Lucas the Spider
Lucas is a small jumping spider in a human house. He talks like a little kid. Findley is a greedy fly. Avocado is the family dog. Bodhi is a chameleon. This first Netflix bundle: hot cookies, a toy that will not stop squeaking, and Lucas practising bigger jumps. Soft. He still looks like a spider.

Before you press play
He is a jumping spider the size of a grape, and he says hi. Lucas lives in a house with Findley the fly, Avocado the dog, and Bodhi the chameleon. The people are out. First short: cookies too hot to eat. Then a toy that squeaks and squeaks. Then Lucas wants a bigger jump. Kind, small, YouTube-born. If your child hates spiders, the face will not matter.
- A spider who talks
- Waiting so you do not get burnt
- A toy that will not quiet down
- Jumping higher
What may feel big
Lucas looks like a real jumping spider, just rounder. Findley goes for cookies that will burn his mouth; they have to stop him. Avocado's squeaky toy fills the room. Lucas keeps jumping farther. Later episodes add a robot chase and a ghost-camp story we have not timed.
4-6. Gentle if they can look at a spider. Sit nearby for the first minute. Turn the squeak down. If arachnids are a hard no, pick another title.
7-9. Usually easy and young. Same spider face.
10-12. A younger-sibling watch. Nothing here is meant to linger, unless spiders already do.

If you have not watched it yet
Should I sit with them?
You do not have to sit glued to the couch. Stay nearby on a first watch, especially if waiting, noise, or small disappointments land big in your house. The notes above say what happens. You know your child. This is not medical advice.
