I really want to know about the interactions between Spark Double and Animate Dead type enchanments.
On my Aminatou's deck for example I have used Animate Dead to Reanimate Spark Double to targets Aminatou and he becomes a Planeswalker and "not a creature in addiction to its other types" anymore like Phyrexian Metamorph which has a text on it:"... except it's an artifact in addition to its other types."
May I have to sacrifice Spark Double when he becomes a Planeswalker or Animate Dead stays in attached to him even though he is a PW?
If I Blink Animate Dead after Reanimate him I need to sacrifice him?
Where Animate Dead says "that creature's", it refers to the permanent brought to the battlefield with Animate Dead, regardless of whether that permanent was a creature upon entering the battlefield or whether Animate Dead could be attached to that permanent (C.R. 700.7).
If the permanent brought to the battlefield with Animate Dead isn't a creature upon entering the battlefield, Animate Dead won't be attached to that permanent, since it isn't a "creature" as Animate Dead's enchant ability requires, so that as a result, Animate Dead will go to the graveyard as a state-based action for being attached to an illegal object, namely the card that permanent used to be (C.R. 701.3a-b, 303.4, 704.5m).

When Animate Dead's ETB trigger resolves, it becomes an aura with "enchant creature put onto the battlefield with Animate Dead", then the Spark Double moves from the graveyard to the battlefield entering as a planeswalker, then AD tries to attach and can't since the double isn't a creature, so it stays unattached. As an unattached aura it goes to the graveyard as a state based action. When AD leaves the batlefield, its sacrifice clause triggers, and even though the Double is not a creature, "that creature" refers to the permanent that entered via AD, wether it entered as a creature or not. so you have to sacrifice it.
Is it sacrificed cause when animate dead says its creature's controller sacrifices it. If it becoming a plainswalker as it enters it is no longer a creature.

The permanent brought to the battlefield with Animate Dead has to be sacrificed with Animate Dead even if that permanent isn't a creature at the time (because it's a Spark-Double-turned-planeswalker, for example). Again, where Animate Dead says "that creature's", it refers to that permanent even if it isn't a creature (C.R. 700.7).
