The Spider Within: Animated Spider-Verse Short Gets YouTube Release Date

The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story will be released on YouTube later this month.

Per Variety, a new animated Spider-Verse short titled The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse will be released on Sony Pictures Animation’s YouTube channel on March 27, 2024.

What is The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse about?

Created by Sony Pictures Animation and Sony Pictures Imagework, The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story is “set in the world of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and follows Miles Morales/Spider-Man as he struggles to balance his responsibilities as a teenager, friend, student and Spider-Man. In navigating those pressures, Miles experiences a panic attack that forces him to confront the manifestations of his anxiety and learn that reaching out for help can be just as brave an act as protecting his city from evil.”

The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story debuted at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in June 2023. The short is directed by Jarelle Dampier.

“Miles represents so many of us doing the best we can in our day-to-day lives,” said Dampier. “We don’t often realize all that we’ve been through until our own body forces us to become aware of its experience. My intention is that The Spider Within can motivate deeper conversations amongst friends & family about their own mental health journeys — and I hope it feels like a love letter to those who adore Miles Morales.”

Sony Pictures Animation and Imageworks are partnering with the Kevin Love Fund with the release of The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story. The short will be part of the Kevin Love Fund’s new mental health-focused lesson plan that “invites students to tell their own story through the lens of mental health awareness via an interactive curriculum including a creative storyboard activity.”

The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story releases on YouTube on March 27, 2024.
