Lucas the Spider, a.k.a. the cutest animated spider you’ll ever see, is back. In a new short from Joshua Slice, Lucas is stuck outside on a frigid night. He looks in the window of a warm house and admires the fireplace, pointing out how he could warm all eight of his legs if he was allowed in. We’re now considering opening our homes to let all the chilly spiders indoors–especially if they look like Lucas.Original post:Lucas the Spider may be little more than a mere animation test, and yet he’s winning the hearts of the whole internet already—to the point that he probably needs his own series, a three-picture guarantee at Pixar, and a book deal.Not exactly a full short film, the fuzzy, too-many-eyed arachnid is the creation of Joshua Slice, a professional animator who’s worked on Big Hero 6, Zootopia, and other cartoon features.In the 20-second video, Lucas (voiced by Slice’s nephew Lucas) greets us, introduces himself, and jumps off to his web.
And Since We’re Talkin’ Spiders…
- Here’s a spider whose butt looks like Pikachu (really).
- This spider is Peter Parker-levels of insane.
- And finally, a time-lapse of a spider building its web.
