Charlotte's Web is one of the most touching, lovely movies I have seen in decades. That sweet girl, Fern, who saved the runt pig, Wilbur, and raised him, is magnificent. Wilbur is wonderful. But the award goes to Julia Robertson as the spider, Charlotte. She is enchanting. The webs she wove?!?!? Just marvelous. And the other animals were fabulous. What a cast! What an interpretation of how animals live and interact. Oh, and did I forget Templeton, the rat? A surprise character that just keeps everything running great as only a rat can do. John Cleese as the head sheep with his "quit following" orders to the other sheep is just cheeky! And those two bovines - gotta love 'em - and the geese? Oprah, thank you for Gussy! The horse is wonderful - thank you Robert!
I will not forget this marvelous movie soon. Everyone needs some lovely simple magic - this movie will give it. See it and come out very happy.
