Even if you hate spiders, you will love this one. Joshua Slice has put together a short animation and asked his nephew Lucas to do the voice acting. The quirky result turned out to be great, and we’re hoping Pixar turns it into a feature film.
“This is an animation test of a character I’ve been working on,” Slice writes. “I’m responsible for the design, modeling, rigging, animation, lighting, and rendering.” Scroll down to check out the adorable video, and if it still won’t cure your Arachnophobia, have a look at these tiny paws some of these creatures have.

The internet fell in love with Lucas and started developing his full-length story
My brain hurts because of confussion... It is sooo adorable... but it is spider... but so cute... but with so many legs.........
Yeah, they are kind cheating by not really showing how he'S crawling. :-D That is what always sends waves of terror through me.
Load More Replies...I am terrified of spiders, like crazy terrified. But Lucas, with his eyes, his voice, he has stolen my heart, a Little. He is too cute. Finally I saw a spider that did not make the hairs at the back of my neck stand. He's really cute, I want him to talk for longer, uncle make him do more.
I'm not crazy about spiders running over me either, but something about Jumping spiders, which is what Lucas is modelled after, is different. I find them fascinating and ultra-cute lil 8 legged critters, and I have no problem handling a jumping spider. They're just so different from regular spiders, that there's no creepy with jumpers...even when they jump on my face...heh.
Load More Replies...If this were to be made into a Disney/Pixar, they would have to kill off Lucas' mom early in the movie.
For the first time , "Nope nope nope " looks like cuteness overload
Do you want to know that cured my arachnophobia? Scutigera Coleoptera (commonly known as "house centipede"). The first time I saw one I realized there are far worse critters out there. Somehow, they made spiders look cute in comparison. Besides, the fact scutigera preys on them, made me pity them and any other insect for that matter. Just take my advice, if you don't know what I'm talking about just DON'T GOOGLE THEM.
So what's the first thing I do? Google them. No sleep ever again. Freaky looking bastards.
Load More Replies...So cute!! I'm not afraid of spiders and I never was, so every spider for me is adorable! But this one wins !!!
I absolutely am now in love with Lucas. Great job to the artist who created this. There is a spider that looks very similar to Lucas that I also love in nature. Spiders don't scare me, people scare me. I really hope that the artist and the guy named Ishmael above get together and pitch it to Pixar.
I got bit by a brown recluse spider, spent a few days in the hospital and over three weeks out of work. I will never be over arachnaphobia.
This looks like one of the real jumping spider species.They are very tiny and very cute. Never, never understood Arachnophobia. Spiders are critical to a healthy environment. Real spiders are fascinating, and, yes, cute.
I’m cool with spiders but I think people are afraid of them because they can bite / have venom so it’s like programmed into human response - in combination with the fact that they are so different from us and have the multiple legs and a stereotype of being creepy, and it’s even a social “thing” to be afraid of them for women at least. All of that is a soup of spider hate. People don’t see past the silliness of those things. Even me who likes spiders and doesn’t kill them, I still freak out when they crawl on me. I’d prefer them to just stay in the corners at a distance like they normally do.

Except my arachnophobia is entirely based on physical proximity to the spider. I love spiders, they're awesome, helpful and just look cool in general. I just can't stand being physically near them, and especially not having them actually crawl on me. I blame this on the time in middle school when I woke up with six spider bites on my stomach.
When I was growing up I spent the weekend at a relative's house deep in the swampy woods of Florida. The huntsman spiders were abundant. When I went to bed, I could see numerous critters scurrying through the light from the living room casting on the wall. I shrieked and my mom came in to sleep with me, covers over our heads. We could hear their little feet on the walls. I don't think I slept that night. Hence my severe arachnophobia.

