Anansi’s Carnival Adventure

by Alberto Justiniano with music by Gary Rue

Anansi the spider is on a quest to help Felipe and his friends save the forest when the mayor of the Caribbean Island town of San Pedro sells the surrounding forest to developers. In a rescue attempt, a group of kids join Anansi and his animal friends in seeking help from Hurracan, the Taino God of the wind, to rid the forest of the developers. The motley crew encounters boxing turtles and giant serpents in order to trick themselves out of a dangerous situation.
