“Charlotte's Web,” A Children's Classic Filled with Magic Comes to Life

“Charlotte's Web” is an outstanding movie based on the animated version which is also based on the original book. This movie is for the young and old who have an imagination. It's for anyone who is still a kid at heart. In the movie, facts intertwine with fantasy in a quest to save a pigs life that is doomed to become Christmas dinner.

“Charlotte's Web” is a (2006) G rated family movie based on the book, “Charlotte's Web” by E. B. White which was first published in (1952). This film is 96 minutes of pure fun for any child or adult.

The main character of Fern is played by Dakota Fanning who does an outstanding job of portraying a little girl with a big heart for a runty pig who seems to be doomed from the day he is born.

In the film the little pig (Wilbur) is moved to Zuckerman's farm when he can no longer stay in the house with Fern. At the farm he makes all kinds of friends, but only one, (Charlotte) the spider cares so much that she tries time after time to save him from his certain destiny of becoming Christmas dinner.

In the end, Wilbur's life is saved thanks to his best friend Charlotte and the whole town celebrates with him in a parade. This children's story truly has a happy ending indeed.

What little girl wouldn't love "Charlotte's Web?' Why do you think it is that little girls love it and little boys wouldn't be caught dead reading or watching it? It is a mystery to me but it's true.

Actually, that is not true. All of my three boys and my husband likes this movie and the cartoon version, too. My girl loves to read the book also but my boys do not read much of anything.

One of my favorite childhood stories. I bought the E.B White collection to read to my kids when they were small, but I could never read all of Charolett`s Web without bawling.Grand-kids should be coming in the next few years and I still have the books.I think I`ll give them to my daughter to read to them though....it may be dryer :)

You are welcome Francie. This is one of my favorites too, Ianne & Lucy. I am still a big kid I guess.
