Todd McFarlane may be an iconic comic book creator who brought the world Spawn, but he's also left his mark as a music video director. One of his most enduring collaborations on that front is Pearl Jam's "Do the Evolution" video, which he co-directed with Kevin Altieri (Batman: The Animated Series). The animated musical spectacle breaks open time and space for three-and-a-half minutes and saw McFarlane work closely on editing with Eddie Vedder. Now, on the 25th anniversary of the release, the band and writer have ed forces to share more of it with the world.

While at San Diego Comic-Con this year, McFarlane stopped by Screen Rant's media suite and exclusively announced that Pearl Jam would be releasing behind-the-scenes art from "Do the Evolution," as well as a remastered music video. Given that the song is arguably one of the band's greatest artistic achievements, and McFarlane's video captures its essence so well, fans are sure to cherish any additional insight into the creative process. Pearl Jam recently shared a previously unreleased video of them performing the song during their Give Way performance in Melbourne, proving that the celebrations really are year-round.
