The Spider and The Butterfly - Animated Short

A little white spider spends her days daydreaming about flying off to meet her other half from her hanging flower pot. Wishing the same company as the butterflies, she makes leaf wings to take off but falls in to the abyss of the grass bellow. There, she will meet a peculiar butterfly and together they'll find a way out of the grass and discover much more.

This is my first fully animated short. It is a labor of love that I've been working on since August of 2017. I'm so happy I get to share this milestone in my life and my career with all of you.

The entire musical score was done by the amazing themusicreborn aka Ben Banas. He's a fellow freelance artist so please check out his content.

Please enjoy it, comment it and share it.

It's cute and all until you realise how horrifying flying spiders would be in real life.

He looked out upon all the butterflies and he said "Ain't none of them as thicc as my girl"

Me: * Crying in Tears of Joy *


The Spider right next to me: What, are you shipping insects now?

I love how the spider-fly is unkowingly living her mothers dream of being a spider that's able to fly.

Every time I take a look at the spider, it makes me think it's angel dust for no reason.

The film: A cute baby Spider with wings
The real Life: *A MONSTER WITH WINGS*

Everyone’s talking about how flying spiders would be scary, and I’m over here wondering if anyone realizes wasps exist…

When I was about 7 I was obsessed with this animation and now it’s been quite a few years now and I finally remember it and it’s like nothing has changed

Six years later and this is still one of the best animated short films I ever watched. I remember how I find the designs of these bug characters so unique, I was such so awe on the animation, and the style and visuals were so mesmerizing. And that ending :') 💖💙

Pink spider kinda look like angel dust for some reason- 😂

[carolinecheney]

Just watched this for the first time, and I gotta say I should've watched this sooner! It's a shame that none of them got to live to see their babies hatch, but that's life for spiders, moths, and butterflies.

*cartoon* a beautiful spider with butterfly wings

Real life:AMA THERE'S A FLYING SPIDER

[Cruznick]

The biologist in me is screaming that's ludicrous. The romantic in me is screaming that it's sweet and beautiful. The romantic is louder.
