Summaries

Wilbur is a farm pig who's terrified that he'll end up on the dinner table. His friend Charlotte, a charming spider, comes to his rescue. She weaves words into her web, convincing the farmer that Wilbur is too special a pig to kill.

Based on the beloved children's novel by E.B. White, this is the story of a pig named Wilbur who was born a runt. John Arable decides to kill him for dinner food but his daughter, Fern, begs him to let him live. On greater maturity, he is sold to Fern's uncle, Homer Zuckerman, in whose barnyard he's left yearning for friendship, but is snubbed by the other animals. He is scared of the end of the season, because he knows that come that time, he will end up on the dinner table. He hatches a plan with Charlotte, a gentle and wise gray spider that lives above his pen, to ensure that this will never happen.—Murray Chapman <[email protected]>

Miracles do happen. E.B. White's timeless children's novel comes to life in this colorful animated musical. You'll laugh and sing along as Charlotte teaches Wilbur, Templeton, and the other barnyard animal lessons on friendship, trust, and love.
