Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

When I was six my grandparents bought me a VHS tape of this movie, and I loved it. The animation was great, the story was dramatic, humorous and clever, the characters were well-drawn and original and the soundtrack was amazing, maybe a bit too much but there were still some good songs in there, mainly the one that plays while Charlotte spins her first web, the one that reads, "some pig".Rather than dumb down or conceal the fact of death from children the way most animated movies do, Charlotte's death is shown, portrayed as a beautiful and sad ending to life. Wilbur becomes her babies' surrogate father.The remake of this movie was a pathetic attempt, the original will always be the best by far.

I am rating this 10/10 for the enjoyment it gave me as a kid. I recently learned that Hollywood had made a terrible-looking remake in 2006, so in protest I decided to try re-watching the original. I am sorry to report it did not hold up too well. The animation is cheap, the songs feel half-baked, and they kind of botched the close relationship between Wilbur and Charlotte that made the books so charming and heartbreaking. In case you are new to this story, it is about a pig who befriends a spider who saves him from the chopping block in a unique and creative way. It is an adorable concept but as I mentioned it is much better executed in the book by E.B. White. I would recommend showing this movie to little kids who won't notice the sad parts and then giving them the novel when they are old enough. It makes a good "first chapter book."

I loved Charlotte's Web mainly because of the songs, the story, and the characters. When Wilbur's life is in danger of becoming dinner, he turns to a clever and friendly spider named Charlotte for help. Desperate to come up with an idea to save Wilbur, how will she send the word that even the runt of the liter can be some terrific, radiant, humble creature? Starring Debbie Reynolds(From Singin' in the Rain) as Charlotte, Henry Gibson(From the Pound Puppies TV Special) as Wilbur, Paul Lynd(From The Perils of Penelope Pitstop and Cattanoga Cats) as Templeton, Agnes Moorehead(From Bewitched) as the Goose, Don Messick(From Scooby-Doo Where Are You?) as Jeffrey, Bob Holt(From various Dr. Seuss classics such as the Lorax and Dr. Seuss is On the Loose) as Mr. Zuckerman, Pamelyn Ferdin(From A Boy Named Charlie Brown) as Fern Arable, John Stephenson(From the Hobbit and Scooby-Doo Where Are You?) as Mr. Arable, and Rex Allen as the Narrator. Featuring memorable lyrics by Robert M Sherman(RIP) and Richard Sherman(They were known for Mary Poppins, Snoopy Come Home, The Sword in the Stone, and It's a Small World), this wonderful adaption from the book of the same name by EB White is perfect for everybody who read the book or thought that the 2006 live-action version is bad.

From the famous E.B. White children's novel (adapted by Earl Hamner Junior) came this Charles A. Nichols translation of "Charlotte's Web". The movie is a better than average animated feature about friendship on a farm between a pig and a spider. May have some good lessons for the younguns but holds little value for adults.Features the famed voice of Debbie Reynolds, who can hold her own when singin' a tune, and an enjoyable Henry Gibson. Paul Lynde and Agnes Moorhead provide comic relief as the resident rat and the chatty goose. Narrated by Rex Allen.Sunday, January 18, 1998 - Video
