Charlotte's Web....radiant
Charlotte's Web is an enchanting story by E.B. White, and the film director, Gary Winick, does a fine job continuing the legacy. For those not familiar, Charlotte’s Web is about Wilbur, a pig who learns his fate is to be breakfast bacon, as a result, he tries everything thinkable to stay alive, which includes commandeering the assistance of his fellow barn mates, most notable the brilliant spider, Charlotte, voice by Julia Roberts.
Charlotte to save her friend, spins her web and leaves messages to alert the town, that Wilbur is "Some Pig, Radiant, Terrific, & Humble" and should be saved from the kitchen table. This story celebrates friendship. What makes this depiction of Charlotte’s Web enjoyable is the ensemble of recognizable voices from Julie Roberts, to other barnyard characters played by, Cedric the Entertainer, Oprah Winfrey, and Kathy Bates, Steve Buscemi, and many more. In addition, Dakota Fanning, is convincing & adorable as Fern, Wilbur’s enthusiastic caregiver, who manages to cajole her family to enter Wilbur into a State Fair in order to see him shine with the help of his friends. GO SEE, Charlotte’s Web, it's fun & ideal for the entire family. (97 minutes, PG)

I took your advice and saw Charlotte's Web. It was better than I expected. I usually have a hard time distinguishing the voices of the stars, but this movie was so powerful that it didn't matter. Thanks for recommending it..I probably wouldn't have seen it, otherwise.
Hello Sharon -
It is always a pleasure to hear from you. I think Charlotte's Web is a story that reminds us its okay to be a kid again, at least for 97 minutes (the length of the film). Its refreshing and fun, glad you enjoyed it as well.
All the best.
