The Old Lady and the Spider - A Wise Aniboom Animation by Alexis De Jesus Costa

[ParadigmRabbit]

The animation style and music together made this story very compelling. It felt warm.

[terribithiajjls12]

How did that help the spider make friends? The only person who liked it was the same old lady who liked it in the beginning.

[ElkieTrekker]

@terribithiajjls12 Probably people would start to like and value the spider once its helpfulness and ability to dispel nightmares became known.

[odddity]

<3. Score 1 for the spider. Yet, they still creep me out.

[ShadowFolf]

This was so beautiful.

[BumLolly]

Tis is why i love all creatures :)

[Heaven767]

i like it! so this a show that you made yourself, like you can't find it on TV am I right.

[DanceDanceCrazy555]

aw he made her a dream catcher

[Trancemaniac3000]

aww that was sweet

[LoaderTorrent]

AH! Ein Traumfänger?

[DoreanGrace]

"Dreamcatcher, the spider weaves, so fear is laid to rest, and so it leaves"

There's a lot that I may have misunderstood in this animation, but the respect the elder has for our little friend actually made me whimper a bit. I do that often with venomous spiders that find their way into my room, but I don't keep them there for fear of them biting me by accident. I usually just throw them back outside.

[LeaClaire1996]

Nice.. but I still find spiders creepy.. But I won't kill them

[meerkatfan123]

So cool

[MrAceofSpades99]

This is a really good animation, it really shows that you should be friends with animals and care for them.

[trinitrotolyol]

hm.. a dream catcher?

[DrawingOtaku101]

god damn that spider is cute.

[mineung]

So this was how dream catchers were made

[Lordodragonss]

Sometimes it;s making me sad that animals can't understand exactly what we talk to them :<

[MrAceofSpades99]

@Lordodragonss I know I sometimes imagine that when I talk to my dog I imagine that she talks back to me. I wish it was like that with all animals.

[k1ssmyc0w]

that looks like ubaba from spirited away HAHA and i wish spiders were that cute.....too bad...too bad.

[TsukiHana146]

This was so cute, and the little spider was so adorable....I wish real spiders were that cute. The real ones are just....well....there ugly...just ugly.

[Pestinha92]

@TsukiHana146 Spiders aren't ugly and they are probably more afraid of you than you of them. Face your fears, try to get them on a small container or paper and set the free, in a window or something, you'll feel much better than smashing them right away. Everyone can kill, but few can spare lives.

[tutrik]

not sure how it's supposed to be wise, but a cute animation nonetheless.

[Tubed233]

This is the first animation I watch from your channel.. Great video, great animation!

I will subscribe this for sure :)

Keep it going!

[HigHGuyism]

aah cutest spider in the world!!! <3

[Kasayk310]

that was actually very good. Loved the story.

[guppylover28]

Amazing animation, the story is very clear!

[genelin1995]

Who ever made this must be a very talented person.

[MedicalCertificate]

wow, very cute. :D

[richieboyland2]

this was very good!!!2

[channelofepicwin]

My Mum bought me a dream catcher when I was young.

[verbod]

j'adore !

[kayecel0214]

[CORALDAVID]

[sprinklez057]

[Mortalvis]

[VenusDotCom]

[shiblets]

Cool story. The sound quality was a bit low with he voices though.

[omgallusuck]

someone was high

[figure8life]

Fantastic animation, Thank you for making my day Aniboom !!

[ErasmusBasset]

The old lady with a spider in her cunt.

[xxLiviaCorriganxx]

soo cute! ^-^ It's like the origin of the dream catcher?

[rrtt1]

So the spider made the little girl a dream catcher?

[drorjs]

nice!

[true2me713]

this is so cute :D

[futurefashionista101]

:]

[mama123890]

cool...but what the point?...

To respect people that are different?...

To help others?...

To care about everyone and everything?...

[xxLiviaCorriganxx]

@mama123890 no i think it's to show where the dream catcher came from =)

[DragonsoulTheReach]

very good^^ I like the music ;D

[WafaaAkmal]

Inspiring!

[Invisifly2]

Cute

[Storhonta]

Great video :)

[w1nos]

wow... thank...

[chachaman50]

the spider mad a dreamcatcher!

[RighteousPsycho]

It's a shame people don't treat spiders like this in real life.

[GoWxGaiA]

then aniboom uploads the deleted scene of the old lady smashing the spider at the end.... lol

[servedraw]

I liked the spiders afro.

[TheSuperNerd14]

Cutest Spider. Ever.

[ZealonChaosMagi]

That was so beautiful.

