A couple of vacationing flies get more than a bed at the cobweb spider. They have to fight off the concierge, who happens to be a spider! The Spider here is quite scary, and I can imagine the kiddies from when this was made having conniptions about it. And look at all the poor flies that came before them! Awwwww! Luckily, mr vacationing fly has quite a mean hook (because he?s a flyweight you understand) so all turns out well! This is the type of cartoon that gives kids nightmares.

It has the standard 1930's cartoon plot of a bunch of cute little characters battling a big ugly bad guyÂ?Â?in this case, a bunch of flies battling a big ugly spider who runs the "Cobweb Hotel", which is really a front for his web! For all that, though, it's a pretty fun cartoon with great artwork and animation. Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: ***. Weirdness: ***. Historical Interest: ***. Overall Rating: ***.

I always remembered it very vividly. I luckily have it on a Casper the Friendly Ghost VHS but this is a very hard to find cartoon, so we're lucky to have it archived here!

(Remember, he IS studying law)) are made use of in ways they whouldn't normally be. In (Rather early looking) Color! It's prone to bleaching and going too dark. MPPDA! Certificate 0593, if there's any way to look them up now. Sound by Western Electric. Look on Prelinger Archives for something by "W.E. Erpi" that explains how they did it. Also, anyone know what's with the "cuts" in the title paper? The fighting towards the end has war overtones, the pen, and especially the machine gun/atomizer and improvised safety pin/rifle and pen nib/ammunition. The main reason I'm giving this a high rating (Besides the fact I like that genere) is that I remember seeing it AGES ago on TV and now to see it without the commercials and suchlike is just great. Thanx again! -uniQ PS. It should be a 5 star file, but there're a few glitches here and there and some of the voices are hard to hear. This all may be on my end. Look @ it anyway.

A carniverous spider is foiled by some militant flies and then dumped in a pot of "library paste"?? But it's not Bugs Bunny! but still rather original.
