Summary Note |
The classic story of loyalty, trust and sacrifice comes to life in this live action adaptation. Fern (Dakota Fanning) is one of only two living beings who sees that Wilbur is a special animal, as she raises him from being the runt of the litter into a terrific and radiant pig. As Wilbur moves into a new barn, he begins a second profound friendship with the most unlikely of creatures - a spider named Charlotte, and their bond inspires the animals to come together as a family. When the word gets out that Wilbur's days are numbered, it seems that only a miracle will save his life. A determined Charlotte who sees miracles in the ordinary spins words into her web in an effort to convince the farmer that Wilbur is some pig, and worth saving. Charlotte's Web, written by EB White and with illustrations by Garth Williams, is the best selling children's paperback of all time. |
