Random white guy here, the image of Anansi and his sons has been in my head since I was probably 6 or 7. No idea how I came across it and I had no clue what it was from. I'm glad I found it 20 years later, its such a beautiful story.
Yup same, seeing this legit unlocked a core memory it might be one of the oldest I have now. I might’ve been 8 or 9 when a woman from Ghana came and spoke to us about their tales. Old and rich culture, cool to see it again. Thanks for uploading!
The original book got a Caldecot Medal, so I think a lot of us were able to run across it growing up
You’re supposed to help blacks
This is real this is not a folktale/Story. This Spider with a human head (human spider) as I call it appeared to me in my bedroom. It was as huge as the ceiling (giant) with a human head(human skull💀) that was yellow. I thought I was going to die because I thought my heart was going to stop from a heart attack. It left really soon as it appeared to me. Not long after I lost control of my life with depression crippling depression something happened to me I couldn't explain. I didn't know this human spider was the reason my life completely changed until I saw this again as an animation and watched Mary Kay Baxters testimony (she's a Christian) talk about Jesus taking her to hell so she can later testify about it and she said there a Giant bugs in Hell with human heads/skulls that are demons. Then it all clicked for me and knew it was witchcraft/ African voodoo someone did to me. After 11 years I'm finally away from the demonic powers that were controlling my life to ruin it because of this human spider that physically manifested on this earth realm that is actually a DEMON. I knew this human spider was real I just never knew people knew this was real. I am here to expose the devil. This human spider 🕷️ with a human head is actually a DEMON. And ONLY THROUGH JESUS CHRIST CAN YOU DISMANTLE THE DEMONIC POWERS SENT TO DESTROY YOU. The person who wrote this "false tale" KNOWS this is real and they themselves are WITCHES (Practice the craft Witchcraft) and contact evil spirits demons). God is a spirit and in his word he exposed the evil spirits. If it's not God the Holy spirit, then it's witchcraft power from Satan the devil. Read your Bibles God exposed the devil. I wasn't a Christian before this thing happened to me and know it all makes sense. Satan I will expose you and your Kingdom in Jesus name.
Random black guy here, and no JOKE I HAD THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME that’s why I’m here. I just remember it being told or read to me idk.
I am not from Africa I grew up in Jamaica and Anansi stories is well known on that Island, the colinianist did not allow African people to have books but the African peopl from Ghana taken as slaves to Jamaica still remenber Anansi stories.
I remember Anansi from elementary school,back in the early 70's....I loved (and still do) fairy and folk tales, and Clever Anansi,with the colorful designs, kept my whole class engaged ❤️
🦧🦧🦧🦧🦧🦈
Fix🦑🐠♨️ 🌼🍂🐔
Me too i saw this when i was a kid
And early 60's here. Never forgot Anansi the Spider
I remember Anansi from my elementary school years back in the early '90s.
I've find African fable characters like Anansi and Brer Rabbit so fascinating. Stories about tricksters overcoming obstacles while also learning important lessons are just so great. These fables need more recognition.
I remember seeing this on Reading Rainbow as a kid. Actually my favorite story from that show.
My children love this book. I remember reading it as a child and I’m glad to pass these stories on to them and continue the oral traditions that were stolen from us.
@@coolperson962 right! Because the oral traditions that our ancestors had to keep their history were erased thanks to slavery and colonization.

It's amazing how I saw this book in my elementary school library and have never forgotten it all these years later, how the name Anansi just popped into my head tonight (spelled it correctly and everything) for me to find this video
I remember this from my childhood. It brought tears to my eyes just like John Henry. I love sharing these with my child. Thank you for posting❣🙏🏾
I didn’t know this story as a child but we read this book to our son! Live long and prosper, y’all!
Never knew this had an animated adaptation. As a person with parents who are both immigrants from Ghana and my Dad being part Ashanti, this was a story my mom read to me a lot when I was little.
Interesting Africa is a cool place the was beautifuly animated from 1969

I remember this as a kid, and never forgot the stories about Anansi.
Omg I remember this story from my childhood! I loved the story and the art. This story has stayed with me for 49yrs
Aw we read this book in primary school! Thanks for uploading this Anansi kinda popped into my head out of nowhere
Shout out to the center of puppetry arts in Atlanta for sharing this story through a puppet show form with students via zoom during the pandemic.
Where more of these animated films produced at the time besides The Magic Tree and Anansi the Spider? These are fantastic. Thanks so much for posting such gems.
Growing up in the Caribbean these stories were told.
I grew up on this book and series !
My Mom used to watch this as a kid!
I remember this character, he was surprisingly in a lot of cartoons when I was a kid. He's been my favorite mythical character from Africa since childhood.
I remember seeing this in elementary school back in the 90s. I was watching a different channel that mentioned Anansi and got this recommended. Wild...
I remember reading anansi stories as a kid. The spider in the thumbnail is the exact picture I remember and the only images of spiders that didn’t terrify me.
Anansi was a big part of my childhood growing up.
How awesome to find this! I remember learning about Anansi the clever spider in elementary school. The story was told by a puppeteer who used African-inspired puppets.
I loved these tales. Never forgot them and retold them to my own children who remember them til today.
I'm writing my final paper for a Mythology course on Anansi. Thanks for posting this, it can be difficult to find primary sources of oral traditions.
Thanks for sharing. This is one of my favorite stories
Thank you for this! This was a book I read over and over as a kid!
A real joy, and Athmani Magoma is a wonderful storyteller. thank you for sharing this film.

Salvadoran 🇸🇻 here for some weird reason my mother had the book when I was a kid. It's 2am, and the memories suddenly came back. cool book. I hope to buy a copy since the original one I had was lost and share it to the generations that come after me so this story can live on.
I’m mixed and my mama used to read me this book all the time and I can only vaguely remember the story so it’s nice to here is again
Wow I loved this picture book!
Thank you so much for these!!!!
I still have this book. A happy nostalgic childhood memory.
An inspiration for the Spider-Man character perhaps considering the trickster aspect and defeating much larger foes.
Omgoodness I haven’t seen this since my childhood. Thankyou.
I remember this as a child!
Lol! I just made a comment on your previous upload (The Magic Tree) about Anasi! 🕷 🕷 Thanks again for the wonderful cartoon! Hopefully, you have more to upload that we haven't seen.😉
I vaguely remember seeing this in elementary school!

I remember seeing this video as a child. I have no idea where I saw it.

and and she is also ashanti.
Haven’t seen this in a good minute.
I remember reading the book when I was 11 and I’m now 16 Thanks to my music teacher she made me remember the book.
I was in my 3rd grade play of Anansi the spider.... I WAS ANANSI!! 😁 1997ish
I remember being shown this in school as a kid
This is how I remember the story being told
Does this mean that all the sons deserved the light ? I want to make sure I understood the moral of the story :) love it it brings me back memories
I remember when I watched this at school at 7 or 6.
My students loved Anansi!
Sickest beats ever in this
Cushion was always my favorite.
Yes the story was told by mom and dad as Ashanti's and a Ghanaian as we loved it so much.
The moral of the story was not act like kweku anansi and be vigilant in our dealings.
Orlando Jone's Mr. Nancy a.k.a. Anansi The Spider character from American Gods brought me here.
Timeless wisdom 💎🔔💎🔔
I remember watching this as a kid bro
Childhood classic🌍
I remember this author and illustrator of the caldecot medal winning book Arrow to the Sun.
"River Drinker" is the coolest of Anansi's sons.🌊🕷
