Sony's efforts to continue making movies about Spider-Man characters without Spider-Man in them continues with the follow-up to the 2018 movie "Venom".

Watch out for that tree! How did this short lived 1960's animated parody of Tarzan turn into a live-action comedy for kids that introduced a generation to making fun of movies, breaking the fourth wall, and the British humour of John Cleese.
