Charlotte's Web

Directed by Charles A. Nichols and Isao Takahata, 1973
G; 93 minutes

E.B. White's beloved children's tale is brought to life in this animated musical film, which finds the young farm pig Wilbur attempting to avoid a dire fate. Of all the barnyard creatures, Wilbur's staunchest ally is Charlotte, a thoughtful spider who devises an intriguing plan to keep the gentle little swine out of harm’s way. Although Charlotte's efforts, which involve words written in her delicate web, seem far-fetched, they might just work.
