Charlotte's Web

SOME MINI-REVIEW

Nostalgia. It isn't great but it's enjoyable enough.

Classic animation. Great story. Perfect film for all ages, though it falls short compared to what some modern animation is capable of.

I went to public elementary school in the suburbs in the 90s so I definitely saw this 5 or 6 times. It should beat learning about fractions.

wore out my vhs of this as a child, as a result all the songs are ingrained in my brain forever

This scene with Templeton is a classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nq7pskwFUv0

Respectable though overly sentimental adaptation is better than average kiddie fare, though some of the liberties taken to soften some of the novel’s emotional moments (especially the baffling decision to completely dilute Charlotte’s final scene) drag it down somewhat; gets by on its spirited voice cast, headed by Reynolds who makes a lovely Charlotte, and Lynde’s full-bore camp Templeton.

A beautifully moving adaptation of a somewhat more poignant allegorical novel.

I think Charlotte might have been my first movie-crush. Probably wouldn't care for it anymore.

I was sad when Charlotte died...until I remembered that she was a creepy spider that injected poison into other living beings that liquefied their internal organs so she could feast on the goo. The movie wasn't quite so traumatic after that.

Something is wrong with this cover. Wilbur looks creepy as fuck. I am scared of this movie now.

Charlotte's Web is a sweet animated film based on the classic children's novel by E.B. White. The voice acting is excellent, and the movie as a whole is lovable and fun. It's an excellent adaptation of the book and one that could only be done right in animation. Really good!

If you're a big fan of the book, this movie does it justice. I, however, don't count it as one of my favorite stories, but can appreciate good animation when I see it.

Classic. Fun and sweet, even if the animation is spotty.

What I could never figure out was why, with these mysterious messages appearing in a web over a pig sty, people went: "Wow, what a special pig!" but never paid any attention to who wrote the messages, as if they were so mindlessly vulnerable to suggestion that they couldn't even be bothered to notice a spider who could write.

I have to give this points for being a classic.

Deeply dark in places, equally touching and funny in others. A story that works equally well for both adults and children. A good story with one of the last true animated movie feels.

good cartoon.

B-

At this point in 2009, all of Charlotte's children are dead too.

Needlessly depressing.

I remember loving this movie when I was very young, but God is it dated and God does it drag on. I can't say as I hated it - Debbie Reynolds at least is lovable enough as Charlotte - but when the best part of the whole movie is the opening credits, you're doing something wrong. If it had taken maybe a more somber tone, it could have worked better, but as it stands, it's far too bouncy and saccharine for my taste.

rvw. i loved it as a kid. i even watched it like 7ish years ago and think i still did lol. now i just love things about it. the only scenes i really remembered were at the fair with the rat :P. the songs are mostly meh. raising him, the charlotte lessons, and her kids are prob my fav parts. i thought templeton woulda done more to get love but this isnt the brave little toaster to the rescue lol

I think this was my first animated movie ever, so I have some emotional attachment to it. Not incredible, but still has a very powerful message.

Classic movie based on the children's novel.

I grew up watching this one and truly love it.

A pretty great representation of the story. The animation's a little dated-looking nowadays, but there's still a bit of decent music and a good story behind it.

Oh man I loved this fucking movie as a kid. I would love to see it again.

Some pig.

It's not completely worthless, but the book deserved a better rendition on film (and still hasn't gotten it!).

I learned what a smorgasbord is from this movie. now i'm hungry

Been a long while

The whole aesthetic feels uninspired and musty, and the protagonist doesn't goddamn do anything. Fortunately the voice acting and songs are decent, and the story pulls fewer punches than I thought it would. Not a masterpiece, or even a mere gem, but one of the better efforts to take advantage of Disney's slump.

Even as a kid I hated that smug pig bastard.

I remember really hating the icky music.

Decent for children.

Seen: 2+.

I liked when I was a kid. A nice little kid's flick.

At school. :-)
