Inspector Sun and the Curse of the Black Widow

'Inspector Sun and the Curse of the Black Widow' is an animated film set in Shanghai, China in the year 1934. It follows the life of veteran Inspector Sun, who is voiced by Ronny Chieng. Sun is a lonesome spider who lives in the insect world, a parallel universe to that of humans, where the spiders are the policemen. The inspector completes his last mission, in which he manages to catch his nemesis Red Lobster, before taking a well-deserved retirement. However, it doesn't turn out to be as easy as he thought it would be. While he is on vacation aboard a Pan Am clipper plane between Shanghai and San Francisco, the millionaire Dr. Spindelthorp is found murdered. This brings an abrupt end to his break, as he must take charge of the new police case. On the surface, it looks like just a routine case, but soon Inspector Sun will realize that it's a crucial case for the fate of the insect world, but also for the future of the human's world.
