He spent several years after Gumby animating after school specials, TV pilots, and numerous commercials including such icons as Hershey Kisses, Listerine bottles, and the Pillsbury Doughboy. Mike then began to animate on feature films. These films included "The Nightmare Before Christmas", "James and the Giant Peach" , "Walt Disney's Dinosaur" , "Kangaroo Jack"and most recently was the animation supervisor on Disney's "Meet the Robinsons".
