A spider who runs an hotel for flies in fact has foreboding, disturbing plans for his unsuspecting fly guests.
This cartoon is mainly focused on adapting the strange little song of the same name which we see the spider singing, adding an ominous curl at certain appropriate moments, as this one opens. The flies though they at first seem to be so much cattle to be harvested eventually prove to be of more substance than we initially thought as they end up putting up quite the fight of resistance indeed.
I have to say I enjoyed this one far more than perhaps many would as it carries out a somewhat morbid real world event (spiders do catch flies in their spider webs) and adds an entertaining, delightful twist to the proceedings. It helps that our spider here comes across as being particularly monstrous. Fun if slightly twisted.