[ANDROB3TA]

The animator is Jesus? O.o :P

[cloudsurfer007]

Dude,,,this rocks!

[pusho12]

3:15 is when this animation suddenly became amazing for me

[Cutiepiesweetyxxx]

I think 8 people need a dream catcher :)

[Solomon43822]

@Cutiepiesweetyxxx I have a dreamcatcher!!!@v@

[kerowolf10]

[StarJinx101]

Such an awesome video... I think the spider looked cute... :D

[punkiliciousXghurl]

awww !!!! its a dreamcatcher ! :D

[MissBMoon]

And this way Dreamcatcher's were born ^_^

[SilentSkys]

I hate spiders but this was an ok animation.

[l101177]

LOVE the artistry. amazing style.

[ClayFishy]

does dat spidy have an afro?

[xophotoloverjs]

This was sooo cute and sweet ;) awesome job!!!!

[darkwolf2343]

dis is made by a budist

[KKGCpower]

I didn't need the subs!

[RamuCastro]

Aniboom, a constant source of inspiration. I hope some of my work one day will be featured by them.

[heeejkal]

hmpf, a bit kitsch... it would be much better if it was shorter and mute

[RedEbSeb13]

Oh wow! This is Amazing!!! The animation, the story, everything is amazing!

It feels so warm, and i love the story how the dream-catcher was made!

It's so Beautiful! <3

And it's in French, so i can understand the voices too! :D

[effraja]

what a wonderful story!

[tdcmoncton]

The only piece of constructive criticism is that this should've been done in an original dialect other than French (Micmac, Abenaqui, etc).

[bamit1979]

amazing !!

[AssholePatrol]

Wonderful!

[Devega33]

may i ask, is aniboom a girl?

[aniBOOM]

@Devega33 Aniboom is thousands of animators... :)

[Devega33]

@aniBOOM ya i know that, but are you a girl? =P

[Ramonerdna]

wow!!! at 1st this threatened to be just another predictable sub par animation animation but somewhere after the first 3 minutes, the creativity of it really caught me of guard. I like the animation style; 1st grade simple colouring but it still flows in a fluid way and the spiders character design was cute and awesome.

[aniBOOM]

@Ramonerdna Great, glad you liked it!

[silverseth7]

@Ramonerdna I completely agree. At first, I was just curious with the title. Once seeing the art style, I got even more curious as to how it would fit into the story. All in all, it's amazing. Me personally, I'm a dedicated videogamer and one thing I have learn from that is that graphics don't make a game. The same rule applies for a great number of things. This being a fine example.

[MrOzMendez]

I love this so much!!

[7kandie]

@MrOzMendez its not just an native indian superstition. I wonder if you have ever had once cause ive had one since i was 8 and i never have bad dreams by the way im in my early 20s so it does work you just have to believe it. And yes im part native american

[MrOzMendez]

@7kandie Cool! I'm Latin American.

[lakaygayyad]

Is this the legend of a dream catcher?

[MrChristian326]

@lakaygayyad .... That's exactly what I was thinking. Nice video too.

[Vorpike]

pretty bad audio and slow too...i was probably gonna rate it up when i saw the "wise" part...but that isn't really wise at all...

[KakashiHatake101]

That was both beautiful and cute, thank you for such an adorable animation.

[GenuisNdaMakin]

love it!!

[masterloki2178]

what's that round thing the spider made?

[Emmelinehehe]

@masterloki2178 A dream catcher

[sajibaby1]

@masterloki2178 a dream catcher.....they say it traps bad dreams....ppl believe in it, well not me. it's more a native indian superstition.

[narikohirai0710]

superb story.. love it!

[ImpMarsSnickers]

So ! That's the legend ! =O amazing !1!

[fegolem]

I liked the story and animation. It was sweet.

[glowworm2]

Now that was clever--and beautifully animated. The spider was especially cute.

Quite refreshing compared to some videos where you know right away that the little creature is going to be smashed.

[aniBOOM]

@glowworm2 Thanks!

[dangyent]

I am guessing the 4 who didn't like it can do a much better job, good for you (^_^). I personally think it is fantastic (^_^). LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!

[casualsharpiee]

LOVE THIS!

[AnimeLady04]

That was so sweet!!!!

[member186]

lol 0:48!

[MarmaladeINFP]

An enjoyable little tale. I only glanced on the title before clicking on the video and I originally thought it was "The Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly". LOL A completely story which I was excited to see animated, but this wasn't a disappointment.