I can't handle how cute this frickin spider is honestly, and i already love spiders
It's like someone took one of those cute little big eyed jumping spiders and dialled it up to 11. I see a lot of those little jumpers with itty bitty black and white tiger stripes around my house.
Load More Replies...Cute but it's a fake spider. It's cute but it's a SPIDER!!! SPIDER.... Do you not understand? ITS A SPIDER!!!
shut up and make this into VR and take my money for curing my arachnophobia !!! <3 it!
Nope. Sorry, still want to drown it in Raid, smash it, set it on fire, and then shoot the ashed into a black hole. The only spider I like is Spider-man.
Soooo cute I would patent this guy who ever made it and then sell it to Disney or Pixar I want this in a movie so bad it’s too cute!!!! Would definitely be a good seller !! DO IT @pixar @disney someone do this!
That is so insanely cute - the butt wiggle and innocent 'blink-blink' of a kitten... But then I always loved spiders so I am not exactly unbiased - lol
Movie, movie, this is my most favorite spider, just love him, and I am a spider person....
Its look like from pixer studio 🤔 antway even if its not real its soo Adorable😍
if it's possible to buy This spider , I wish , because since my Young âge , I always love spider. because it's not This fault to be So ugly
Does he see in 4D? I'm afraid the boot would be dropped before I heard the cute little voice.
Can never say i've been that scared of spiders. Especially small fuzzy ones. It's the ones with huge abdomens, no hair, and spindly legs that creep me out. The number of legs never bothered me.
I remember seeing this for the first time and expecting a jumpscare or something, and its honestly scarier than a normal spider
I actually like spiders, as they eat bugs that annoy me, and this one just makes me want a larger one as a pet.
I've had people reply to a comment I posted on here yesterday but I can't find it anywhere and I'm annoyed about it
I thought the same thing! The spider is adorable and then the voice comes in that literally makes you want to cover your ears.
Load More Replies...Still can't understand why people are so arachnophobic. When I lived in Arizona had a pet tarantula. Let him run all over the house...result...no bug problem. If anybody saw him and got nervous, I'd just pick him up and put him in the aquarium (sans water) until my guests left. Then let him out to get back to work.
How sweet! Spiders are fascinating. Now cockroaches SCARE ME TO DEATH!
Only the two primary eyes are moveable. The rest are fixed. No research done at all. Shitfest.
Yes! Finally a spider I can like! I will try to imagine any new spider coming my way with a cute adorable voice. Maybe that will help me get over my fear of them *L* Thanks!
I LOVE those little spiders! They would make a wonderful pet ! They like to crawl and hop around on you, look at you with those sweet big eyes that seem like they understand everything you say to them. Little cuties!
That's by far the most adorable NOPE I've ever seen. I would definitely take a sec to appreciate it's little adorableness and say "Awwww"......right before I killed it with plenty of fire.
Too many feelers cause me all the wrong feels... but the eyes are sucking me in!
I think maybe should have been a definite female voice for reasons, but cute. Did not cure my arachnophobia cause I don't hate spiders, I'm just TERRIFIED that one will touch me....
Yesterday I saw a spider with a small body and looooong thin legs in my bathroom, I let her stay there because she hasn´t come close to me and she might eat some vinegar flies etc. that I still have in here even though it´s autumn, and if I put her outside with my upside-down plastic mug plus thinner cardboard piece-method she wouldn´t find anything to eat THERE anymore and starve + die, but if I met Lucas the spider "in person" I´d probably pet him, so cute!!! 💖💖💖 But by the way, only the female spiders go hunting with or without a net, the male spiders´re only there for mating, afterwards they either starve or the female spider eats them.... 😲😲😲
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH I want this to be feature film immediately.
Sorry, it still made me shudder even though I know it's not real. That's how much I dislike spiders. I don't think I'd spend the money to see a full length movie about any kind of spider.
Ok I liked spiders before this, but now they're like my favorite animal
This reminds me of the zebra jumping spiders, I'm afraid of spiders but not the jumping spider spieces :)
Ill stick to my regular spiders rather than one with human like consciousness, easier to predict.
I'll stick to regular spiders rather than ones with human like consciousness, easier to predict.
I am petrified of spiders. However that being said it is a cute spider. I can't believe, that I would put cute and spider in the same sentence. He is absolutely adorable on screen but, I wouldn't want to meet up with him off screen.
I will be happy to see a film about him. Even i am 22 years old. He is so Cute!!!.
Additional to IShmael's comment - needs the hashtage #BugsR4Girls (Its a thing, Look it up!) and then a link to citizen science. :)
I was soo scared to click on this page because at first I didn't realize it was an animation. My hands are still sweaty..
That is adorable. I hope a movie or something about this cute spider happens because I'd totally watch it. I love it. If this was a doll I'd buy it. Lol.
This needs to be made into a story and shared, so others can fall in love with Lucas, too.
I would love this movie and my 10 yr old who loves spiders would love it too. He saves them when they are in the house by taking them outside. ADORABLE! Disney get on this
COPYRIGHT COPYRIGHT COPYRIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! https://www.copyright.gov/
Im curious.. anyone any idea of the software he used to make this ?? Id love to know
With this I now believe animators are magicians- because here an atrocity has become adorable. I would love to have Lucas become a "private eye(s)" that gets the job done despite his size, everyone's aversion to him, and his maniacally cute ADHD. Do it.
Love it! I was hoping it was a bot
It's a trap. It's just trying to lure you into its web where it can eat you...
it's cute sort off. but anything that walks on more than 4 legs and has 8 eyes gives me the fooking creeps. yikes!!
He's cute, but I hate hairy spiders. Daddy Long Legs, no problem, but the hairy ones, EEEKKKK!
You haven't seen jumping spiders, have you? This is just what Lucas is!
Load More Replies...f**k CGI, cgi isnt even art, dreamworks is a hackjob, and disney hasnt made anything good in DECADES. disney is literally the sluttiest channel on tv. id feel safer letting my kids watch HBO, at least they arent force fed agendas and advertising
THAT IS SOOOO STINKIN CUTE!!! THE VOICE MAKES IT!!! Cant wait for the movie!! :)
Agreed. If he walked like a spider......then squish. But since he doesn't he can stay.
I have one of these spiders in my house who's been hanging out for months. He be-bops from one place to another when I get too close to him. I'm not fond of spiders but this spidey is adorable and very small.
I meant "I suffer from short-term remembery-loss".
