It preserves some of the form and language of White's original but fattens and sweetens his lean and pungent prose with songs by Richard and Robert Sherman.
Top CriticHeartwarming tale of love and friendship.
A charming animated adaptation of E.B. White's beloved fantasy.
Almost as sweet as the children's classic novel, "Charlotte's Web" is just, well, crawling with entertainment.
One of the year's best family films.
Family Entertainment never got better
Some classic!
The Hanna-Barbera animation is better than the studio's usual bare-bones mediocrity, and the voice cast is superb.
Fairly crude animation, but a sweet and necessary story is told here about love and loss.
the much-loved book loses nothing in its transfer to the screen
Charming kid's cartoon full of great voice performances.
An animated children's classic about a spider and a pig and their exploration of brotherly love and self-sacrifice.
E.B. White's affecting tale is given a Saturday morning cartoon treatment.
