Anansi And the Magic Mirror
Synopsis:
anansi is the original Spider Man, a half-man half-spider that is part of the African tradition that slaves took to the Caribbean and the States. Though he lies and cheats a bit to get by he is the hero of dozens of stories and new ones are appearing all the time. This one gets him mixed up with Obeah sorcerer Nana Susu and her daughters: the good adjoah and the bad Lilith, on whom her mother has cast a spell to send her to the nether world. Unwittingly anansi lifts that spell. Wicked Lilith seizes power and turns the land's joint kings Bredda Lion and Bredda Tiger into captive pussy cats. Can anansi and young adjoah out things right again?

Oddest Couple, The
Synopsis:
casts the double act Robbie Gee and Eddie Nestor as an array of charcters. West Indian pensioners with trenchant views on modern life; Ragg girls, preening teenies wrapped up in their own gorgeousness; and the Butu Boys, MCs with an unconvincing line in West Coast gangsta patter.
