Kumo to Tulip (くもとちゅうりっぷ, Kumo to Chūrippu, lit. "Spider and Tulip") is a short animated Japanese film made in 1943 by Kenzo Masaoka. It is a story about a ladybug being chased by a black-faced spider. The spider catches the ladybug, but then it rains, the spider drowns, and the ladybug is freed by a friendly fly.
In 2001, the Japanese magazine Animage elected Kumo to Tulip one of the greatest anime productions of all time.[1]
A spider wants to lure a beetle-woman into her net by singing, but she recognizes the danger and flees. She saves herself in a tulip, in which she is then wrapped by the spider's thread. Shortly after, a storm rises, which the beetle-woman (protected by the flower) survives, but the spider gets thrown through the air until it finally lands in a puddle.