[tashtan1]

i love when people for different countries use different unique words for words that we use today in America, american everyday language is boring, it became too simple, Using different unique words is awesome for example i never thought there was such word "befriends" there are a lot more that i read in subtitles of aniBOOM's videos i just dont remember them all

[Deathschild87]

awww that was so cute =3 i loved it

[vampire17vero]

omgod i always wanted to get a nightmare catcher ..now i really want one!! the animation and story line was absolutly superb!! <3

[Bidmartinlo]

Nice animation, although I don't really fancy the indians that much... :D

[D8W]

awesome!!! with amazimg music...!

[hoppetosse8]

ah - love the story! Although the energy of the spider is different in my view (it's a bit cheesy with this high voice etc.) - but I like the idea of the story and that animals are treated as sort of brothers and sisters!

[ZoeTsunami]

Oh, wow =D Another great animation! Thank you aniboom!

[aniBOOM]

@ZoeTsunami You're welcome, sweet dreams!

[LadyCaylith]

Very lovely. Well done! May we all have such sweet dreas thanks to our little friends. :)

[jimipage6662]

Well done!,thumb up!

[welchaj]

that was so cute

[a9m0i0r]

So, does the spider have friends now? lol

[ChristmasCarolyn]

Oh gosh, when I saw the spider spinning it's web in the round branch, I just knew what it's making already.

Brilliant! =D

[CoffeeChicken]

I'm I hearing french in this?

[Mafiaboss58]

sweet

[nytshadeauthentic]

I've got arachnophobia but it's nice to see spiders spinning webs in making dream catchers to ward off nightmares.

[Redsama226]

Waah! Nice animation! The little spider is very lovely!

But I guess I will still be scared by spiders haha

[Leadman1989]

i would have still crushed him i hate spiders ewww... :p

[difficultbastard]

@Leadman1989 The other day i ate a pack of crisps (chips in America) and lazily chucked the empty pack behind me on my bedroom floor. I carried on using the computer and heard rustling - It was a huge spider pushing the pack out of her way. Gives me shivers thinking about it.

[Leadman1989]

@difficultbastard

O.O

oh my god i would have freaked out im 6ft 1in 160 pounds and i would have been standing on tables and screaming XD

[fashionfashionsuper]

From the moment I was waiting for it to completely load before watching it, I knew it was going to be about a dream catcher... but I wonder if the spider and the young girl became friends...

[Alanteen18]

I liked this very much, good job :D

[maxrobox]

Buddy i am not an animator

but i still like ur videos coz they contain something called reality in them

[maxrobox]

Buddy i am not an animator

but i still like ur videos coz they contain something called reality in them

[aeronus7]

wow! now that's awesome

[Ogopogo57]

I got a dreamcatcher about 2 years ago. I already had a smaller one, so I just put my old one over my snake's tank ^^

[rebeldragon1]

is that really how the dream catcher was invented? wow

[annaenpopannaen]

Der Charme des Videos ist wundervoll! Auch wenn sehr klischebehaftet- eine schöne Story ist es allemal ( :

[reddreamer]

I had some inkling as to the spiders fate. Dream catchers work quite well to keep nightmares at bay.

[Wowbagger86]

The simplistic and athmospheric music adds to much to the already beautiful animation.

[Wowbagger86]

@Wowbagger86 adds SO much ... not to much..

[TutorialsHelps]

I thought it said , The old Lady and the Sniper xD

[Caseyjayable]

This is awesome. What program do you use to do your animation?

[aniBOOM]

@Caseyjayable Please go to our FAQs tab on our Facebook page, link in the description. Thanks!

[FatalMindedMe]

This is fantastic! The storyline is so unique and amazing! I loved the colouring style in this~

[aniBOOM]

@FatalMindedMe Thanks!

[rotsebanotman]

"i did the nightmare again"?????????????????

but this was an amazing animation, good job!

[alienwarealien0]

did this vid say it was done by jesus :P

[rionhunter]

Man, the style of this animation is brilliant.

[iAmJush]

reminds me of old cartoons ! realy special and unique !!!

[fofarabs]

aniBOOM is The Best

[aniBOOM]

@fofarabs Thanks, I'm blushing...

[guzotak]

@aniBOOM I would like to ask you, are all aniBOOM comments written by one person and one person only? If so who is he? Is he, like, the "leader" of aniboom? Or is aniboom just one person who gathers different animations? Or are there several people?

[ThePianistPassion]

dunno native can speak french XD

[ss4cypher]

very good :3

[WorldStove]

wonderful story and animation...would that they were all this good.

[AliWomen2]
