Charlotte's Web

In Robert Nelson Jacobs's adaptation of E.B. White's classic, a plucky pig named Wilbur seeks salvation from his grim fate at the hands of the farmer when autumn arrives. With the help of his arachnid ally, Charlotte, Wilbur navigates the pastoral idyll of Zuckerman's farm, where the bonds of friendship and the tenacity of ingenuity vie against the harsh realities of rural life. The film distills the original's gentle philosophy and heartwarming narrative into a visually rich, if predictable, family fare.
