take a pass on this one, folks. Life's too short to waste it watching drivel like this.
Definitely "out there".......2004-08-09
I wanted to see this movie for Danica McKellar ever since I saw a photo of her character. She has done a bunch of small stuff recently, but none of it's on DVD. Anyway, she only had about 2 minutes screen time (counting the bonus stuff), but it was worth it. "Winnie" she is not, here. Her character appears on a Jerry Springer show equivalent as a gum-smacking, stretch-pant wearing, sexually starved wife of a black man who thinks he's the son of God. Her husband argues back and then proceeds to french kiss Maureen McCormick's character, who is wearing a plastic bird on her head.
Alley Mills was a welcome addition as the alcoholic, smoking mother. Again, not "Norma Arnold" at all. She had a good sized role and was great.
The movie is definitely "out there". I'm not one for goofiness or silliness, but this made me laugh a bit, regardless.
Worth renting at least - and buying of you are a fan of Kim Little, Wil Weaton, or even Alley Mills. Lots of other TV people in supporting roles.
JANE WHITE IS JEJEUNE AND BANAL.......2004-07-13
I can't believe the packaging on this DVD actually had a blurb comparing it to BEING THERE. Actually, I can't believe anyone would compare JANE WHITE to much of anything other than maybe some would-be teenage cineaste's awkward first attempt at filmmaking.
Painful to watch! I did not laugh once. My friend only rented it because she likes Colin Mochrie. I've only seen WHOSE LINE IS IT? once and scarcely remember it, so he wasn't a draw for me. And like every other actor in this disaster, he is ill served by the script, by the direction and by the awful cinematography (well, it looks like it was shot on video, so I'm not sure you can talk about genuine "cinematography").
I see that some reviewers find this a clever spoof on TV and the TV obsessed mind. And some just seem to like it because it's "cult." I dunno, you reach a point in life, I guess, when a bad film is just a bad film. And I guess at age 51, I've finally reached that point. If this is camp--well, send me HOME!
OK, bad reviews are almost never voted "helpful" on Amazon. That's understandable, I guess. People want to believe the best about a movie (or book or CD) that they're kinda sorta interested in. Or maybe they're already fans, and they're looking for validation. Well, here's some advice that should prove "helpful" for anyone who has yet to see this film. Rent it first. Or better yet borrow it from the library.
Plunk down as little money as possible before you decide whether you might be one of the rare, uh, discriminating few who might actually enjoy JANE WHITE IS SICK IS TWISTED enough to want to own it.
sick & twisted & brilliant.......2004-02-26
This movie made me laugh harder than anything has in a long time. Some of the lines are absolutely precious. "I will handcuff you to my heart, and stab you repeatedly with my love." It's relevant and irreverant and hilarious - everything a good indie comedy should be.
